7 Piece Banneton Basket Set: 9 inch Round+ 10x6x4 inch Oval Sourdough Bread Lame+ Dough Bowl, Bowl Scraper+ Bread Bag | Bread Proofing Basket Starter for Making Homemade Bread

Great quality

The media could not be loaded. I use almost the entire 7 pieces. The green scoring tool is not my favorite and seems dull so I use my own sharper knives to score the loaves. I don’t wash the fabric between uses, just sprinkle more flour before placing in the dough. I’ve seen some place the dough straight into the wooden baskets and use the fabric liners to cover the loaf, but I use a damp towel to cover the dough so it doesn’t dry out. The white plastic cutter is super useful to cut the dough as well as scrape the flour from the working surface. The bread bag is cute, but if you leave the bread in it overnight, it will dry out.

I really like these baskets! They are easy to clean if you have a good little brush to get into the grooves to clean them. One thing to note that you will have to flower them down really well so that your bread will not stick to them. I have found that it takes Several flourings To get the right amount of flour in them. So when you turn them over, in the beginning, you have to gently use your Fingers to pull the bread away from the bowls to place in your Dutch oven.

Evert thing in this package is very nice except the blade for cutting the dough is not very sharp.

I am getting back into sourdough bread baking, and this set has everything needed. For less than $28! Forget Temu!!The bannetons are perfect, very well made. The round one might be a bit large for my loaves, but I'll manage. The oval one is perfect. Linen covers are included, a lame, and a plastic scraper, which I already have, and use, but handy if one is still in the dishwasher. And a good sized linen bread bag. What more do you need?!?I have managed without the bannetons for years, but am anxious to get acquainted with them!ETA: yes, the "lame" is pretty 'lame'! But I use a razor blade or scissors anyway.

I bought this as a gift. She likes it

The Bannatons are decent and nicely made. There are no unsightly staples or slapshod work on the bowls. The linens are nice but unless you are baking a large size dough, you won't get the right proofing shape you need for a smaller loaf. The bowls are large and could easily take on 2,000 grams of dough for the bowl bannaton, you will have a lot of space where by the dough will flatten out to the sides and affect the oven spring (mainly talking sourdough here). The bowl is supposed to be 9 in in diameter but it is actually 10 in which means there's a whole lot of extra dough that will be needed in order to fill this thing and for it to keep its shape.Currently I am using a 7-in diameter glass bowl covered with a cloth dusted with rice flour and all-purpose flour as a bannaton. My bread loafs are 790 grams total weight before baking. After I bake the loaves they are perfectly round and beautifully formed with lots of oven spring. The oversized bowl would not work because it would spread out and not shape properly.If I doubled the recipe, the round bannaton might work. When I put my sourdough in the fridge overnight by the morning, it has a nice perfectly round tight form. I inverted onto parchment paper, score it, and drop it into the Dutch oven. This giant bowl would allow the dough to overstretch to the sides (with my current 790g recipe) so by the time it got into the Dutch oven, it would lose its proper shape.The lame does not seem very sharp. There's no way to replace the blade. The dough scraper has sharp right angles on the bottom and it's tough to get into a round bowl for cleaning. It would work okay on a counter bench.I still am contemplating returning this. I can't use the big bowl even if I went to a larger bread size loaf.I will say however, the quality of the Bannatons are good and the burlap bag is very nice. Both are well made.If you bake bread loaves in large size quantity then this might work perfectly for you.I gave it three stars instead of five because of the inaccuracy of the bowl size shown in the ad photos and the fact that the lame is dull and you can't replace the blades. So I still have to buy a new lame.

This is such a nice banneton basket set for anyone on the ubiquitous sourdough bread journey. These baskets are sturdy, made of natural materials and are an absolute necessity for beautiful sourdough loaves. They come with liners, a bench scraper, bread lame and bread bag so they make a great gift too. I'm still learning but I feel well-equipped with this set.
