- Do I need to season the baskets before first use?
- Yes. Mist the rattan lightly, dust it generously with flour and let it dry before the first proof. Repeat once or twice so the flour builds a release layer.
- Can the silicone mat go in the oven?
- Only up to 230°F. It is meant for shaping and resting dough on the counter, not for baking bread at typical oven temperatures.
- How do I clean the rattan baskets?
- Hand wash with a stiff brush and warm water, then dry thoroughly in open air. Never soak them or put them in a dishwasher, and avoid prolonged damp storage.
- What sizes are the baskets?
- The round basket is about 9 inches wide and the oval about 11 by 9 inches, both 6 inches tall. That suits standard 1 to 1.5 pound doughs.
- Is this set good for a beginner?
- Yes. It covers both common loaf shapes and includes a lame, scraper and mat, so a new baker does not need to assemble tools separately.
- Can I use the baskets without the liners?
- Yes. Flour the rattan well and the dough will take the coil pattern. The liners help with wetter doughs and are easier to wash.
