Do I need to season these baskets like a cane banneton?

No. The silicone surface does not need the flour-and-water seasoning cane baskets require. A light dusting of flour before each proof is enough.

Will the bread crust be as crisp as with a rattan basket?

Usually not quite. Cane wicks moisture away from the dough, while silicone holds it in, so crusts tend to be a little softer.

What sizes are the baskets?

Both baskets are 9 inches across, one round and one oval. That fits standard boules and batards but is snug for very large loaves.

Can the baskets go in the dishwasher?

The silicone is easy to hand wash and generally dishwasher safe on a top rack. Dry them fully before folding to store.

Two foldable silicone proofing baskets, a linen couche for baguettes, and five extra baking tools such as a scraper and scoring lame.

Is this a good set for a beginner?

Yes. It covers round, oval and baguette proofs in one kit and needs no seasoning, which makes it a low-friction start.

Our take on the Lorzon Silicone Banneton Bread Proofing Baskets Set of 2

The Lorzon set gives you two foldable silicone proofing baskets, one round and one oval, plus a linen couche for baguettes and five extra tools. Silicone baskets collapse for storage and release dough without the flour-heavy seasoning a cane banneton needs. They suit home bakers who want an easy-clean, space-saving alternative to traditional rattan, though silicone does not wick moisture the way cane does, so crusts come out a little softer. With 16 ratings at 4.4 out of 5, owners mostly report the set works as a starter kit.
