A great proofing bowl, the spiral design is light and gives bread a lovely pattern.
The scraper is solid but the attached scalpel is a little less sharp than I’d like.
Still, pretty essential for making sourdough.
If you’re just starting out with the bread making thing, this is ideal. The banneton is quite sturdy and seems well put together. You also get the fabric cover, a little 7g pack of yeast and the lame to score the top of the dough. I use a new paint brush to get rid of the flour after use and it seems to be easy enough to clean too.
The basket is a simple yet effective item to have in the kitchen if you making a fair bit of bread.
It does the proving amazing and leaves a lovely circular pattern on your bread.
The tools it comes with are extremely handy to have to help cut the bread down or get out the basket of needing to.
Definitely generously flour your basket and loaf before popping in. This is to avoid it sticking to the basket. Once down, you can gently tap the basket and the flour falls out to be used again!
This is a new adventure for me, making this type of bread! A bit of a learning curve but this certainly makes it easy . It is also a good size loaf.
This is a great little set. I needed a second bowl and the knife was a bonus. The dough scraper isn’t great also the cap doesn’t stay on the blade which is dangerous. Other than that I’d buy again if needed.
Just what you need to get started as an amateur baker. Yes there is a bit of a factory smell to the basket at first, but the instructions state to give it a wash and then dry it in the sun/low oven so after I did that it did not smell at all. Once it is dusted with rice flour it works a real treat, I leave it in the warm kitchen on the counter to prove and the dough gets a lovely stripey look from the basket and the flour. I can then dip it straight onto the baking tray after the second prove. Looks amazing when done. The razor blade is not super sharp, but it works.
The basket is surprisingly easy to clean – knock out as much dry flour as possible first, then clean the remainder using a washing up brush and water. Thorough rinse then leave to dry.
I haven’t made much use of the hessian cover / bag, and the “knife” looks a bit dangerous to use. Scraper is OK but not very robust.
Overall I’m happy with the set – gives an authentic look to my loaves

You will need to purchase the ingredients separately.
Once you watch bread or Sourdough Bread youtube video’s you will understand what each of the equipment is used for. Assuming you are a beginner.
I am a beginner in bread making and the first time wasn’t so successful. but I got better by the third time. My family and I make bread at least once a week and it’s great fun.
I’m really happy with this purchase.
