2 Pcs Masterproofing Long Banneton Proofing Basket- 44 * 9 * 5.5cm

I love how these baskets work; they are excellent for the second rise of dough, and my loaves rolled right out onto the baking stone with minimal collapse.

Review is for Masterproofing set of 2 bannetons for $19.99. Size is perfect; not too long or too short, and the right height. Construction is good; They should hold up over time. OD is 17 1/8"; ID is 16 7/16”; W is 2 9/16” on one and 2 11/16" on the other -- remember these are made by hand, ergo some variability is expected. If you want a super-long baguette, get longer bannetons. The baguette from one of these is perfect for three or even four; two if you are a bread hog!The first negative and possible concern to some is that the rattan wood on these seems much softer than the wood of several other bannetons I have bought this year. I would have preferred harder, yet this may in fact be somewhat of of a blessing: flour may stick better to the micropores in this wood than it would and does to my other baskets. (I have not used these yet.) In any event, I’d urge you to use bread flour or rice flour when dusting bannetons, as they seem to stick a bit better to wood than all purpose flour and to easily release formed dough. .The second but is that the inside of one had two metal staples showing, which I personally do not regard as a big deal, but I report it for the benefit of those who think they must wash the baskets and think rust might appear. I just shake and bang my baskets and then run a brush over them to get rid of most loose flour. I air them thoroughly then wrap in fabric and store.One reviewer reported slivers in abundance. I carefully examined the inside of each basket and found none, though the outside bottom of one had a couple of what I would call fuzzy slivers, which I easily cut at the base with a razor blade. The insides were clean. I’d guess that the outside slivers probably were from the softness of the wood.

Fantastic for overnight proofing! I make sourdough baguettes that need to proof overnight for depth of flavor. I have 4 of these baskets and 4 round. I do not use liners, just flour and they come out every time (if the stick slightly I can tilt on side and put my hand in to help ease out). My baguettes come out beautifully.

See photos.On a related note, as part of this order, I also bought the Masterproofing Oval 1.5 pound proofing basket. Same problems. I will post the photos for that oval basket under that review.

These are so neat! There are two in each order. I'm glad I ordered this length rather than the longer ones. This is pretty much a great size for a long, thin baguette. I'm also thinking about using one as a sort of container for small items.

This makes a great bread roll. Nice size. Not too big not too small.

It is excellent! I love it

The cane is quite rough...not as smooth as others I have used.

Great product!

I returned these as they were very splintery, and I really don't like crisp baguettes. They would probably be fine for those who like hard-crusted baguettes. Plus, I'm proofing my sourdough breads in a simpler way.

Great for making French bread.
