What we liked

  • + The silicone bread sling lets you lower dough into a hot pot and lift the loaf out with your hands away from the heat.
  • + The banneton is handcrafted from Indonesian rattan with a splinter-free finish and a classic spiral pattern.
  • + Includes a starter jar, whisk, lame and a printed beginner manual, so it covers starter care through scoring.

Trade-offs

  • - The basket is rated for loaves up to 1.5 lb, on the small side for recipes that make one large boule.
  • - You pay for a jar and a sling as well as the basket, so it costs more than a banneton bought alone.
