Rectangular Proofing Basket 5-1/8" x 13-3/4" Orange Polypropylene Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to give this proofing basket a try instead of the bamboo type. I was concerned that traces of the dough left on the bamboo baskets would have the potential to draw ants.
I highly recommend a proofing basket for the no-knead bread baker for several reasons:
- the wetter dough used in no-knead baking tends to spread quite a bit during proofing and this basket prevents the spreading and produces a better loaf.
- the attractive pattern it creates on the loaf creates more surface area for crust to form.
Very happy with this for baguettes and also the Bread proofing basket round. Size: 7-1/4" diameter. For 1.1 lb. bread. Both perform well for their intended purpose and are washable.
I did end up going to the BakeDeco and ordering the 1.1 lb rectangular bread mold since it is not available on Amazon. It is a better size for us. We still use this one fairly often though since we frequently have the children/grandchildren with us.
This size rectangular basket produces a nice loaf that enables us to have leftover bread that I use to make the fruit puddings in the The Cook's Illustrated How-to-Cook Library: An illustrated step-by-step guide to Foolproof Cooking that was a freebie from Amazon. My hubby enjoys these easy to make puddings ,so this is one of the rare times we want to have leftovers.
These proofing baskets also meet my criteria of multi-functional since they can be used to serve sliced breads ,of course, as well as crackers, chips, cookies, etc. for family get-togethers, potlucks and the like.
BakeDeco is a great seller that always provides quality products and great service!

Lodge Logic Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Spiral Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my eagerly-awaited Dutch oven a couple days ago and made some chili to try it out. It works great, with excellent heat retention... good for browning beef at higher temperatures, and bubbles merrily away even at low heat. Great for anything you want to simmer long and low for the best flavor.
An added bonus - the lid from this Dutch oven also fits the Logic 10-1/4" skillet if required.
To clean, I fill it with hot water, boil a bit to lift the grease, then rinse with hot water and wipe with a paper towel, using a bit of nylon mesh from an onion bag for any stubborn bits, then dry and re-oil.
A couple notes:
If you receive a Logic Dutch oven and find a couple gobs of sticky, brown, almost rust-colored stuff on the handle flange, it is likely NOT rust. Because of the shape of this pot, the pre-seasoning process sometimes leaves a bit of extra, thickened oil in this location. If this is the case, it can be easily rubbed off with a fingertip, much like rubber cement.
The pre-seasoning is very effective, but the inside of the lid, well-designed to keep moisture inside the pot, is a vulnerable spot. Depending on what you cook, the inside of the lid will likely require additional seasoning; I only oiled the cooking surfaces and the first use (no tomato, but enough water to simmer the chili) removed much of the seasoning between the self-basting points. No rust, so it was a simple matter of wiping the inside surface of the lid with peanut oil and putting it in a 450 degree (F) oven a couple times. I'd suggest doing this to the lid before use, and any time the seasoning in this location appears to be thinning. I did not lower my rating for this, as its simply the nature of the beast, not a design or manufacturing flaw.

The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box.
At 12 inches in diameter and 4-3/4 inches deep, this 7-quart Dutch oven holds a heap of chili, chicken and rice, or fruit cobbler. This model is not the campfire style, with legs, wire handle, and a lid for coals. This one is flat-bottomed to sit on a stovetop burner or in the oven, with a domed lid that sends moisture back into the pot. It features a traditional wire ball handle that's been popular for over a century. While the Dutch oven comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After the meal is done, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately. Lodge covers the sturdy oven with a lifetime limited warranty against defects, and when cared for properly, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations.

Bread proofing basket round. Size: 7-1/4" diameter. For 1.1 lb. bread Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I chose this type of proofing basket over the bamboo type that can only be wiped off with a damp cloth. I was concerned about the potential of dough traces drawing unwanted critters.
This proofing basket along with the Rectangular Proofing Basket 5-1/8" x 13-3/4" Orange Polypropylene are really good for leaving a nifty pattern on your dough and giving your bread a uniform shape. I do wish that BakeDeco would offer the 1.1 rectangular at Amazon. I had to order it from their website.
Besides creating a beautiful loaf it prevents the dough from spreading during proofing which creates a higher rounder load. Spreading during proofing is a problem for the wetter no-knead bread doughs. The design pattern is not just for looks-it creates more surface area for a crust to form.
Just flour the bread form and place the dough in the form for proofing then invert onto a floured peel, slash the top of the dough then slide into the oven onto your baking stone.
I also like to use these for serving sliced breads, chips, cookies ,crackers, etc. when having family /friends for get-togethers. They work well for my casual dining style and look attractive.
They wash and store easily. Another big plus.

(More customer reviews)Love this! We have lots of campfires, so we're always looking for gadgets to use around the campfire. It worked well using Pillsbury breadsticks. Make sure you pinch the end closed so that you can fill it. So many possibilities for fillers. Doesn't take long to cook.

Makes quick & easy bread pockets over the campfire with the bread & biscuit stick.Using refrigerated dough or crescent roll dough you simply snake the dough around the end and toast over the fire until cooked.When the bread is removed, there will be a cavity left which you can fill up with jam, preserves, honey etc...21" wood handle, 38" overall length. Aluminum cooking head, chrome plated shaft.Made by Rome Industries - a family camping specialty company that has been making the Original Pie Iron sandwich cooker since 1964.
