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!

(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.
