Was worried about reviews saying that the dough sticks. When floured with a rice flour the basket works great and the dough just falls out of the basket. Used several times with no issues.
I'd tried with oiled bowls and with floured tea towel lined bowls unsuccessfully to prove and turn out a sourdough round for baking, but the dough stuck and deflated in my attempts to get it out. The dough comes out easily with these baskets, as long as you copiously flour using a pastry brush and getting it in all the grooves. And the baked loaf looks impressive - ridged and floured and a good texture.
Unfortunately this product sounded perfect, but in reality it just doesn't perform. I've tried using this twice now, and on both occasions it was a failure. Even with the bowl heavily floured I found that when proving dough it expanded into the grooves and spaces and got itself well and truly stuck. Luckily I also bought the more expensive silicone proving bowl at the same time and it's just fantastic.
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear this basket wasn’t suitable for you and we’ve sent you an email to offer a refund. We’re delighted the Lekue silicone bread maker, 18403 is working so well for you.
Simple basket which works well for sourdough bread.
