A better proofing basket, handmade in Calgary, AB. Our 8-inch round and oval proofing baskets are handmade in Canada from 100% natural unbleached cotton rope. No synthetic fillers. No shortcuts. Each basket is individually made, which means slight variations in pattern and texture that are a feature, not a flaw. Perfect for loaves between 500 and 1000 grams. What makes them different Most proofing baskets are made overseas from rattan or synthetic materials. Ours are handmade right here, from North American-sourced unbleached cotton rope. Natural cotton holds flour beautifully, releases dough cleanly, and develops the classic spiral pattern on your loaf that every home baker is chasing. Easy care Use a liner to keep things simple, or dust generously with flour before each use. After baking, give the basket a firm shake to remove excess flour and let it air out. No need to wash after every use. For occasional cleaning, hand wash in warm soapy water and air dry completely before storing.
