Key Features

• 100% Natural Indonesian Rattan: Selected from high-quality, sustainably grown rattan. Unbleached, odor-free, and chemical-free, ensuring food-grade safety and allowing your dough to ferment naturally.

• Master-Level Spiral Texture: The tight, traditional weaving creates the classic ringed imprint on the dough's surface, elevating the visual layers of your bread and giving it an artisanal soul.

• Superior Moisture Control: The micro-porous nature of the rattan wicks away excess moisture from the dough's surface, creating a slightly dry "skin" that is perfect for scoring and results in a crispier crust.

• Breathable Linen Liner Included: The high-quality linen liner prevents high-hydration dough from sticking, keeps the basket clean, and can be used to cover the dough to prevent it from drying out.

• novalorocosh Signature Packaging: Presented in our custom minimalist gift box, making it the ultimate tool for professional bakers or a sophisticated gift for baking enthusiasts.

FAQ

Q1: How should I prepare the basket before the first use?

A: Before first use, lightly mist the inside with water and dry it. Then, dust it generously with flour (rice flour or rye flour is recommended). Tap it gently so the flour fills the rattan grooves; this creates the best non-stick surface.

Q2: How do I clean flour residue from the grooves?

A: After use, simply tap out the excess flour and let it air dry. If there is dough residue, wait for it to dry and then brush it off with a stiff brush. Avoid frequent washing with water to maintain the natural durability of the rattan.

Q3: Why does my basket have a slight woody scent?

A: This is the natural scent of raw rattan, proving the product has not undergone chemical bleaching. Simply leave it in a ventilated area for a day or two, and the scent will fade. It is completely food-safe.

Q4: Is the linen liner mandatory?

A: It depends on your preference. Proofing directly in the rattan basket creates the beautiful spiral texture. Using the liner is ideal for very high-hydration doughs as it makes de-molding easier and results in a smoother crust.
