Culinary school grad APPROVED!
Recently got back into home bread making, so I got this set. It’s been great!! Everything you need is included. I especially love the temperature sticker for the starter jar that goes from black to color based on the room temperature. The feeding band is also fantastic, as it has labels for each day and notches notating the time in three hour increments.The bowl scraper is a bit stiff for my personal preference, but this allows it to double as a bench scraper to cut the dough. The bench scraper that’s included has a handle, making it easy to hold and use. The silicone brush is a bit small, but I love that the whole thing is silicone, rather than a wooden handle. And the long, silicone spatula is a game changer for feedings!!I store all the additional items in the bowl and cover it with the fabric cover (minus the starter jar), so that everything stays together, and I can grab everything when I’m ready to use it.Please note that the shape is for making a boule, not a batard.Lastly, the danish dough whisk— I don’t know how I’ve gone this long without one. I remember using them in culinary school years ago, but never had one for personal use until now. This one is super sturdy and easy to use. The only downside is that it does have a wooden handle. (I personally hand wash all tools with wooden handles and ensure that they’re dried thoroughly, as the spot the wood is attached to the tool is typically a place that harbors bacteria and mold.)All in all, this has been a great purchase and I use it regularly!!—Graduate of The Culinary Institute of America with AOS in Baking and Pastry

Great starter set!
For Christmas, my daughter asked for a Dutch oven and this sourdough starter set so she could start making sourdough bread—and she was absolutely thrilled! She uses the tools almost daily and has really enjoyed working on her sourdough starter. So far, she’s made a loafs of sourdough and bagels, and everything has turned out great. She hasn’t needed to buy anything else, so I’d say this set includes everything you need to get started with sourdough baking. Highly recommend for beginners! Picture doesn’t include all the gadgets, just what I could gather.

awesome starter kit for sourdough
this kit comes with everything you need for sourdough! all the products look super high quality as well! i love the jar, the height and width make it super easy to feed your starter. the spatula is awesome! so much better than a regular wider spatula. i also loved how it came with instructions on how to make the bread and even how to make your own starter. the temperature sticker is super cool and useful, especially if you’re having trouble with your starter rising. it can give you the insight on wether or not it’s because of the temperature. highly recommend this complete kit for anyone who is wanting to start making sourdough like me! all i need now is a dutch oven and im all set!

Be prepared and well equipped and have fun!
I bought because I am switching from making bread with dry yeast to sourdough starter. The starter jar was recommended by a professional. The silicone mat, basket, breathable cover and bread lame were nice extras I wanted to add to my kitchen. The long silicone scraper is wonderful for reaching the bottom of the jar and the sides too. Everyone working with dough will appreciate the silicone brush, dough whisk, dough scraper and bowl scraper if you don't already have them. It is a great value, easy to use and clean. The jar is the star! Two lids: one air tight for the refrigerator and a breathable cloth cover for the counter. The includes measuring lines to monitor the changes in the dough starter, an elastic band record the time you started and the height of the dough. It has a thermometer band that can you determine where best to store your starter.Also, very helpful are the instructions. Don't waste your time with comparing YouTube videos and multiple blogs. The best instructions were in the box! Read them and you enjoy success quickly! Love my starter kit!

Great kit for a starter
This kit is great!There are a lot of small components to store, so keep them all in a place where you won’t lose them.I love the Mason jar for starter in the fridge, and the proofing basket is so nice after forming your loaves!Worth it as a starter kit

Great kit, great price!
Bought this as a gift recommended by a friend who sour doughs. She said it’s everything needed to get started. It came below our Pollyanna spending allowance, so a great price. My sister in law said it was a great set to get started especially since she didn’t need any additional tools. May buy again for myself when I’m ready to start making sour dough.

Perfect little starter set
I’ve just started making sourdough and the set is perfect and provides you everything you need to make a starter and bake your first loaf. Products seem well-made I especially love the mixing spatula. It helps mix the starter easily and also helps scrape down the edges of the jar. I also love the glass jar includes a top for storing discard or a top if you want to use the jar for your starter. Products are easy to clean and the quality so far so good.
