Perfect Space-Saving Alternative to Rattan Bannetons — Performs Just as Well!
I’ve been baking sourdough for 3-4 years, and I’ve got all the rattan bannetons. These collapsible silicone ones caught my eye for space-saving—had to try. Fully expanded, they match my 9" rattan bannetons exactly. Dough sticking? Dust heavy with rice flour (same trick as rattan) and loaves pop out easy.Bonus accessories are a home run: lame, scraper, Danish whisk plus a silicone lid—something most kits don’t include. Perfect for proofing, no plastic wrap needed. These silicones perform just as well as rattan. Highly recommend!

High quality
I love this silicone proofing baskets! The quality is very good and much better than I expected. It comes with a complete sourdough tool set, which is super convenient and perfect for beginners and home bakers. Easy to use and easy to clean definitely worth it! I wish it comes with a heating pad so it could make proofing faster

Pretty good - pros and cons:
I have the set that simply comes with two proofing baskets and 1 lid.Pros: First off, I love that these squash down so that I can tuck them away in my ever-limited kitchen cabinet space. I was interested in trying out the whole "you can rise and bake in the same container" (normally I use a proofer and then transfer to a Dutch oven after the last stretch and fold). I love that I was able to wash these in the dishwasher, although I will say these are also easy to spritz with spray soap and rinse. I took their advice and sprinkled the bowl and the dough with flour and none of the dough stuck. They're lightweight, and the round silicone lid was great even on my big mixing bowl for the first mix and 4 stretch-and-folds - it was nice not having to bust out plastic wrap. I baked my loaf in one of the baskets and it did not impart any weird smell or flavor.Cons: They're not very big so a standard 4 1/2 cup flour sourdough recipe is going to overflow at least the round one (I haven't tried the elongated one yet, but it's small, too). I did my mixing and stretching in a big bowl and then transferred to the round proofing basket (after flouring the bowl and dough) and put the lid on. After 3 hours in warmth, the dough was already up to the lid and sticking. (Thankfully I had the foresight to also flour the top of the dough because I was afraid that might happen. I still had to carefully pick it off as it was trying to stick). The dough was up and overflowing the top of the bowl so I couldn't cover it and it started to dry out. I baked it and could not cover it (same reasons) so I put in trays of boiling water for steam, but it just didn't rise the same bubbly way as when I use a covered Dutch oven, and the top started getting too brown when the food thermometer only read 145F, so I took it out, flipped it and let it cook a few more minutes upside down. Instead of a bolle, I have a flat-bottomed loaf, but at least it looks cool. I think if these came with a top that was rounded and curved to allow room to rise, these would be much better. These are durable, but they are floppy material so it's a little wonky taking in and out of the oven without a slider or tray - just keep that in mind. I think it mostly did its job, but it just wasn't big enough to function properly for a standard sourdough loaf recipe to feed a family. These will work better for smaller recipes. I will, however, use the heck out of this silicone lid on bigger bowls to proof my bread, and in fact I'll use it any time I need to plastic wrap a bowl cover, thus cutting down on waste and cash since I can just use this reusable silicone lid. It's nice and big.You get 2 proofing baskets and the lid for 20 bucks, so I think the other set that comes with a set of tools for 5 dollars more is an even better deal and recommend going with that. Still a cool product.

A Durable, Value-Packed Baking Essential
As a sourdough enthusiast, I’m always on the hunt for tools that elevate my baking game without breaking the bank. The 10" oval and 9" round sourdough baskets with silicone lids have quickly become a standout addition to my kitchen, and here’s why:Durability & Quality MaterialFrom the first use, the sturdiness of these baskets impressed me. Crafted from thick, food-grade, BPA-free plastic (with a reinforced handle for the oval option), they feel far pricier than they are. The non-stick interior is a revelation—my dough released effortlessly, even without flouring, and the surface resists sticking even after multiple uses. Unlike cheaper baskets that flex or warp, these maintain their shape, which is critical for proper dough proofing. The silicone lid is equally well-made; it’s pliable enough to fit snugly over the basket but rigid enough to retain heat and moisture for optimal rising.Thoughtful Design & FunctionalityThe dual-size set is a game-changer. The 10" oval is perfect for shaping long batards or rolls, while the 9" round fits my standard sourdough loaf like a glove. Both baskets and lids are designed to fold neatly, which is a lifesaver for small kitchens—no more cluttering countertops or drawers with bulky tools. Cleaning is a breeze; a quick rinse or wipe with mild soap does the trick, and the non-porous material resists lingering bread odors or stains. I also appreciate the lid’s vented design, which prevents condensation from pooling in the dough while allowing steam to escape.Fantastic Value & Impressive ShippingPriced under $30 for a duo, this set offers exceptional value. I’ve seen similar quality baskets sell individually for this price, so the convenience of getting two versatile tools at once is a steal. The baskets are lightweight yet robust, making them ideal for both casual bakers and more serious hobbyists. On top of that, I received my order in just three days despite a busy holiday shipping window—kudos to the seller’s efficiency and packaging. The set arrived undented and securely padded, which speaks to the brand’s attention to detail.Minor QuibblesWhile I’m thrilled with this purchase, the 4-star rating stems from one small observation: the silicone lid’s flexibility can feel a bit “soft” compared to glass or metal lids. While it doesn’t compromise functionality, it’s not suitable for use in the oven (unlike some ceramic lids). However, for proofing and cooling, this design works flawlessly.Final VerdictThis set is a must-have for anyone serious about sourdough. The combination of durable materials, smart design, and budget-friendly pricing makes it a no-brainer. Whether you’re proofing your first-ever loaf or perfecting a classic recipe, these baskets deliver consistent results and bring peace of mind to your baking routine. I’d happily recommend them to fellow bakers—your bread (and closet space) will thank you!
