Kook Banneton Bread Proofing Set, Artisan Sourdough Bread Making Kit, 9 Inch Handwoven Rattan Baskets and Liners, Metal & Plastic Dough Scrapers, Scoring Lame & Case, 4 Extra Blades, Set of 2, Round

I’ve been using this banneton set for several months now, and I’m honestly impressed with the quality. The baskets are sturdy, beautifully handwoven, and give my sourdough loaves that perfect artisan shape and pattern. The liners are easy to clean, and the dough releases nicely without sticking. I also love that the kit comes with all the useful tools — the dough scrapers, scoring lame, and extra blades make the whole bread-making process so much easier, especially if you bake often. Everything feels well-made and thoughtfully packed. This set made my homemade bread look and feel much more professional. Great for beginners and experienced bakers alike. Definitely worth it if you enjoy baking sourdough at home!

I am very much a beginner baker, but making sourdough from scratch has always been on my bucket list. After getting my starter going I opted for this bread proofing set based on other recommendations. In the photos below, it's only my second loaf. So far, I've enjoyed the bread baking tools. I love the proofing baskets, the tight straw bowl is pretty and functional, and the cloth liners are of good quality. The bread dough doesn't stick at all. My favorite tool is the lame with the little leather cover for safety. All of these items seem built to last, and they'll need to be because this bread was delicious. I plan on making a lot more!

These are the perfect shape and size for sourdough proofing. The dough easily releases from the liners even after proofing for 24 hours. They do not create any weird patterns in the dough. The baskets are well made a sturdy.

I use these for my sourdough and they work great. Very sturdy and durable, make for a good gift or for personal use.

Are they supposed to smell? The bannetons are great in size and functional. The basket covers are easy to remove and wash. But are the rattan bannetons baskets supposed to smell? They have a strong rancid sour odor that I just cannot remove. Everything else is great and easy to use. It is a great set for those of us starting our sourdough bread journey. It would get a 5 star if it was not for that smell.

The baskets are great and worked amazing for my sourdough bread. Highly recommended and hard to beat for the price!

These Kook banneton proofing baskets are a solid choice for sourdough baking. The rattan provides just enough structure during the final proof so dough holds its shape instead of spreading, which makes scoring easier and improves oven spring. The 9-inch size is ideal for standard boules and comfortably handles typical sourdough dough weights. The natural rattan also creates a slightly breathable environment that helps form a dry outer skin on the dough, which translates to better crust and cleaner scoring. The spiral pattern transfers nicely, giving loaves that classic artisan look without extra effort. Many sets also include liners, which are helpful for higher hydration doughs or when you want a smooth finish instead of the ridged pattern. They’re lightweight but sturdy, and the dough releases cleanly when dusted with rice flour. The baskets also dry quickly between uses, which is helpful when baking multiple loaves. If you’re using the full set with included tools, having the scraper and lame together makes the workflow smoother from shaping to scoring. A couple things to note: like most rattan bannetons, they do require proper flouring to prevent sticking, and there may be a light natural rattan smell at first that fades after a few uses. Overall, these are dependable proofing baskets that improve structure, consistency, and presentation. Great for beginners learning shaping and equally useful for experienced bakers wanting repeatable sourdough results.

The bannetons are nicely made, but nothing special. They are neither better nor worse than the ones i already own. Size wise, I'd say they are rather on a smaller side. All measurements are taken from outside. The round basket's diameter on top is 9". The bottom is about 5". The oval basket length is about 8" on the bottom and 9" on the top. Inside numbers will be about 1/2+" smaller. Should be good for proofing of a small bâtard/boule of ~300 grams/3 cups of flour. The oval banneton perfectly fits into Emile Henry Bread Loaf Baker. The covers are made of unbleached cotton or linen, the weave is not too dense.

Hasn’t been used yet but she was so excited and then her stepdad also received one for Christmas. Great quality 2 very happy gifts from Santa.

Everything in this package is well constructed. The metal scraper and plastic bowl scraper are sturdy. The scoring lame came with stainless steel blades and hold up under pressure. I previously ordered a scoring lame from another company. It arrived with flimsy blades that fell apart when I used it. Thanks Kook for making good quality wares.

I had to return it because I asked for it round and they sent me a pack with the oval-shaped banetones. it looked good quality. I will order it again when the return arrives.

It’s a set of good quality items that are all very useful for baking
