Oval Coiled Rattan Proofing Basket
Coiled rattan proofing baskets have been manufactured by Herbert Birnbaum in Germany since 1847. The natural material of the rattan palm absorbs moisture from the dough and regulates the temperature - this ensures an optimal proofing process. Depending on your preference, you can use the rattan proofing basket with or without a lining. Here you can find matching linen proofing basket inserts for the rattan proofing baskets. Alternatively, you can also use a cotton poofing basket lining or use it additionally to cover the proofing basket. Without a cover, the Rattan fermentation basket also is suitable for cold proofing in the fridge. Here you can find the rattan proofing basket in round . With the linen cover it also makes a very nice bread basket avoiding a sea of crumbs.
Weight Guidelines for Rattan Proofing Baskets
The weight information refers to the weight of bread with over 50% rye flour content after baking. For other bread mixtures with a higher proportion of a grain with more volume development, such as wheat and its original forms spelt, einkorn, emmer and kamut, you should choose the next larger form. For dense multigrain breads, the next smaller form should be used.
The weight loss of bread dough during baking is approximately 10-20%, depending on the bread and baking process.

Care instructions
The rattan proofing basket is only suitable for proofing. The bread must not be baked in it under any circumstances!
- I recommend using the rattan proofing baskets with a cover or lining them with a cloth so that you don't have to spray them with release wax.
- Since the rattan proofing basket absorbs water from the bread dough, it must be completely dried after use to prevent mold. To do this, you can place it in the oven with residual heat (but not directly on a hot baking sheet).
- When dry, the rattan proofing baskets can be stacked and stored in a well-ventilated place.
- From time to time you can clean rattan proofing baskets with water, afterwards they need to dry completely.
