Kook Proofing Set, Sourdough Bread, 2 Rattan 9 Inch Banneton Baskets, 2 Basket Covers, Metal Scraper, Plastic Scraper, Scoring Lame, 5 Blades and Case, Baking Kit, Dough Bowls, Round Shape

These proofing baskets are lightweight and well constructed. I’ve baked a dozen loaves of bread since I got them. They wash off easily and do their job in proofing my bread before baking. Floured up with dough in them creates a great ring around the tops ofYour loaves of bread!The metal scraper is sturdy and has a great wooden handle on it! It’s sharp too! The plastic one is also very useable and easy to clean as well!The lame is also useful and the fact that it comes with extra blades was a huge plus! It’s a nice little knife and seems to be well constructed!Definitely worth the price and I would recommend!

I recently have gotten into baking sour dough. These were highly recommended by others via Instagram. When baking I always make two loaves since the process is lengthy. These bannetons are easy to use and a great size. The scraping piece is a little more flexible than I’d like when cutting the dough in half, but works great for scraping out your bowl. The scoring knife is easy to use and helps to create great designs. Overall I’d purchase this set again if I find myself needing more!

My adult daughter recently started making Sourdough Bread and this set gave her all she needed to prepare the bread for baking. Covers work great and tools to mark the bread were a plus.

So, I love sourdough, and I've wanted to do it for years. Life, school, and the fact that my mother had tried and failed at it (with me witnessing), a few times ended up with me putting it off. Finally, stuck inside thanks to the great plague (aka Covid) happening right now, I decided it was the perfect time to not have to go buy bread. For a baker trying Sourdough Bread for the first time? This is perfect! I was a little worried at the size of the baskets when I first saw them with my inexperienced eyes, but yeah, they're perfectly sized for making loaves that most sourdough recipes call for.The two Bannetons smelt and looked nice, and they, when floured (I used white rice flour), let the dough come out very easily and nicely with no need for cleaning and with the lovely rings on them. They came with the two banneton covers, even though I honestly only expected one cover to come (the description wasn't clear, so that's good to know!), however I haven't used them yet because the bannetons themselves work just fine.The Bannetons also seem durable, though obviously I haven't been abusing them. I use the extremely useful plastic scraper for getting the dough out of the bowl and onto the counter to start kneading, (Or when it's time to punch it down), and the metal scraper is the perfect strength and durability to use on the counter. The description has said that the plastic scraper is also for getting it out of the banneton, but I haven't needed to use it for that at all (With a well floured banneton, it's never been an issue for me).The lame has worked great so far. I've not yet had to change the blade, even though I've played around with it. It looks easy to replace, and the leather cover is nice. The curved blade is a bit odd to cut straight lines with, but I've never used a lame before, so I dont' know if that's a brand specific thing or what all lame's look like. Either way, the handle is nice and feels good in the hand.It's a great kit, with everything, (except the jar for the starter), that you need to get started on sourdough bread. Are there better quality ones out there? The pieces, individually, I'm sure you can find better quality ones out there. But honestly? They are all good quality, and for a first time sourdough baker who isn't sure exactly what style/feel they prefer quite yet? This kit is perfect and has everything (except the jar.) that they need to get started. My mother ended up buying a different banneton that didn't include everything in this kit, and I think she regrets it. 10/10, would, and have, referred others to this.

It’s a very cool kit with everything you need but the baskets smell and I cannot get the smell out of it.

Love the baskets for bread. I also like the blades and the scrapper. Good for starting out with bread making.

Love this kit. I use it at least weekly since purchasing for baking my sourdough bread and sandwich bread. The quality of the products seems good. The lame blades are sharp and both of the bench scrapers work well! And all for a decent price as well.

It’s a lovely set. I haven’t been able to use it just yet because I just started my sourdough journey but I did buy the starter set from the same brand and I love it! Everything seems to be well made. Great set for beginners like me.

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

Excellent set. Good quality. Rattan is not wobbly or thin. Wooden handles of tools are all firm and solid. Thumbs up.

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.
