I bake sourdough at home and this shapes my bread nicely that fits my oval Dutch oven.. love how easy to clean it

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled after the customer service I received and my initial use of this brotform. Starting with the customer service: I went to this company’s website to see if they had the smaller oval brotform in stock there. Unfortunately that was not the case, but I did manage to find an email. I figured I would reach out and see if they knew when the 500 gram oval brotform would be back in stock. They responded rather quickly and said it would be a few weeks. When I refreshed the Amazon product page though, much to my surprise, I was able to place an order. The shipping took longer than the standard 2 day shipping that I’m used to when using Amazon, but I can hardly complain given that I was able to order a previously out of stock product. Next, let’s get to actual usage. I’ve been making sour dough bread for a couple years now. The loaves are just for my wife and myself, so I’m not producing them in large quantities. My preference for my loaves are for them to be made of 100% whole grains, but this can get rather tricky given spelt, rye, einkorn, and even whole wheat flours all typically have less protein than your typical white bread flour. This has resulted in difficult-to-work-with, sticky, wet doughs. After doing a bit of research, I learned that wood pulp brotforms are ideal for these types of doughs. Setting my wicker banneton aside, I decided to finally give this brotform a use. I have to say, I am quite impressed. When using my wicker banneton in the past, I’ve had my frustrations with sticking after crafting the perfect dough. This especially held true upon my first use. Not sure what to expect, I prepared myself for the worst upon first use. After flipping the brotform upside down and waiting for a few seconds, I felt the dough release and let out a sigh of relief. I couldn’t believe it, but the dough did not stick! I’m sure I will be using this brotform for many more loaves and I am quite impressed with how the first loaf went. If you’re on the fence about whether or not wood pulp brotforms actually make a difference, leave your doubts behind. I can say with confidence this product is worth your money.

Good banneton, I like the size and the construction and the fact that it doesn't stick too much. The amount of flour and water is 500gr and 350ml of water and almost fits after proofing so keep that in mind
