The traditional rattan proofing baskets are unbeatable in fermenting dough. The natural raw material allows an even fermentation. It saves the warmth of bread dough and absorbs moisture – it thereby regulates fermentation optimally for a nice, even texture and a crispy crust.
Artisan bakers and organic bakeries particularly appreciate rattan proofing basket because they are made from 100% natural materials. They are just as suitable for use in fully automated, industrial bread and bakery production.

How to clean our proofing baskets made of rattan
You can clean all rattan brotforms from Herbert Birnbaum without effort. Mould growth of the flour layer and of the material can be prevented easily this way.
Before first use, spray the inside of the proofing baskets slightly with water. Subsequently, dust the baskets with flour (preferably use 50 % potato starch).
Clean the rattan proofing baskets every 3 to 4 weeks without any water but with a brush or our cleaning machine. Afterwards, put the baskets in the oven at 120–140° C for about 20 minutes with enough vapour. Alternatively, put the Herbert Birnbaum brotforms in the dish washer at 40° C (without any detergents). In this case, no vapour is necessary.
Clean the rattan baskets thoroughly with water approximately every 6 months (according to demand) and dry them in the oven. Refresh the layer of releasing agent only once a year after drying in the oven.
Attention: Dry the proofing baskets after your work, for example on bread racks or in the oven at a temperature of up to 160° C for 5 minutes. You can stack them afterwards without hesitation.
