Hey you guys.  Anybody out there need some plastic bannetons / brotforms?  I'm doing all of my bread shaping 'freeform' and haven't used them for a few months so I figured I would clear some space and sell them off.  I'm asking $8 each, plus shipping on top of that.  The number I have of each is in (parenthesis) and I'm selling them first come, first served.  They are all German made, and the shiny green round ones are the vented kind.  They've all been used but are clean and dishwasher safe.  If you're interested, you can post here or email me at the bakery at    
Thanks.

Hey,

I'm looking for bannetons/brotforms in Montreal. I feel like there should be a place that sells them because there's much bread in this city! :)

I've tried Ares, Quincallerie Dante, La Soupière and Les Touilleurs but to no avail.

Any suggestions/leads would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

I discovered this forum when searching the web for a reasonably-priced brotform basket.

Finding none, I read some of the earlier brotform posts and realized that this baking item seems to be universally overpriced.

Decided to take matters into my own hands. It worked!

Grabbed a roll of 7/16" OD x 20' vinyl tubing at Home Depot, $5.55 with tax. I am confident this stuff is food-safe - I have used it for years for brewing beer and it's what moves air and water in millions of fishtanks around the world.

Hi all,

Today I bought a couple of wicker baskets at a thrift store. I want to use them as brotforms/bannetons (one came lined with linen). My question is how to clean them. I don't know "where they've been", and would rather clean them first. Is washing them in warm sudsy water a good idea? Can I remove the linen off one of the baskets and place in the washing machine?

Thanks,

Boaz 

Hello all,

I am about to start final-proofing my dough in my new frotform.....

The directions say I need to treat them first with "Baker's Joy" or a similar "Grease dust" ???What does that mean?

Can I just oil them?

Let me know fassssssssst.....

Thanks all you so much
