good price for bannetons
I just noticed the price of bannetons on the link provided on this site as 30.00. I boought mine about 4 or 5 years ago from TMB baking for about half that price (they seem to be quality tools to me, I now have 4, and use them often). I just checked their website and they still are only about 17.00 each.
here is the link:

I know because I drove over there and paid them a visit last week. We made a family outing of it, touring the bakery school, and even got to wander into the warehouse to check out the variety they had on hand. I bought some bannetons, and I also got a very nice pair of heavy oven gauntlets (gloves!) that fit. I have huge hands, and had to try them on to make sure they fit. They did, so no more burn scars on my hands (I have several already). It was a great trip, they were extremely nice and helpful, and made us feel really welcome.

Thanks so much for the link! I tried to do the "cloth-lined colander" trick and much to my dismay the dough stuck terribly. While I want to make the perfect loaf/shape, DH doesn't so much care as long as I don't "play" with the funds too much. At least he gets to eat the fruits of my labor!
Thanks again for a great link!
