When to choose it

Choose this 10-inch oval basket if you regularly shape an elongated loaf. Compare the length and width of the shaped dough with the floor of your baking vessel. Ten inches alone does not tell you whether the loaf will have room at both ends.

The listing identifies handmade rattan and supplies a cloth liner. Use the liner when you want a cloth surface, or follow the seller’s dusting directions to try the ribbed surface. Compare a round basket if you usually bake in a round pot.
