Banneton...Rattan vs.Cane

Profile picture for user CUISINED

Hi!

I'm about to purchase my first banneton(s) and I would like some guidance to what you guys think is best.

- My local supplier states it's a product of the Vietnamese and that it's Rattan Cane

It does not have the normal found linen but other material that he says it's better..Have you heard of a "Better" Cloth for retaining moisture than linen?

I'ma going to drop quite big load of cash and I've like to be cautious about it, I need your help!

My bread sizes will be about 1kg' of dough, what banneton sizes do you recommend that are proper for round banneton and oval banneton?

Thanks-a-lot! 

?

Here's their site..

For me, his a little cheaper than ordering from Amazon(shipping costs), but if you guys recommend specific place I will order from there, please advice

Any advice...!

http://www.banneton.co.il

 

 

Those are the best prices I have ever seen and looks the best site to me from what you offered guys, most professional looking.

and they seem to have g reat quality but..the do not ship to Israel...:-(

Can you please share, how could I 'score' a good buy with my bannetons? , what should I search for in a basket?

I've seen some baskets with little oval holes throughout the banneton and some without any holes..?

I think I'll purchase from amazon, what do you recommend?

Thanks

Germany - no particular reason, other than a lot of brotformen suppliers are in Germany.  I don't know whether any of these will ship to Israel.

The above are some suppliers that I found with Google.  If Amazon has what you like at a price you accept, order from them.  Don't be afraid to ask at local bakeries where they buy their brotformen/bannetons.  They should be able to give you some tips.  Or see if you can locate a restaurant supply company.  Many of them sell baking-related equipment.

I hope you find what you want.

My inner thoughts are:

Aliexpress I can trust won't f*k me over

They look great and the price with shipping is a joke..

I've sent both sellers a remark that I want the bannetons to be in top shape

or else...:D

Let's see how goes with this purchase.

Amazon was way too expensive for one banneton only never the less few of them

and the Israely seller was expensive and I didnt like his cloth, it wasn't linen so.. sorry him...

I feel good about this purchase. I've bought quite few of them but, yeah..they are great presents too!
