Symbiota Sourdough Basket, Lame & Scraper Set
The Symbiota sourdough basket, lame and scraper set is the perfect set to support your sourdough bread making journey from the perfect shaped rise, to beautiful scoring patterns.
Whether you're a seasoned home baker or just beginning, this set ensures beautifully shaped loaves and professional-level results made easier.
🧺 Sourdough Basket (Banneton/Brotform)
The sourdough basket is crafted from natural rattan while lined with a cotton cover. This traditional bread proofing basket allows your bread dough to breathe during its final rise, supporting even fermentation at room temperature. The basket creates a structured environment that helps shape your dough while forming a rustic crust pattern. Just dust the basket with flour or brown rice flour, place in your dough, and let time and warmth work their magic. When ready, simply shake out any excess flour for easy cleanup.
🧽 Dough Scraper
The sourdough scraper is made from durable stainless steel and is perfect for working with your dough. Great for lifting and folding wet dough, cleaning your work surface, or fitting the basket during shaping. Use warm water for easy cleanup and smoother handling.
🔪 Sourdough Lame (Bread Lame)
Included is a premium stainless steel sourdough lame, equipped with both a straight blade and a curved blade. This versatile tool is ideal for scoring your loaf just before baking—allowing you to create custom patterns and direct oven spring. Whether you prefer deep, dramatic slashes or delicate designs, the bread lame gives you complete control over how your loaf opens in the oven. For best results, cool your loaf before scoring your loaf, especially when doing more intricate designs.

Sourdough Proofing Basket, Scraper & Lame
Great and sturdy equipment. Already in use.
No mention of the proofing basket in your Sourdough Bread Recipe, and had to work out what it was and when to use it (you tube).
I did receive a lame tool; however thought it was completely useless. Looking at your website, I now realise that I didn't receive any razor blades with my order.
