Medium Oval Banneton — 24.5x15x8cm

Why this one costs $15.99

I import these directly from a family workshop in Vietnam that has been coiling rattan for three generations. No middleman, no distributor markup. I sell them from my garage in Kardinya and pack every order myself. That is the whole reason the price is what it is.

What you actually pay

Most Australian sellers charge $24+ and the linen liner is extra. Here is the real comparison on a single basket, shipping included:

Shipping is a flat $15 no matter how many you order, and it is free over $100. Buy one and you save a little. Buy three and you save $16.88.

Specifications

Natural materials, nothing extra

The rattan is untreated — no varnish, no glue on the proofing surface. The liner is linen, not plastic, and machine washable on cold. Both last for years with basic care. No single-use parts.

How I use mine

I dust the liner with rice flour, seam side up, and cold proof overnight in the fridge. The rattan wicks moisture out of the skin so the crust sets properly and the blade opens clean. Without a liner you get the spiral rings on the loaf, which looks great. With the liner you get a smoother surface and far less flour on the bench.

Questions I get asked

Do I need to season it first?
No. Dust it with rice flour before the first use and it works straight away.

How do I clean it?
Do not wash it. Tap out the flour, let it dry completely, store it somewhere with air movement. The liner goes in the machine on cold.

Rice flour or plain flour?
Rice flour. It does not absorb water so it will not turn into paste against the dough.

Do you sell to bakeries and shops?
Yes. If you are a Perth bakery I can offer a you wholesale price. Email me and I will send an invoice with the ABN on it.

Where does it ship from?
I pack and post every order myself from Kardinya in Perth, usually within one business day. If something arrives damaged, you email me and I sort it out. ABN 77 418 951 843.
