Sourdough Starter Kit — 34 oz Glass Jar, Silicone Proofing Baskets & Baking Tools

A sourdough starter kit puts the jar you feed every day and the tools you bake with in one box. This one has a 34 oz wide-mouth glass jar with a thermometer strip and a feeding tracker band, two food-grade silicone proofing baskets, a silicone bread sling and the hand tools for mixing, shaping and scoring a loaf.

What is in the kit

• 34 oz wide-mouth glass jar. Aluminum lid, cloth cover, a stick-on thermometer strip and a tracker band you slide to mark the last feed and the rise.
• Two silicone proofing baskets. Round 9.4 x 3.7 in and oval 9.8 x 6.3 x 3.5 in, with cloth liners. They fold flat, go in the dishwasher and are heat resistant to 446°F.
• Silicone bread sling. Long handles for lowering dough into a hot Dutch oven and lifting the loaf back out.
• Hand tools. Danish dough whisk, stainless steel dough scraper with a wooden handle, flexible bowl scraper, bread lame with spare blades, 11 in silicone spatula, silicone pastry brush and a wooden basket brush.
• For the finished loaf. A cotton drawstring bread bag and a short baking guide.

Questions

Does the kit include a live starter?

No. It has the jar and tools. You make the starter yourself from flour and water, which takes about a week of daily feeding. Our 7-day sourdough starter guide walks through each feed.

What size jar do you need for sourdough starter?

A jar of about a quart gives the starter room to double. This one holds 34 oz and the wide mouth makes stirring and cleaning easy.

Are the proofing baskets rattan?

No. Both baskets are food-grade silicone. They keep the ridged banneton pattern but fold flat and can go in the dishwasher.

How long does sourdough starter last?

Fed regularly, a starter can be kept going for years. In the fridge it needs a feed about once a week.
