lockincar Sourdough Starter Kit 52-Piece — 9" Round & 10" Oval Banneton, Glass Starter Jar, Scoring Tools

Everything you need to mix, proof, score and finish bakery-style sourdough loaves at home in one 52-piece kit.

Whether you are beginning your sourdough journey or upgrading your home baking setup, this lockincar sourdough starter kit bundles essential tools for consistent results. The collection pairs two natural rattan banneton proofing baskets with a wide-mouth starter jar, shaping and scoring tools, measuring utensils, cleaning accessories and storage bags so you can move smoothly from feed to oven without hunting down individual pieces. Materials and proportions focus on durability and practical function: glass for fermentation visibility, rattan for moisture control, stainless and silicone for easy maintenance.

How do the banneton baskets improve my loaf’s crust and shape?

The included 9" round and 10" oval bannetons are woven from Indonesian rattan, which helps wick surface moisture away from the dough during final proofing. That drier outer layer promotes a crisper crust and supports distinct spiral or oval proofing marks, common in artisan loaves.

• 9" round and 10" oval sizes for boule and bâtard shapes
• Natural rattan construction for moisture regulation
• Linen liners included to reduce sticking and make turning out easier
• Produces pronounced patterning for attractive presentation

What’s included for maintaining an active sourdough starter?

The 24-ounce wide-mouth glass starter jar lets you watch fermentation activity and measure volume changes while keeping the culture odor-free and easy to clean. A silicone spatula and measurement markings simplify regular feedings, while extra storage bags and a dough-proofing cloth keep ingredients and finished loaves well managed.

• 24-oz clear glass jar with measurement markings
• Silicone spatula for stirring and scraping without scratching glass
• Measuring cups and six measuring spoons for precise hydration
• Storage bags and dough-proofing cloth for neat handling and storage

Which shaping, scoring and baking tools are provided for finishing bread?

The kit supplies a bread lame with five replacement blades and a protective cover to deliver clean scores for controlled oven spring. Additional finishing tools — a stainless steel scraper, bowl scraper, dough whisk and bread sling — streamline mixing, folding and transferring dough to a hot baking surface.

• Bread lame with five blades and protective cover for safe storage
• Stainless scraper and bowl scraper for bench work and cleanup
• Dough whisk for efficient mixing without overworking gluten
• Bread sling and cooling rack for safe transfer and even cooling

How do I care for the kit and its delicate glass and rattan parts?

Glass and woven rattan require simple, specific care to preserve performance. Glass is best washed with neutral soap and rinsed thoroughly (avoid citrus-scented dish soap). Rattan baskets should be brushed clean of flour, air-dried fully, and stored in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew or warping.

• Hand-wash the starter jar; avoid citrus-scented soaps
• Brush bannetons with a stiff brush to remove flour and crumbs
• Dry baskets completely before storing to prevent moisture damage
• Replace blades and covers as needed to maintain safe scoring

Who this kit is for: bakers who want a complete, ready-to-use sourdough setup without sourcing individual parts. It’s an accessible starter package for newcomers who want guidance-ready tools, while experienced home bakers will appreciate the professional touches — rattan bannetons, a wide-mouth fermentation jar, and a full complement of shaping and measuring accessories. Keep in mind the package contains fragile glass; inspect contents upon delivery and contact lockincar for replacements if anything arrives damaged.
