You won’t regret buying this!
Really happy with this set. It had everything I needed to make good sourdough. The bannetons and their covers were very good quality. I loved the bench scraper so much I ended up getting rid of my previous one. It’s sharp for cutting the dough and feels substantial and well made in your hands. I found it comfortable and easy to use when shaping the dough. The lame was so incredibly sharp I barely felt it slicing through the dough. (Be careful when handling this lame because I could definitely see it slicing clean through a finger.) I appreciated that it came with extra blades and a nice leather cover for the blade.I also love the natural/wood look of the whole set. It looks beautiful and well made, and doesn’t detract from the aesthetic of my kitchen when they’re sitting on my counter.

Excellent for First Time Users!
So, I love sourdough, and I've wanted to do it for years. Life, school, and the fact that my mother had tried and failed at it (with me witnessing), a few times ended up with me putting it off. Finally, stuck inside thanks to the great plague (aka Covid) happening right now, I decided it was the perfect time to not have to go buy bread. For a baker trying Sourdough Bread for the first time? This is perfect! I was a little worried at the size of the baskets when I first saw them with my inexperienced eyes, but yeah, they're perfectly sized for making loaves that most sourdough recipes call for.The two Bannetons smelt and looked nice, and they, when floured (I used white rice flour), let the dough come out very easily and nicely with no need for cleaning and with the lovely rings on them. They came with the two banneton covers, even though I honestly only expected one cover to come (the description wasn't clear, so that's good to know!), however I haven't used them yet because the bannetons themselves work just fine.The Bannetons also seem durable, though obviously I haven't been abusing them. I use the extremely useful plastic scraper for getting the dough out of the bowl and onto the counter to start kneading, (Or when it's time to punch it down), and the metal scraper is the perfect strength and durability to use on the counter. The description has said that the plastic scraper is also for getting it out of the banneton, but I haven't needed to use it for that at all (With a well floured banneton, it's never been an issue for me).The lame has worked great so far. I've not yet had to change the blade, even though I've played around with it. It looks easy to replace, and the leather cover is nice. The curved blade is a bit odd to cut straight lines with, but I've never used a lame before, so I dont' know if that's a brand specific thing or what all lame's look like. Either way, the handle is nice and feels good in the hand.It's a great kit, with everything, (except the jar for the starter), that you need to get started on sourdough bread. Are there better quality ones out there? The pieces, individually, I'm sure you can find better quality ones out there. But honestly? They are all good quality, and for a first time sourdough baker who isn't sure exactly what style/feel they prefer quite yet? This kit is perfect and has everything (except the jar.) that they need to get started. My mother ended up buying a different banneton that didn't include everything in this kit, and I think she regrets it. 10/10, would, and have, referred others to this.

Excellent quality for the price!
I bought these for my wife. She’s been making sourdough for a few years and has used several bannetons (some of which were twice the price) and she says these are the best she’s used. Even the scraper included feels quality. Usually the “add-ons” are cheap and break in no time. Overall, very impressed with the quality for the price. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal. Buy them already. Thank me later.

Fair quality for price
The quality of all the products as a whole was fair for the price. The only downside with the scoring knife as the blades are not that sharp, and I ended up going with a different purchase and buying another knife from a different company that I still have yet to replace the blade on And it scores the bread much nicer all the other products in this kit are 10 out of 10 and made the purchase worth it

Useful and functional.
Nice set, will be useful on my breadmaking adventure. I have just recently started making sourdough. My first attempt was fair, but I needed better equipment, so I ordered this set. The banneton baskets and liners were nice and a lot better than my makeshift substitutions I used the first go around. I am happy with this set.

Sourdough must have!
I love these banton baskets! They are better than they look. I am glad I purchased these and it makes my sourdough proofing a breeze. I have no issues with sticking and it is big enough to make a large round loaf if you want or smaller loafs and I love the nice round shape of the baskets and they store nicely. As a bonus hand washing the liner is quick and simple.
