One of the most useful tools in the sourdough kit. Gets right down to the bottom of the starter jar. It gets a lot of use, and is something I'd gladly buy again when it wears out. Or get's eaten by the starter - sometimes it's a real wrestle with the darn beast hanging on to it, spitting and snarling.
Great jar for sourdough starter. Does what it needs to do, which is, a) be a jar, b) stop your starter from escaping the lab and taking over the world. Good wooden lid for when the creature is napping in the fridge, and a cloth lid for when you Feed the Beast and let it do it's work
Great starter - active and making sourdough very quickly. I've been using Bake With Jack's sourdough starter scrapings method to minimise waste and it works perfectly: https://youtu.be/LddGEfOs-_M?si=grPzxrmwc6WPd37-
Amazing that you can send live critters in a bag in the post. Took the little fellas a day or two to wake up, but now they're munching through milk at a rate I can barely keep up with. The creature production line has rapidly expanded to two jars which produce kefir as fast as we can glug it. Our bowels rejoice.
It's a white plastic wotsit that scrapes dough. Probably the one item in the sourdough kits that I use most. This, along with the banneton, jar and dough spatula are all you need to make sourdough. The rest of the kit is just clutter.
I'd recommend https://www.bakewithjack.co.uk/blog-1/2018/7/5/sourdough-loaf-for-beginners for a super-simple no fuss method.
I purchased the French Sourdough Starter Kit as a gift for my daughter Felicity, and she has absolutely mastered it! The kit was beautifully presented and came with everything she needed to get started. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and within no time she was baking delicious, crusty sourdough loaves that taste amazing.
It’s been such a joy watching her enthusiasm grow and seeing the wonderful results each week. This kit has truly sparked her love for sourdough baking — a perfect gift for anyone wanting to try something new and rewarding. Highly recommend!
