Is there a specific one you can recommend? Looks like the baskets you use are different than the ones you have linked for all your videos I have seen so far. Curious which ones you use.

I love your site, recipe and book! I’m looking at the Rackmaster 2020 and spoke to the sales rep there. He was unsure how many loaves fit on a shelf. I tapes off the shelf size and I think 6 can fit, do you agree? Also he recommended spritzing the oven interior as opposed to buying the steamers (though I dont see these as being available on the site as an accessory any more).
Any thoughts you have I would really appreciate (big purchase 🙂 Thank you!

Diane—I don’t. I find I prefer relying on all the other signs: aroma, visuals, consistency, and experience! I have a lot of info on what I look for, here: https://www.theperfectloaf.com/how-do-i-feed-my-sourdough-starter/

Hey, Jonathan! I don’t have one just yet, but it’s something I’m looking into getting here soon. Some bakers in the TPL Community have this one and love it: https://amzn.to/47FFHOi

Those are culinary grade lava rocks and are optional. I talk about that whole process, here:

(not a knife). Manual or electric. Maybe one that can double for slicing salami. Thank you!

@maurizioleo Sorry new to this! In the Handbook that we can buy for $9, the links to the Baker’s Percentages Downloadable Worksheet , none work. Do you know of any other way to get them, I just bought the book this morning.
