Love my bread sling! So much easier to use than parchment paper.

The sling I bought fulfilled all my expectations. But the friendliness of the staff was amazing!

I Love These bags. They sourdough for at least a week in the bag! They are even fantastic in the freezer. They also wash beautifully. Recommend to all

These bags are great for freezing bread items. These are supposed to be good to keep homemade breads fresh, too, but I’ve only used for freezing breads. Put bread or rolls in bag, zip, squeeze out excess air by rolling bag, and then clip to keep tight. The bags keep my bread from getting freezer burn. I used to double bag rolls in plastic bags, but these bags have eliminated the need for using plastic bags. Eco-friendly, yay! Each bag has a silicone liner that you can pull out and wipe clean, or put entire bag in the washer as needed. These colors work well for me, too, as I put wheat products in the brown/rust colored bag and white breads in the lighter beige bag.

I love these bread bags. I didn't even know I need these. You can store bread in it, and it has a liner which can keep airtight. I also discovered these are the perfect bags to store by baguette loaves in the fridge for my overnight proofing step - my bageutte tray fits inside, I zip it up, and in the fridge it goes. Since it has the non-stick plastic liner, I can simply rinse it out. I can imagine you could also squeeze in a bowl with your fermented sourdough for the overnight proof - and then use the other one to store your finished bread. I really like these.

I bake a lot of sourdough loaves each week. Most are a batard shape, so I was excited to see this large oval shaped bread sling. The others I have seen are smaller so not big enough to fully protect my loaves. I like not having to waste parchment paper even though I do use them as long as possible. In addition, using a silicone sling with handles does make for a safer transfer to the Dutch oven compared to using a sheet of parchment. The other advantage is that the bottom of the loaf didn’t get hard or burnt, as often happens in a Dutch oven. It perfectly fits my 12-inch oval Dutch oven.After you remove the pot from the oven, be aware that the silicone mat will be hot as well so keep your oven gloves on while you remove the sling. Or just simply remove the loaf, to place on a cooling rack and leave the sling in the pan to cool.I like that these slings were shipped in a protective seal. They look and feel like my best silicone cooking mats. A great feature is the wide ends of the handles, creating a more comfortable and secure grip. Thoughtfully included is a band to hold the rolled-up sling, making it easy to store in a drawer. The band is similar to the slap bracelets that all the kids love. I’m going to get a round sling too, as I do occasionally also bake round loaves in a round Dutch oven – often at the same time I am baking an oval loaf.

This bag kept my homemade sourdough soft and fresh for days!!! Even the parts that had been sliced and exposed to air were still as soft as when I first cut in. Well worth the price.

I’ve started baking rustic Italian bread. These are the perfect way to store them. I like that they give you two and that they are something that can be used over and over again.

I enjoy making sourdough bread for friends and family and have been using parchment paper to transfer the dough to my Dutch oven or my clay baker. Doing this with parchment paper must be done with great care not to burn yourself on the preheated bakeware. I decided to order this because of it's large size.Pros:- extra large size- reusable, easy to clean silicone- marked size guide- comes with a snap on band to hold the sling when it is rolled up - it just snaps right around the sling- long handles help to prevent burning yourself on hot bakeware- easy to clean- nonstickCons: I honestly can't think of a single one.

I use 2-4 quart le creuset Dutch ovens to make 2 small sourdough boules. These silicone slings are a little too big for the pot. I don’t want to use my larger Dutch ovens for sourdough bread, because the pots get discoloured from the high temperatures. I also didn’t want to cut the sling to fit properly. I had to return them. They are high quality and would be great for someone that uses a 5 quart or above Dutch oven.

I got this to use before I got a bread box, and it was perfect! I liked how it kept everything air-tight, and water proof, but after a few uses, however, the "zipper" broke so I think the reusable aspect is lacking. It did pop back on, but I no longer trusted it to be airtight so I recycled it.

Quality and convenient!

Where has this been all my life. No more parchment paper which I always felt very wasteful to me.

I wanted to get back into making bread, but the sketchiest part has always been transferring the loaf and parchment paper into my white hot dutch oven while trying not to let the paper rip.I’ve used silicone baking sheets to make cookies before and they’re a lot easier to clean and don’t burn like parchment paper. This silicone bread sling works the same way. Material is thick and sturdy. It’s nice that they made the handles pretty long since I have a deep dutch oven.The only downside to the long handles is that you kindof just have to gently drape them over the bread loaf if you want to put the lid on. Doing this has yet to affect the shape of the loaf while baking, however.Anyone who remembers slap bracelets from the 90s will appreciate the piece included to keep the sling tightly rolled for storage.Honestly I’ll probably end up buying this in the round sling as well.

Used to store homemade bread-no preservatives.
