Has anyone used this to hold sourdough starter?

I have not. I use them for flour and sugar. If Anchor Hocking has a website, perhaps they can answer your queston.

Or, as an experiment, you could try using the yeast cube and warm water solution on the sourdough bread setting. That might possibly work, as both would begin from a warm starter.

I haven't, but see no reason for not doing so. Based on the size, I'd use a little over 2lb (1kg) of dough. You'll likely need to increase the baking time a little. That implies you may need to lay some aluminum foil over the top for the last ten minutes or so, to avoid over-browning the crust.Unlike the previous poster, I see no benefit to using the lift-out trivet. The pan is coated and a little oil or shortening should make for easy removal of the loaf.

I use it for bread--and it holds 4 medium size loaves of Rye bread. I have not tried storing onions or potatoes in it but it won't hold but 1 of either one.

I use it to make regular yeast bread and also many misc. kinds of pound cakes etc.I have had no problems at all. Love the size. : )

The slots are standard depth for standard size bread. If you want to toast oversize bread, like sourdough, you will need to reverse the bread to toast both ends of it.

These containers are made of Food Grade Plastic, the ones used in restaurants and bakeries. I have bought different sizes in the past from Smart and Final. They last forever. I bought these large ones for letting my sourdough bread rise. They are a hard plastic, hard to stain. I've used them to freeze things, store my sourdough starter. I think you'll be very happy with them. They're more expensive than some, but well worth the cost.

The slice of sour dough should be okay but it may be a tight fit. You might have to slice off a sliver of the piece of bread.

Mine seems very sturdy.I'm using a shish kabob skewer. Works great for small countries, a bit laborious for China :/

I find them very useful for developing the dough. For the Starter I use something much smaller; like a Peanut Butter or Pickle jar. I imagine if the amount of starter was more than for the use of several people; as in a commercial enterprise this container would work. But, I only make 2 or 3 loaves of bread at a time. Since a sourdough starter takes a longer rise time than commercial yeast, I like to use these containers. Just put them away for a while, sometimes 12 to 24 hours and let mother nature do it's work. Hope that helps.

The EuroCuisine is my choice. It can hold a half gallon of yogurt for straining. The netting/mesh is delicate and I would urge you to wask it immediately after dumping the finished product or you will never get the dried yogurt out of the mesh. Pushing or rubbing it will break it; I know. Also, although they say it cannot be run in the dishwasher, I regularly do so and just don't use a dryer setting. Enjoy!

You don't feed your sourdough? Interesting. I suppose you could leave it running forever, but I wouldn't. At $150 a pop, that's an expensive way to keep your culture going.. try another method. How did they do it before proofers? :)

Yes! I am not sure I would try it on bread dough...but it does not come with dough hooks anyway.

This a pretty big dough hook and it depends on the size of your sourdough starter jar. I used it with a six quart container to make my dough and it is the perfect size for mixing my dough.

yes, as long as the gasket is in place. I keep sourdough starter in mine, and I've never had problems with bacteria or mold.

I have not used it for bread as I have a regular lock&lock; bread container...but I don't know why it wouldn't work!

Yes, I make no-knead and sourdough breads in this pot. 3-4 cup flour recipes work very well. Line the pot with greased parchment paper to make it easier to remove your loaf. 450 F X 25 minutes with the lid, then 8-10 minutes uncovered.
