Will this whisk work with homemade sourdough bread or would the acidity pit the metal? Also, what size sells the most? Thanks.

Regarding size, I ordered the 14" to help mix sourdough starter, and I can't use it because the large metal loop will not fit into any of my starter containers. It won't fit into a wide mouth mason jar or a receptacle with a slightly larger aperture, either. I'm going to order the 11" and hope that works.

Hello erin,I personally never use any metal ladels/wisks in my sourdough not only for corrosion reasons but otherwise. Wooden spoons work best, better than plastic Ones for they are non- reactive. As for the size, 14" is what I have, though a bit longer for the average grip, it has a better and bigger Wisk than it's smaller counter part which makes it better for tough doughs.CheersAssha J Kalaga

The wire is stainless steel, however even that will pit in an acid environment. I've gotten pitting in my steel pans from wine sauces or vinegar so there's no escaping it. I would be certain to rinse after using and wash promptly. I certaining wouldn't leave it (or any metal material) in an acid environment for long.

I have not made sourdough with it, but I have made pizza dough that uses a poolish which is similar to a starter and have had no problems with pitting. I have the 14 inch whisk.

It should be fine; after all you will be washing the dough off ( I hope.) I bought the bigger size for when I make a big batch of dough (2 loaves.) I think the handle on this one is a bit fat, and I have big hands.

I love my whisk. I don't know how I baked without it. I doubt Sour Dough will harm the stainless steel... Mine seems pretty tough, showing no wear after heavy use. As for size... I have only used the 14" whisk, but I am a 6'1" bread baker. The 11" whisk may work better if you are more petite.

Hello. It will work fine with sourdough. It will not be in contact with the dough long enough for corrosion to occur during mixing. I wash mine after use and it is not a problem. Hope that helps.

I've been baking sourdough for more than 35 years. You can use metal pans to bake sourdough without any problem at all - and you don't even need to line it with parchment if you don't feel like it.

The metal used seems to be aluminum. It really isn't great at making ravioli since the cutting process leaves some of the dough stuck in the "press". I wouldn't recommend it but I have bought another single ravioli cutter that works great. since u roll your dough and place your mix on the rolled dough, you will get a more precise cut. It is also available at Amazon.

I have used it for breads, muffins and cookies. In those instances, the direct substitution worked fine. I'm not sure how it would work for pie crusts or pastries.

Hi Karen. If the bread dough is light, not heavy or stiff, it will do well. If it is chewy and hard you wont be able to mix it or knead it.Regards

I prefer the Victorinox's length when slicing sourdough boules, because you can let the bread sit normally on its flat bottom. The 8" blades are just a tad too short and thus more likely to have either a messy slice or create a hazzard. I have both styles, but my go to one is the longer.,

I agree with David Cowell. The mixing paddle gets stuck in the baked bread, and leaves a good sized hole when you remove it. Also, you do need to open it during the mixing cycle to scrape the sides of the pan to make sure all the flour gets incorporated into the dough. Other than that, it's great. I use it about every other week to make gluten free bread and I get a consistent loaf every time.

I bought a 11" dough mixer. It's hook is a little bit smaller than 3 in (2 3/4 in wide). It depends on how vigorous is your mixing action. It may worth trying.

I'm sure it would work to bake sourdough bread fine, it's worked great for the different loaves I've baked so far.

If your WB type comes with double paddles, you should be able to use this pan with yours. This is great for couples & small families as you can make a savory bread for dinner & a sweet bread for breakfast or share whole small loaves with family or neighbors. I love mine's & use it at least once a week. I've also done a sour dough on one side & a raisin loaf on the other with no mixing of smells. Enjoy your WB breadmaker!

We have been using this to make our wheat bread for as long as i can remember and it works better than the other one we used (cant remember name). We make the dough in our bread maker and cook in bread pan in the oven. We also use it to make white french bread fully in the bread maker and never had a problem. It turns out great.

It does NOT fit on the dough hook. It will snap onto the driver that holds the cookie paddles or wire whisks. I've found I don't really need a scraper when I'm making bread dough. Scraper does work well!

Have not tried it and am not sure how it would work.Gluten formation odds the hallmark of bread making. I would consult King Arthur website.

Im not sure, ive never done sourdough. I just that all my other baking turns out great..cookies, cakes, pie crusts all do well with this flour

I have some USA bread pans, they are excellent. They have a special non stick coating so your bread product does not actually come in contact with metal, it is in contact with the coating.

I'm not sure. I ordered this from Amazon and as yet I have not use it. I was looking for a sourdough starter from an old friend. She has a starter for her bake shop that is 80 years old. I hope to use the pan very soon with other bread recipes. I have and it seems to be the right fit for my breads.

I have the earlier incarnation, also plastic, and still alive and well after a few decades. It works very well for pastry dough- pie crusts and tart shells. Cookie and bread dough- I doubt it. You might very well damage it using it for something that heavy.
