FAQ

Questions

The things people ask before a first order, and a few they ask after. If yours is not here, email us and we will answer it and add it.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Orders placed before 2pm Mountain Time on a business day are dispatched the next business day. From there it is three to six business days to the contiguous United States, five to nine to Alaska and Hawaii. Every parcel is tracked and you get the number by email the moment it leaves us.

Is shipping really free?

Yes, on every order, with no minimum. No handling fee, no oversize charge for the cooling rack or the turntable, and nothing added at checkout beyond any sales tax we are required to collect.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Not at the moment. We ship to all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and APO, FPO and DPO addresses. If you order to an address outside the US we will contact you and refund the order in full.

How do I know a tin will fit my recipe?

Every tin on this site states its interior dimensions and its batter capacity in millilitres. Most recipes are written for a specific volume even when they only name a diameter, so compare the capacity rather than the width. If a recipe gives neither, send it to us and we will work it out.

What if I do not like it?

You have 35 days from delivery to send anything back, unused and in its box, for a full refund or an exchange. We email you a prepaid return label, so it costs you nothing, and there is no restocking fee and no need to give a reason.

Can I return a proofing basket?

Only if it has not been floured. Once rattan has flour worked into it there is no way to bring it back to a saleable condition, so please decide on round or oval, and on the size, before you dust it. If one arrives damaged that is a different matter and we replace it from a photograph.

Why should I not wash a banneton?

Because rattan absorbs water and then grows mould from the inside, where you cannot see it. Let it dry completely after every use, then brush the flour out with a stiff dry brush. If it ever smells musty, ten minutes in a 100 C oven will fix it. The linen liner can be machine washed.

Is anything here dishwasher safe?

The stainless items, the silicone and the palette knives are. Nothing with a non stick coating, nothing wooden, nothing marble and nothing copper should ever go in one. Dishwasher detergent is alkaline and it is what strips non stick, dulls anodising and takes the tin lining off copper. The care section on each product page says which is which.

Why are the copper canele moulds so expensive?

Because they are solid copper with a tin lining, and copper is the only material that pulls heat into the batter fast enough to caramelise the outside while the centre stays custard. Silicone and steel cannot do it, which is why canele made in them come out pale and uniform. They are the most expensive thing we sell and they will outlast the oven.

Non stick or anodised aluminium?

Anodised for cakes you want a flat top on, because aluminium conducts faster and the edges do not set before the middle. Non stick for anything shaped, like a madeleine tray or a loaf tin, where release matters more than conduction. Neither should go in a dishwasher.

Do you hold stock or is this drop shipped?

We hold stock in a warehouse in the United States and pack every order ourselves. That is why we can quote next business day dispatch and why the stock number on a product page means something.

Do you take telephone orders?

Yes. Call +1 (307) 393-4976, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Mountain Time, and we will take the order at the same prices with the same free shipping and the same returns policy. We will never ask for your card details by email.
