Couche is somewhat ok, but too thin. Cannot recommend it.

Sticking to my policy of trying to begin a review with something positive, I can say these two things. First, the color of the couche is accurately shown in the product information pictures. Second, there’s basic stitching on all 4 edges to help reduce the tendency of the cloth to fray.Now to move on to more important matters. A baker’s couche is supposed to be thick – almost canvas-like in weight – in order to provide support for dough to maintain shape during proofing. This one is quite lightweight – tipping the scale at just over 2 ½ ounces – making it more like a “couche wannabe” than a truly functional couche. While it will provide a bit of support, the fabric is too thin and flimsy to do the real work of keeping the dough shaped and in its place.The 30” by 18” size is too small to be truly useful. If it were stiff enough, it would be able to hold 3 demi-baguettes during proofing. For multiple full-size baguettes, the larger size would be needed. But as I’ve already pointed out, the material used for the couch is too thin, so I’d suggest checking with other sellers.BOTTOM LINE: The Flagood couche lacks the thick, sturdiness that’s required to be truly effective in shaping dough during proofing.

This bakers couche by Flagood is made of the traditional flax linen. The material is thin, maybe a little thinner than professional quality couches are. The linen is unbleached. I have a perforated baguette pan that I loved using when I started my sourdough baguette journey. My pan has lost its non-stick quality and is difficult to clean. I've wanted a couche, and am happy to have this one. The downsides to it are the edging, which I wish was better finished; and the size. Ideally, you want to have enough width so that you can fold the remainder over the top of the baguettes. I should have gotten the largest size. This one will work, but I have to cover with a clean flour sack cloth.After the initial hand-wash and drying, you lightly flour the couche and use it. You don't wash it again after that. Just be sure to let it dry thoroughly before you store it. It becomes the perfect environment for proofing baguettes, by shaping and drying the dough and providing some microbial life. I've used rice flour in a cotton dish towel and that worked great for keeping the dough from sticking. You gently rub the rice flour into the fibers. Periodically, you may need to add more rice flour. It has to be stored in a sealed container to avoid attracting critters.

Purchased this to prepare my Puerto Rican “Pan Sobao” it works great and can easily fit four loafs at a time. As my very small business grows will definitely buy more.
