Silicone Bread Sling
Silicone Bread Sling
Lift artisan breads straight from oven to cooling rack without a baking stone or Dutch oven—this flexible silicone sling cradles your loaves safely and eliminates the reach-and-grab moment that sends bread flying. Professional baking made accessible.
The details
This innovative bread sling is crafted from food-grade silicone with integrated glass fiber reinforcement, creating a tool that's simultaneously flexible and structurally sound. The sling slides beneath a finished loaf on your peel or sheet pan, then provides secure support as you transfer bread from oven to cooling rack. The flexible design conforms to loaf shape without restricting steam escape, and the heat-safe silicone won't char or off-gas even at 450°F.
The sling measures approximately 16-18 inches in length, providing ample surface area to support loaves ranging from small boules to batards. The reinforced edges remain stable and won't curl or deform under the weight of substantial bread. The non-stick silicone surface won't stick to crust, and the closed ends prevent loaves from slipping during transfer.
The sling eliminates the need for specialized equipment—no more searching for bannetons, parchment paper, or Dutch oven lids for steam. Simply support the loaf and transfer with confidence. Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup, and the durable silicone maintains its structure through hundreds of loaves.
