Default Re: couche

Kulas,

Nice looking bags, congratulations. A few things about a couche that may help:

1. Flour the fabric well and rub it into the weave with a flat palm. It will perform best after a few uses.

2. Try to find a long (10 inch blade), thin (1 1/2 inch wide), flexible spatula, sometimes called an icing spatula to slide under the loaves and then transfer to the board or peel. Just stick it in a bag of flour each time you use it to coat the blade a bit. I find it helps.

Jim
