I’m an occasional home baker but I still keep my starter strong and healthy and feed it regularly and so this is just the perfect size because it fills up nicely, but doesn’t overflow for up to three loaves of starter. The only negative I could even remotely say about it is if I’m only doing a very, very, very small amount of starter the rubbery band will slip off the slightly rounded bottom so I usually have to slide it up a little higher than the actual starter level reading. Again, this is only when I’m keeping a very small amount of starter.
