As sourdough bakers we cultivate yeasts and bacteria to puff up and flavor our bread. Not every microbe is equally worthy of our care. Some are just dangerous. 

The delightful colors of this limited edition series of silicone starter jar bands highlights a trio of microbes that are best kept on the outside of your starter jar. 

Feed your starter regularly and use clean tools to keep these bad bugs at bay.

Use these bands to mark the height of your starter in the jar, to judge the increase in volume and to help know when your starter is ready for baking.

These three bad bugs also gently remind us to keep a backup of our starter in the fridge or in a dehydrated form in case of trouble.

Colors included:

  • Pink Streaks - inspired by Serratia Marcescens
  • Kahm White - inspired by Kahm Yeast
  • Bread Mold - inspired by Cladosporium, Penicillium and Aspergillus 

Warning: If you see the Pink (or Orange or Red) streaks of Serratia Marcescens, it is time to toss your starter and go to a back up. When in doubt, throw it out!

Available in sizes that fit Pint or Quart sized Sourhouse Starter Jars.

Perfect addition to the Goldie collection.

The new silicone marking bands are great! I love the colors and the meaning behind the colors. Function meets fashion! Now I have several to mark many jars!

Love them

These little gems work perfectly on my jars! So much better than rubber bands. I have a couple of different starters so these colored bands work perfectly so I knowwhich starter I am grabbing. Brilliant!

Love!

I love my new colorful bands that are so easy to use on my GOLDIE jars. I love the fact that I couldn’t tell by the color which type of starter I have in which jar. Brilliant idea!

Awesome

I was waiting for the rings since I bought the Goldie, thinking that we used and we use the rings, and now as soon as I saw the offer, my hand pressed click on buy.
