The Perfect Fermentation Baking Dish

This was a good find for me. Amazon has a plethora of good baking dishes. They come in all shapes and sizes and the prices vary too. Being frugal and curious to find what else was out there, I stumbled upon this perfect baking dish for natto making.


MIXTUR Oven/Serving Dish (14" x 10")

I found it at IKEA for $6.99. It is a generic baking dish and that is all there is to it, but for $6.99 it is a steal!

One thing I like about glass dishes is that it is non-reactive and plastic wrap sticks to it very well. I had used a plastic container but I always wondered about chemicals fumes coming out of the plastic when exposed to long warm conditions. Also, plastic wrap did not stick to it.

One advantage that I later found about using a glass container was that it retains heat well and also evenly disperses the heat rising from the coil heater which I use to warm up the oven.
