I put in my oven to keep it warm last night, and forgot it was in there when I went to make oatmeal muffins this morning... I half cooked it!! I was so disappointed! :( But, it was just flour and water, so I started a new batch right away. No harm, no foul, I guess, just a temporary setback. :) Another thing to watch out for with the oven method… make sure to always check your oven before turning it on!!

As for the container, lots of people also use a crock or even just a non-reactive (glass or ceramic) bowl with a plate or towel overtop. :) Katie Roxsie,

Any way i decided to take the lunge and start a sourdough starter as i just love making home made bread- buuut i havent been using anything that comes in a glass jar so concequently I dont have any to use! Can you suggest something else or should I just suck it up and go and buy a glass jar? Also I have been trawling the web to find a recipe to replicate some Rye rolls I had once that were crusty and sweet and moist and blackest of black I have ever seen bread. I was wondering if you have seen anything in any of your research that might replicate this, as far as I can tell you need a rye sourdough starter and to soak the rye flour but I cant find a recipe anywhere. I am dying for the recipe because some black rye rolls slathered in butter would be just divine with the batch of amazing home made stock (your intructions) that I just made. Thanks Roxsie Hi Katie,

Kind of cheated with the free Carl Griffith Oregon Trail starter from the web, and used just a little bit, which is fortunate, because now I can recover. My sourdeough starter got confused by my recent neglect when we had a death in the family, and was invaded by a nasty mold. I am rather extremely allergic to molds and mildew, so had to chuck it. I will be starting over again this week. Nonetheless, I've had wonderful results in making sourdough wholewheat bread and pancakes, and am most anxious to get it going again! Thank you for the inspiration! Hi, Katie – love your blog, I’ve been making my own greek yogurt and also whole wheat sourdough for a couple of years now.
