Try placing the jar on top of your refrigerator, near a warm oven (not on it), or inside your oven with just the light on.

Always use the protective pouch when handling loose blades.

A sharp blade is one of the highest-impact variables in getting a clean score and a good ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan beginners use this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The UFO shape is actually easier for beginners than a traditional stick lame because the grip is more natural. Start with a single diagonal score on a batard or a simple cross on a boule and build from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this work on high-hydration doughs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, with cold dough. High-hydration doughs (75%+) are stickier and more fragile — scoring them at fridge temperature (straight out of the cold proof) makes a significant difference in how cleanly the blade passes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if my score isn't opening in the oven?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIf your score seals shut instead of opening into an ear, it's usually one of three things: the cut wasn't deep enough (aim for ½ inch), the blade was dull, or the angle was too steep (aim for 30–45°, not 90°). A fresh blade and a lower angle usually solve it immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Scoring Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold Scissors \u0026amp; Twine\u003c\/strong\u003e — add decorative petal or snip scoring to your repertoire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSourdough Stencil\u003c\/strong\u003e — dust a design onto your scored loaf before it goes into the oven\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone Bread Sling\u003c\/strong\u003e — load your scored dough into the Dutch oven safely and cleanly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Made With Loave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45700136141035,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/5510\/9611\/files\/953C7ED9-1033-461B-8D8B-96546961DA53.png?v=1790730351"},{"product_id":"bowl-cover-set","title":"Sourdough Bowl Cover","description":"\u003c!-- Product: Sourdough Bowl Cover | \/products\/bowl-cover-set --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeep Your Dough Protected During Every Stage of the Fermentation Process\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSourdough dough needs to be covered during bulk fermentation, bench rest, and the cold proof — and what you cover it with matters more than most bakers realize.
