Ingredients so I’m following the sub rules:
– nails or staples
– new banneton, deceptively innocuous
– the palm of my hand
Process:
Clean and prep new banneton for use because idk where this thing has been and I don’t want booger dust on my bread
Brush it
Flip over, smack bottom of basket really hard
Cuss and bleed.

Your description made me LOL, but I am sorry about your hand!!
Please document quantity of blood.
That looks like the quality of some can baskets I got from Amazon, bad stapling/nails and unevenly assembled. Very variable in quality. Aside from your blood inducing experience, they are baskets suited only for use with a liner.
I am soon getting some cotton rope baskets one of my kids ordered for me. Hoping they might be more reliable than the quality of the cane baskets.
Best of luck on healing. Also report the product injury to the manufacturer, and wherever you bought the baskets.
Judging by social media, 90% of all bannetons are made in the same factory in China.
I have the same one and have done the same thing. I inspected my others and found a couple more I had to snip off with wire cutters.
Bread is a staple food in many western countries
That’ll do it.
Tetanus shot…..
I appreciate the commitment to the rules of the sub in the description
They’re a bit more spendy but I really like the “bulka” wood pulp banneton. So sorry it drew blood!
Sourdough requires a blood sacrifice
Watch out for cenobites
What’s the baker’s percentage on the blood?
Blood offering, nice!
