About our company
WEkigai is a Family owned and run company based in the Netherlands. It is founded and run by a wife-husband couple, who have background in science and engineering. We aim to use our background to make everyday life a bit easier, healthier and happier for ourselves and hopefully for you. Our name is inspired by the Japanese life philosophy of ikigai which provides a purpose that combines our passion, mission, profession and vocation.
How did you come up with the idea for LoafNest?
We created LoafNest in our endeavor as a family to eat healthy and tasty everyday. We did not want to consume industrially produced bread with additives and preservatives. Artisan breads with trusted ingredients were hard to find and home baking was hit-and-miss for a busy young family.
We loved no-knead method for its simplicity and rich flavors of slow fermented bread. Using our science and engineering thinking, we made it even simpler and reliable. Thus, LoafNest was born to solve our own problem of easy bread making that fits our rhythm. We presented LoafNest to the Kickstarter community in 2018 who helped us launch it commercially. Since 2018, we have brought smiles to thousands to our products like LoafNest bread kit, Panache Griddle Pan and inTune Precision baker.
What makes your products special?
We make products that we want to use ourselves. So we make no compromise on quality, safety, functionality and aesthetics. For example, it was important for silicone that it would stay safe at high temperatures of bread making. We ended up partnering with Sasa Demarle in France (inventors and makers of famous Silpat baking mats) using their experience and quality control for LoafNest liner. Similarly, we went to the best possible quality for LoafNest cast iron dutch oven with a reputed supplier in China who also manufactures for several leading brands in US and Europe. We have kept similar high standards through our journey.

Smaller than expected
I had to laugh when I opened the box because this bread baker is tiny compared to what I imagined I was getting. But it is heavy and well made. I wasn’t sure if it would hold all the dough of my go to sourdough recipe, so for the first time using it, I divided the dough in half and made 2 little loaves. The loaves baked perfectly with a crunchy crust and soft interior. Next time I will try making one big one and see if it all fits. Very happy with my purchase.

Sturdy and beautiful color
This bread pan is very heavy and sturdy with a beautiful blue color! My daughter has made several loaves in it and it cooked perfectly.

Excellent Bread Pan For Geothermal Bread
I visited Iceland recently and fell in love with their rye bread, which they bake by burying it near a hot spring for 12 hours. Not having a hot spring handy, I set my oven to 215 degrees, put a large pot of water in the bottom, and use this heavy-duty closed pan to bake it. The tight lid means it steams perfectly, and the heavy construction means the bread won’t burn while baking for 12 hours. And it’s really, really good!!

Game Changer
This is an amazing bread baker and makes the best crust. I only made the one they suggested with no kneading and it turned out good. Now to adventure and use some of my own recipes using the bread maker and baking it in the nest.

Doesn’t heat evenly.
Used for sourdough, but couldn’t heat evenly, which is supposed to be the strong suit of cast iron. Returned for another brand.

Bought for my wife in December as she had been showing a lot of interest in bread making the past few months. She makes Sour dough and goes to a lot of effort to maintain a stinky little jar in the cupboard but was struggling to get it coocked properly. This product has made such a big difference almost perfect bread everytime, she is even trialing different doughs etc.She hasnt followed the instructions for bread making that it comes with, im sure that would work great too.We bought without the mesh base as one reviewer said they never use it and its a big price difference. I am glad we didnt, break pops out easily every time, if you give it time to cool down it pops right out.Great product, it is expensive but we get great bread 2-3 times a week so worth it.*It is very heavy and awkward to hold and wash, be very careful when handling, always use both hands when handling and oven mitts when removing from oven*
