Also, my set came with both a metal bench scraper (included in this set) and a plastic flexible dough scraper which is very helpful for getting the dough out of the bowl after bulk-fermentation.
This comes with a razor blade on a stick and I have one of those but never use it. It can be helpful if you want to put pretty patterns on the loaf, but I don't do that.
This kit comes with the stuff I think you actually want, but it doesn't include the glass jar. I used a tupperware for my starter for 4 years. You don't need a specialized glass jar.

If you end up liking the sourdough process then you can get more baskets to do bigger batches.

I use a wide-mouth glass jar to store the starter (bake once a week) and any glass container like measuring cup or a tall mug to feed the starter. I prefer free-form bread or the loaves baked in baking pans, so I don't use any baskets at all. But if I did, I don't think silicone one would be a good choice, as others pointed out. I never used razor blade, just slash with a knife. If you're interested in trying sourdough, just try it without any kits with what you have at home. Brian Lagerstrom has great YT videos about sourdough bread.

After about 2 years, I finally upgraded my Toshitos Nacho jar to something better looking for my starter.
Finally, since I'm already into gardening, I use my heat mat for starting seeds to proof as well, but not required unless your kitchen is in the low 60s like mines.
