  • Home bakers are often disadvantaged because they lack a well-controlled fermenting and proofing environment. The Proofer allows you to create the best texture and taste in homemade bread with repeatable and consistent results.

  • Most dough and shaped loaves do not need to be covered while in the Proofer because the water tray will provide ideal humidity to keep the dough from forming a skin. All recipes on the Brod & Taylor website are developed for uncovered dough.

  • Fermenting is where the flavors are created and takes much longer than the proofing stage, it begins when yeast (instant or natural air-borne) is introduced to flour and water. Proofing is the final gas production that aerates the dough.

  • The Proofer is calibrated to keep the contents of a jar or bowl at the designated temperature setting, not the air inside. Measuring the air temperature in the proofer with a thermometer will not indicate the temperature of food in a container.

  • Yes, there is a thermostat located in the base. The heating element cycles on and off according to the temperature of the aluminum plate. This cycling on and off makes the Proofer very accurate and reliable at maintaining steady temperatures.

Usually I give 4 stars to a new product when I don't know how long it will hold up. This product is so good that I'm giving it 5 stars right away.Experienced bakers say that temperature shouldn't be an afterthought. I found that they're right — as some of them say, temperature is an actual _ingredient_ in bread-making.I had a lot of trouble with temperature in my kitchen and often ended up with under- or over-fermented dough. As every novice baker learns, failure is just part of the learning process but it can be disheartening. Finally I decided to take the temperature "variable" out of the equation once and for all. I don't regret it.Build quality —Seems good, although the box is lightweight by design, and you have to be careful about how you handle the folding mechanism inside.Portability —The box folds up to a nice compact size, making it easy to store. Thumbs up for this design.Front panel/controls —Couldn't be simpler. You probably won't need the instructions to get started.Accuracy —I assume it's accurate. I could measure the air temperature inside. But there's no point, because as they note in the instructions, the temperature setting on the control panel reflects not the air temperature, but the intended internal temperature of the dough or whatever is inside the box.The temperature maintenance is clearly _consistent_. If I set the box to 75° F. and leave dough to rise in it overnight, I'm confident I'll get the desired results in the morning every time. Since I began using this product, I have not had a seriously under- or over-proofed loaf. (Of course getting it right also involves some judgment calls.)Instructions —Clear and well-written. Considering how lousy so many products' documentation is, thumbs up to B&T for this.The supplied water tray is a nice touch. You don't need to keep the dough covered as long as there's moisture in the air coming from the tray, at least in the first few hours of bulk fermentation. If you're doing a long bulk ferment, it's probably good to cover the bowl after a few hours—eventually the water in the tray will evaporate.Nice job, B&T.

We've been making bread for a long time, and this proofer was a game changer.The Proofer arrived very securely packed. Included were very complete instructions, an offer to register and get three years warranty coverage, and a very nice recipe book. I unpacked the Proofer, read the manual and per the instructions, set it up for bread making, which was so easy I felt like I must have missed something, and we started the bread making process right then and there to see how the Proofer would do.Let me say that the bread that came out of the oven was the best we'd ever made. All we could say was; WOW! it was a new and very enjoyable experience not to have to cover the bread pans with plastic wrap, and letting the water in the tray provide humidity instead, which is much better for the bread dough.To be able to look through the window on top of the Proofer to see the dough rising was a new and great experience, which also made it much easier to know when to take it out of the Proofer, and put it in the oven.Set up, operation, and take down were very very simple and easy. This is a very quality built appliance, and is a must-have for our bread making. The engineering and thought that went into this Proofer is remarkable and commendable, and very much appreciated.I've read some reviews that mentioned the cost, inferring it was a bit expensive. Our feeling is that it is worth every penny and more. As stated before, this is a fine, high quality appliance and meets the highest standards of quality build, spot-on performance, and operational ease, and great results.In short; we absolutely love this Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer & Slow Cooker, and are looking forward to trying some of it's other culinary capabilities. Thank you Brod and Taylor for offering such a fine product.

I was initially skeptical about using this, but the fact is that it made my sourdough baking better. I have a much more lively starter and proofing is working much better. Having a constant temperature is an essential part of the baking process. Even shelf space isn’t a problem as it folds up and stores really easily.I recommend getting this.

I used the Brod & Taylor as Proofer and I like that it can also create humidity so that there is no need to cover when using water tray. I also like that it can be folded back up and placed back in box and then can go back on shelf when not in use.

I make bread twice a week and although it costs more, this has been well worth the money. Offers consistent results when proofing bread. It’s also easy to set up, use, and then folds up for storage. I’m very happy with this!

Trotz der etwas hohen Anschaffungskosten, können wir das Gerät nur empfehlen. Bei Nichtgebrauch kann es platzsparend gelagert werden. Das Gerät ermöglicht eine konstante Temperatur. Durch das Sichtfenster im Deckel, kann man die Prozesse im Inneren verfolgen. Es steht sehr viel Platz im Inneren zur Verfügung, so dass man auch bequem eine Normale Schüssel reinstellen kann.

This is an excellent appliance. I used the Brod Taylor sourdough-house to make my sourdough starter initially and use this proofing oven, set to 23C, to proof my sourdough prior to making bread, pizza and naan bread. I have great starter so proofing only takes about 10 to 12 hours. The proofing oven make the wholes fermentation process fool proof and I use it frequently before baking bread and in between times to ferment kefir. Size is excellent, there's enough room for a large bowl (1kg bread) or three to four rectangular bread baking tins of dough.
