Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer & Slow Cooker

This has made it so much easier to get my starter and breads to rise despite the outside temperature fluctuations. Helps me to stay on schedule.

it makes bulk fermentation so much easier and faster usually done in about 4 and 1/2 to 5 hours.

Thank you for the product. It worked well, but our bread is still not working properly. It is not rising.

Loving this proofer. I'm still learning, but the consistency of temp is great. I've only used about 4 times. Now that summer weather is here I don't have to worry about where to find a warm spot.

Just started using the folding proofer and already noticed a difference in my new sourdough starter. Wish I bought one at the beginning.

I'm new(er) to sourdough baking and I did not go crazy and buy all kinds of baking tools when I started. I used what I had and only made product purchases when necessary. I did by the fold-up proofer from B&T to help speed up my bulk fermentation process and it has been wonderful to have full control of my dough.I highly recommend buying the proofer.

I can set the temperature up and down and that's very helpful. The only thing that's missing is a cover. I would have liked to have a cover for storage

Great product. A game changer for my baking. Proofing time cut by 2 hours. Worth every penny!

The B & T proofer is easy to operate. Reduced my bulk proofing time in half. At 78F setting the dough is 80F. I wish they would move the plug-in cord to the back instead of the side. I found I needed to cover my bowl with a plastic processing cap to prevent the dough from skimming over. If the room temperature is close to 78F the unit doesn't provide enough humidity. I'm waiting to see if it is tight enough to keep fruit flies out as the season warms up. I'm happy I purchased it so I no longer need to raise the house thermostat to 75F. The latest add showed a new design that also cools which will be great for those not wanting to on their AC. My biggest request is move the cord to the back so the cord doesn't have to hang off the side of my kitchen cart instead of the back. Also wish the lid could be lifted up and lean back against the wall without falling off. Having to find space to sit the lid somewhere while removing the dough in the bowl to do 4 rounds of folds is inconvenient. Overall I recommend this proofer as a time saver and constant temperature. Keep your eye on bulk fermentation because it can double in size in a shorter time then you're use to.

Refurb has no issues for concern! I am new to SD and the loaves I have baked since this arrived are much improved.

My refurbished proofer looks brand new. I used it today for the first time and it worked great. The house was a little chilly, but I didn't have to worry about that since having this appliance. I love how easily it folds and stores and how quickly it sets up. If you bake bread on a regular basis you won't regret making the purchase. I can't wait to try making yogurt!

Temperature variability has been an issue with Bulk and Proofing times that left me chained to the house to produce a great loaf. This proofer is expertly designed and roomy, and that's important. First thing you will notice is the quality build and then how easy it is to set up and fold up for storage. It's a multi-tasking solution. I pull my starter out of the fridge and it warms the starter and increases activity over leaving it on the counter. Plus, it's way faster. Here's an example: Set proofer to 82F, warm starter jar in warm water bath and then place in proofer. Mix whole wheat flour with water to autolyse, and salt/water for bassinage and place in proofer for 1-hour. Mix bread flour with whole wheat and starter from proofer and autolyse in proofer for 1-hour. Bassinage (add salt water) and knead dough. Bulk fermentation in proofer, pre-shape, shape and basket into proofer, bake. Proofer get's the job done and makes the timing predictable. Using the proofer as constant heat source makes this easy. 90% Bread Flour, 10% Whole Wheat, 20% starter, 2% salt and 80% water and same day bake. Excellent taste and lasts a week on the counter if you slice form center and place halves bake together.

We've only had this proofer for a short time, but it works really well and enhances proofing when we are making homemade bread and buns.

Absolutely love it, now have consistent loaves of sourdough 😊

It's always been hard for me to proof in my home because of a very poorly insulated old house that usually runs 50-55F in the winter time, but this was a game changer. Noticed immediate results on my cinnamon rolls. Already consider it worth the price

So far I have only used this for proofing or raising bread; but during the colder months in WV, this item was indispensable. I could set the temperature when the kitchen was cool to cold and trust that my dough would proof in the right amount of time and the raise time in my pans was predictable and awesome. When I began sourdough and fresh milled recipes, this was an item I saw on That Sourdough Gal's FB page. She even had a Giveaway one month that I entered. When I didn't win, I knew I had to splurge and buy it for myself. I've been so pleased with this purchase. It's among my list of "have to" items for successful bread baking !

I love this proofing box. It is easy to use and keeps my dough at the correct temp to speed up fermentation . I have not used the slow cooker function yet but all else works perfectly for my sourdough needs.

I've been eyeing this proofer for years and finally gifted it to myself for my birthday. Great decision! The accurate temperature control is so dependable and takes any stress out of more temperamental recipes (like laminated doughs). So far, I've made sourdough vanilla braided buns and my best batch of croissants ever. Well worth the cost and I can't wait to see what else I can make in it!

I absolutely LOVE THIS Product it cuts the Proofing down drastically..

Works well for proofing sourdough. Only wish is that there was a window in the front of the box so one could see how high the dough has risen. Not easy to tell from above.
