Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer & Slow Cooker

This is another great Brod and Taylor product! I bought this two years ago, and absolutely love it! it is versatile, easy to use, and is high quality! This device has so many different uses, I am glad I purchased it!

Loving the folding proofer! It made such a difference with bulk fermenting. My kitchen tends to be colder and it felt like my bread was never ready. I’ve been using it for sourdough and yeast breads. 10/10 recommend! And easy to store. I’m newer to baking and this takes out the extra variable of temperature consistency so I can focus on other variables of baking.

Love this product. Maintains dough temp as promised. Haven’t tried for yogurt making yet. Easy to store.

Just right for my more often than weekly bread making, barely too small to do a large loaf or multiple loaves easily but could get different sized pans easily. Not yet tried for yogurt or kombucha or slow cooker, at least 4stars maybe 5stars after I see how long it lasts.

Works great, and allows me to better schedule proofing bread (no more guess work of how long it'll take).

Since I got the proofing box my success rate on avoiding over proofing has increased. I am working toward the day I am consistent with my proofing success. It will be due to the reliability of the proofing box.

My kitchen can range from blazing hot to freezing cold, depending on the time of year. I needed a way to control things a little better so I splurged on this. I set it to 78 degrees and put my bread dough in there. There was plenty of room for my bread bucket, my brotform and my sourdough jar that I was ripening. I also had the extra rack, though I didn't need it. I haven't tried the slow cooker feature yet but look forward to trying that too.

Outstanding product. Easy to use. I have improved my technique and the quality of my bread and pizza baking.

This is my second proofer. It’s an investment in my sourdough journey. I like it so well, I must have a second one. We do not buy store bought bread, I make everything we need from sourdough. I let my starter finish fermenting in this, warm up my bowl, or metal dish before putting sourdough in the dish, it is used for bulk fermentation, etc. It gives me results faster than any other method I’ve ever used. Its accurate temperature means I can trust it, so timing is more exact for BF. Let’s not forget the included water pan!!! Just add a little water to it and you no longer have to cover your sourdough with those shower cap things that are don’t seem to fit!!! This water pan with added water keeps every thing moist!!! Just the right moistness you need. No covering those bowls or baking pans!!!! Cleaning is a breeze. This proofer makes life easier, and I’m all about easier in the kitchen!!! I’d give this 100 stars if I could!!!

Tried the oven with the oven light, warming drawer set to Proof, counter top, et al. Results were erratic. Got a beautiful rise the first time I used the Folding Proofer! Easy to erect, if you give in and use the easy insructions. I like the easy assured temperature control and humidity control via the water pan. Folds up as compactly as possible. My OCD wife did not complain that it was out of place on the counter with my other cooking gadgets. Minor complaint: wish I could just tilt the top back to reach inside instead of having to remove top. Only reason for the 4++ instead of 5. Bottom line: I'm in bread baking heaven! (As my waist line is begining to attest.)

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.
