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.

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

Game Changer
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.

Very useful
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

Simple to use and works GREAT!!!
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.

Glad it's been easy to use right out of the gate. Happy baking for both the bread and buns!

Indispensable Product for Bread Baking !!!
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 !

Game Changer
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!
1 reply from Brod & Taylor Customer Service team - 5 months ago
Sydney, happy birthday to you! Sounds like the proofer is already earning its keep with those braided buns and beautiful looking croissants.

I could never bake a good loaf of bread until now. My proofer was the answer to keeping up with the fermentation process.

excellent for making Amasake, Natto and Tempeh
I am a macrobiotic cooking teacher and chef and I am thrilled to have learned about this proofing box as it has been difficult to manage temperatures for making my homemade fermented products. Thank you!

You don't need this, but you'll be SO HAPPY to have it!
I've been baking bread and making yogurt and buttermilk for decades. I have resisted buying a proofing box because I am careful in the duration of my kitchen appliances and gadgets. I figured, my oven with its light is doing a fine job. Why have one more clunky thing to store? Well, I didnt need the proofing box, but I had some birthday funds buying a hole in my pocket so I went for it. I am very happy I did. First if all, the proofer uses less electricity than my oven. Also, you can proof your dough without covering it. No more stuck dough on the reusable shower caps I use for dough covers! This has been a straight up revolutionary appliance for yogurt. No more over or under fermentation. I can set the temp and that's what it stays at. Furthermore, I can ferment the yogurt right in the jars and lids it will stay in. So all and all, you totally can live your life, bake your bread, ferment your milk without this box. But having it is truly wonderful!

So Happy
I waited a long time to order this but finally decided to try it. The first loaf of bread turned out perfect. I have been baking sourdough for two years and never satisfied with my results. This unit was a starting point for perfect bread! Thank you Broad and Taylor. I'm thinking about purchasing the starter home;..hopefully a sale sometime.

Awesome proofing!
I love my B&T proofer! Using the "proofing oven" setting on my Bosch oven for my breads didn't really control the proofing temp & just using the oven light didn't seem a great method either. I use my KA steel bowl with it & it's been working great for both 1st & 2nd proofs. The only thing that would make it better is if the top were hinged when open instead of coming off entirely. I am very happy so far with this purchase.

Karen, it sounds like you've officially upgraded from oven light guesswork to pro-level precision! We're so glad to hear your KA steel bowl fits perfectly and that you're seeing great results in both your first and second fermentations. We also really appreciate your feedback about the lid design - hearing how our bakers interact with the equipment is part of how we develop future iterations!

Game Changer!
I absolutely love this proofer for my sourdough and how easy it is to store away when not in use. Not only has it cut down on proofing time but it also has made it so much easier to actually know how long proofing will take. If you are looking for consistent doughs, look no further!

It IS worth it!
Admittedly the price point is high, but after baking sourdough bread for 2 years, this is a game changer. No longer a victim to the climate in our home, the proofer makes it so much easier for me to plan my day and know how long proofing will take. An incredible bonus is that it neatly folds down into a drawer in my kitchen when it's not in use. It is worth every penny!

Love this proofer
I couldn't bake withou this proofer! My house fluctuates during the year from 70 degrees to 80 degrees. I love the fact that I can slow down or speed up my BF using my proofer.
1 reply from Brod & Taylor Customer Service team - 7 months ago
Susan, it sounds like you've mastered the art of timing! We're dough-lighted that the Proofer gives you the control you need to keep your bulk fermentation on track, no matter what the weather is doing outside. It's the ultimate proof that consistency is key!

Worth the Price!!!
This was an early Christmas present and I absolutely love it! I purchased another proofer last year when I started baking sourdough and it just didn't perform as expected. I didn't want to pay the cost of this proofer at the time but after baking for 9 months and seeing this proofer mentioned several times by the bakers I follow I had to get it. Don't waste your money on lesser products. This proofer will pay for itself after 1 bake. I'm so impressed with how this works and my starter and doughs are performing wonderfully. Don't wait to buy this wonderful product.

Linda, they say the proof is in the puddingor in this case, sourdough bread! We are so glad you decided to treat yourself to an early Christmas gift. It's wonderful to hear that after nine months of searching, you've finally found the consistency and performance you (and your dough) deserve!

Sourdough journey gem!
I hesitated to purchase the proofing box, as I have a warming drawer that I've always used. Wow....just wow! What a game changer this proofing box has been for my breads! They rise higher, lighter, and more consistently! The humidity has been so helpful! I wasn't so sure about the construction of the box, and feared that it wouldn't hold up. So far, l haven't had any issues; it's easy to pop up, easy to fold down, easy to store! I also bought the extra shelf, but haven't used it yet. I have used the slow cooker mode for Chicken Curry, and it stayed hot & worked great! Love this "gadget" for my baking, and am so glad I splurged on it! Worth every delicious loaf of bread I make!!! Don't hesitate like I did....just click the button & buy it!

Jo, wow thank you for the review! We are dough-lighted we could win you over from your warming drawer. It really proves that a little humidity, precise control, and a talented baker can take a loaf to new heights. We're so glad the 'splurge' is paying off in delicious bread and other goodies like the curry!
