Proofer, White, Universal

I'm delighted with this product. Having struggled to make sourdough bread in my cool house for months and months, I've just successfully made my first professional looking soughdough loaf using this proofer! It is very expensive but it did the trick and it folds away after use.

Brod & Taylor Proofer Is a game changer for me and my Sourdough Bread and Pizza, rolls and other items baked with Sourdough. My kitchen is cold so sourdough takes quite a while and now it rises a lot quicker with this Proofer. I absolutely love it. It is made well with good quality materials and best of all it folds away so doesn’t take up much space. In my opinion, well worth the money.

Works as intended although the lid has distorted a little. This occurred when tempering chocolate at the advised 46c for a couple of hours. At this cost is shouldn't happen at all

It is an amazing instrument helping me to start a sour bread starter and rising the dough after it is being mixed. To make a sourdough starter you need to keep the mixture of the flour and water in the constant humid warm temperature for up to 3 days. This genius instrument is exactly what I was looking for! It makes all the proces a joy ride. Have not tried it for anything else yet. The difference in the set temperature and the actual one (in my case*) is about 2-3 degrees in Celsius. So I need to set 2-3 degrees higher to what I require in order to get the correct required temperature inside of the "incubator"... After the dough has been mixed it is a great place to put your future bread to rise. Loving it! Makes my journey of making the sour bread a joyful ride full of pleasure. Genius!

Great proofer! Good size for home use, you can fold it away to store. I wanted a small proofer to make sweet buns and rolls and it does the perfect job. My first attempt went well. After making dough with bread maker, divided into 6 pieces and filled with homemade custard cream, left them in the proofer 30 min at 40 degrees and then put them in the oven for 15 min at 180 degrees. My first item was faulty, but customer service was great and I got replacement soon. Good item and good seller!

I bought it as a birthday present for my husband, and it's great! Super compact and easy to use and store away, does the job for a household like ours!

If you make a lot of bread this is a must. If you just make the odd loaf then the cost may not be worth it. I can’t believe how quickly I can make a sourdough loaf. Because you can control the environment you no longer have to hang around for hours till it proofs. Check out Utube for detailed info. It also folds up into a flat pack for easy storage. Brilliant.

I use a thermometer (I've changed a few) to check the temperature and the is always 2-3 degrees difference, so not fully reliable (on the thermometer the temp is lower than on the proofer). Also, the cord is way too short and I always need an extension to use it comfortably.

The best proofer for all breads, never used it for yogurt. It works so well and stores flat

Utilisé pour faire lever la pâte à pain à la bonne température, il remplit très bien son rôle.

I am very happy with this Proofer for making bread. I have not tried to make yogurt yet. It is very easy to assemble and disassemble when I finish making bread. Simply pop up the wall, put some water into the pan and install the metal rack, turn it on, set the temperature, put the dough into the thing and close the lid. Bread gets a great deal more rise giving better and more consistent loaves. I've used several kinds of dough including yeast and sourdough. Both rise very well and room temp and humidity variation is removed. I have done the initial rise in bowls and second rise in both loaf pans and proofing baskets. Ciabatta, French loaves, Heavy walnut bread with lots of whole wheat and rye flour, several kinds of baguettes, and others made so far and they all get a great rise. All come out very well. A couple changes needed include using a bowl that will fit into the unit. Formerly, I used a very large, wide bowl, that is just too big to fit into the unit. An easy change. I also use the unit for sourdough feeder when I feed it. It rally gets good consistent feed instead of the many variations from ambient temp and humidity depending on weather. Consistency is very important with bread. Clean up is easy. I do make sure to wipe it down well after use as there is moisture inside. I also let it sit out to dry with my proofing baskets for a day just to avoid mildew or other problems. It really stores well folding down into a couple inches high and fits well into a drawer I can store all my baking things. No really extra space needed because of it's low profile when stored. I have yet to attempt yogurt and eventually will try it.

Buon articolo, ma forse un po' troppo costoso per la tipologia di apparecchio e i materiali utilizzati.

And I couldn't find any competitors..... anyway, if you like to cook or bake, you may have use for this proofer. I like to make a sourdough bread that has only 3 ingredients: flour, salt, and starter. The starter is responsible for making the bread rise. Very difficult until I found this proofer! Now I have perfect sourdough bread every time. It comes with a recipe book, which has numerous fantastic recipes. I use their yogurt recipe, also and the result is the creamiest, best textured yogurt ever, regardless of the original starter. My bread proofs for 2-3 hours in each of 2 stages in the proofer. Never could I achieve that without the proofer! I also put the starter itself into the proofer before I start to let it fully come up to temp. I imagine other companies will try to emulate this proofer. Don't know if they can! As far as quality of materials and construction, it is truly fine. I find myself handling it like fine glassware because my hands like to savor the feel of it--you can tell when it's made well. Sorry if that sounds silly, but it's true, even though it is made of plastic (mostly)! The bottom tray however is metal along with the rack. The plastic is different is all I can say. It is thick, white, well engineered and all working parts and connections work smoothly and firmly. It is large enough to fit two full size loaves of bread in bread pans. I put in 14 6 oz. jars for yogurt, and there is room to make a second tier if you want. The book tells it all! Anyway, if you think you might like the nurturing effect that a proofer provides for your cooking and baking, you can count on this Brod and Taylor proofer. I almost never write product reviews, but I can't rave enough about this, my kitchen's best friend. Oh, I forgot to mention that their customer service is personal and efficient. A month or so ago the electronic temp controls went on the blitz. I called them at the number provided and got a friendly young woman (on the second ring) who asked me to unplug/plug to see if it would reset. It did not. She sent me a replacement proofer which arrived a day and a half later! All I had to do was put mine in the box that the new one came in, put the pre-pared label on the outside and UPS picked it up. Could not ask for better service!
