“My kitchen is too cold for me to make sour dough. The Brod and Taylor Folding proofer sits on the counter top. I have made my starter from scratch and have since made 4 batches of sour dough bread. The bread disappears rather quickly. Great product for the domestic bread baker.”
“If you want to bake bread, this is what you need. I bake bread for several years without a prover and it's sometimes right sometimes not. With this prover the bread is always very nice. I use it too to keep my chocolate warm. Good quality. Good price”
“Bought mine about a year ago and while it's not transformed my sour dough baking is has meant I'm free from babying it with a thermal pen. The unit is built pretty well, suffers a little from being designed to fold away and since it's price rise it certainly doesn't feel like £180 unit but it's good enough. My main gripe has shown during winter. I really like to keep my sour dough at a consistent 25-26c during bulk. Usually in the warmer months this means a setting of 27c on the unit. But when it's very cold in the kitchen it needs to be closer to 31c to hit that 26c range on the dough. This is most likely due to the gap in the in the slats that are there for it to fold. It means a little bit of monitoring still needs to take place. Not the end of the world and something that happens on my friends one also. It's a shame they don't do two models a folder and a more sealed solid version with better lid hinge.
In closing though it's still well worth the price and I'd hate to be without it!”
“Absolutely love my Proofer, simple to use, easy to set up. My bread baking results have definitely improved, along with the time it takes. I haven’t tried yogurt yet, but fully intend to. The ability to vary the temperature means it is definitely multi purpose! And it folds down so well, packs away really well. The package arrived within 48 hours, and I knew when the courier was going to arrive. All in all a great experience.”
“Excellent product, bought it to get more consistent proofing and keep our baking away from our counter surfing dogs. Works well. The ability to pop it in a drawer or cupboard is great.”
“Great addition to bread making, keeps dough at the right temperature, haven’t tried it as a slow cooker. It is easily large enough for a loaf and sour dough starter, but also folds down to be stored away. Small criticism is that the lid is slightly fiddly to get on properly, but otherwise good quality and easy, clear controls”
