Review on 🔥 Brod & Taylor Foldable Proofer and Slow Cooker by Jana Johnson

Opinions are mixed here on how the temperature control works. I had my apprehensions and doubts, so I bought a probe thermometer and tested it. Test Method: I had a bowl of water that was 90 degrees. The temperature in the kitchen was in the 70s but fluctuated slightly during the test. The probe was placed in water without touching the bowl and the bowl was placed on the grate, then the lid was closed and the thermostat set at 90. When opening the bowl, the temperature of the water dropped to 5 degrees. degrees for several hours. As soon as I covered the bowl with plastic wrap, the temp gradually rose to 90 and stayed there +/- 1 degree each time I checked for a few more hours. Now I'm a believer. It's true that there are no thermal sensors or anything to measure the temperature of the air inside the box, but it does a good job of getting the box's contents to a set temperature when you don't have to worry about cooling. evaporation effects. I'm new to sourdough and got this for this new hobby. So far I have to say the bread comes out a lot better when I rise it in this box - being able to control the temperature allows me to get both a good rise and a sour taste. When I need to rise on the counter, in the oven, or elsewhere, the results are perfectly acceptable, but not as good as when I use them. , water bowl and cable) it is almost impossible to get everything in. It would be nice if it worked a little better. My only other issue is that if some liquid is spilled it can seep under the plastic walls and make it difficult to clean. I was making sourdough and it ran all over my glass and I had to remove the screws to try and clean everything (I never managed to get all the plastic off - there must be glue or something). It was a good experience for me - now I just make sure not to overfill my sourdough jars and we're fine. If I had one more complaint, I would like it to be a little bigger. I know it's all opinion; Some people might wish it were smaller. Even if it were bigger, I would probably get greedy and want it even more. However, I can mount 3 bread pans (I use USA Pan 1 1/4 pound bread pans). Please note that I am not using the optional shelf kit. Not sure if 2 of my bread pans will fit on top of each other and still have room for bread without touching the lid (top shelf) or shelf (bottom shelf). I mean, it might be POSSIBLE, but it would be difficult. I'd love to try it, but $30 seems like a lot of money for a device like this. In any case, I would have liked a little more room so I could squeeze in a fourth one as I usually bake 4 loaves at a time.
