I have had excellent results with this accessory

I have had excellent results with this accessory. Placing it in an enclosed area like a pantry will give the best results. I have read some of the negative comments so I can understand their complaints. This is a very weak apparatus, causing the inability to maintain a narrow zone of temperature differences. Placing the proofer in line with the forced-ventilation oven/air conditioner results in large fluctuations in internal temperature. The assembly, although quite simple, is fraught with…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I am concerned

The perfect addition to the bakery kitchen!

For so many years I have looked at this product and thought it would be a good addition to my culinary needs. I bake a lot of bread, and although my oven has a proofing mode, when I'm making an appetizer (be it a culture or a biscuit), it often needs to be proofed for up to 12 hours. I don't like the idea of leaving the gas stove on for so long or overnight, even on a low setting. That's the reason I finally decided to buy this one. I'm so glad I did. I've been using it at least once a week…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Contemporary

Works but too expensive for what it is. Will not work with most kombucha jars.

I bought this proofer to bake sourdough bread. I needed a way to control the fermentation temperature. As someone who has used commercial proofers and commercial incubators professionally, I was very surprised at the discrepancy between the (too high) price of this proofer and the (generally poor) quality and durability. This. This proofer is really just a cooker with a thermostat (or maybe even a rheostat) and a lid. It's not airtight/airtight like all the commercial proofers and incubators…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Communication with seller

This gives me such a boost!

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

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • May damage
