Brod & Taylor Bread Proofer and Slow Cooker

“I was doubtful at first about the utility of this bread proofer. More often than not I’m looking to cool my dough to prolong the fermentation. Skepticism turned to praise when the Brød & Taylor proofer rescued me on occasions when I needed to speed fermentation to meet a late bread baking request.” Eric

The key to many kitchen processes such as bread-rising, yogurt-making, and creating healthy probiotic foods like sauerkraut and kefir is accurate, reliable low temperature control. Professionals invest thousands of dollars in space-consuming commercial proofing ovens, but until now there has been no comparable product for home kitchens.

The Brød & Taylor Folding Proofer & Slow Cooker offers home cooks something they’ve never had before — complete control, foolproof temperature management, and predictable results. It’s a convenient fold-out box that is easy to use (it will accommodate a full-sized mixing bowl of dough or loaf pans) and is convenient to store out of the way when not in use.

Radiant heat is generated by the aluminum base plate. Optionally, humidity may be increased by using the included water tray. The Proofer is calibrated to maintain the temperature of its contents at the set point, not just the air inside. This is an invaluable baking tool, particularly for those who live in cooler climates.
