Product Description
I have been making bread for years. Do I need a Proofer?
Home bakers are often disadvantaged because they lack a well-controlled fermenting and proofing environment. The Proofer allows you to create the best texture and taste in homemade bread with repeatable and consistent results.
Should I cover my bread dough?
Most dough and shaped loaves do not need to be covered while in the Proofer because the water tray will provide ideal humidity to keep the dough from forming a skin. All recipes on the Brod & Taylor website are developed for uncovered dough.
What is the difference between fermenting and proofing?
Fermenting is where the flavors are created and takes much longer than the proofing stage, it begins when yeast (instant or natural air-borne) is introduced to flour and water. Proofing is the final gas production that aerates the dough.
Why isn’t the air temperature inside my Proofer the same as the setting?
The Proofer is calibrated to keep the contents of a jar or bowl at the designated temperature setting, not the air inside. Measuring the air temperature in the proofer with a thermometer will not indicate the temperature of food in a container.
Does the Proofer have a thermostat?
Yes, there is a thermostat located in the base. The heating element cycles on and off according to the temperature of the aluminum plate. This cycling on and off makes the Proofer very accurate and reliable at maintaining steady temperatures.

I had quit making bread as it was always a pain to try to find a warm spot. Problem solved. Love how it folds up when I am in need of a little more counter space. The case works great with it and keeps everything handy.
Can’t wait to play with other bread options. Overall this is a great product. Haven’t tried the slow cooker as yet but the day is coming.
This thing not only cured those problems but offers up a nice moist proofing that has clearly improved the quality of the bread we make. I can now bake on my time, not the breads. Every thing is ready like clock work. Simplified bread making and improved the end product by a substantial margin.
I would not want to make bread without it! Oh BTW it is well worth it to spring for the rack and tote bag.
The Proofer arrived very securely packed. Included were very complete instructions, an offer to register and get three years warranty coverage, and a very nice recipe book. I unpacked the Proofer, read the manual and per the instructions, set it up for bread making, which was so easy I felt like I must have missed something, and we started the bread making process right then and there to see how the Proofer would do.
Let me say that the bread that came out of the oven was the best we'd ever made. All we could say was; WOW! it was a new and very enjoyable experience not to have to cover the bread pans with plastic wrap, and letting the water in the tray provide humidity instead, which is much better for the bread dough.
To be able to look through the window on top of the Proofer to see the dough rising was a new and great experience, which also made it much easier to know when to take it out of the Proofer, and put it in the oven.
Set up, operation, and take down were very very simple and easy. This is a very quality built appliance, and is a must-have for our bread making. The engineering and thought that went into this Proofer is remarkable and commendable, and very much appreciated.
I've read some reviews that mentioned the cost, inferring it was a bit expensive. Our feeling is that it is worth every penny and more. As stated before, this is a fine, high quality appliance and meets the highest standards of quality build, spot-on performance, and operational ease, and great results.
In short; we absolutely love this Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer & Slow Cooker, and are looking forward to trying some of it's other culinary capabilities. Thank you Brod and Taylor for offering such a fine product.
I frankly didn’t expect much, actually figured it would be living at Goodwill within a couple of months, but was worth a try!
It’s Fabulous! Ok, it’s just a little plastic box , but; it’s well made, everything fits nicely and best of all it works!
I’m a baked and was so tired of hunting around the house for a suitable warm place for my bread to rise. I was never sure if the slow rise was due to me having killed the yeast, or the bread not being in a place that was warm and cosy enough.
Now my bread rises reliably and yeast baking is much less fraught. I give this a 10.

Also kam die Gärkiste von Brod and Taylor ins Haus. Ausschlaggebend dafür war unter anderem, dass sie klappbar ist. Wie viele koch- und backbegeisterten Menschen hat auch meine Frau einen beeindruckenden Maschinenpark und viiiiel zu wenig Platz in der Küche. Zwar gibt es auch Wärmeplatten mit Taschenaufbau, aber wir bevorzugen dann doch stabilere Lösungen.
Der Aufbau des Geräts ist sehr einfach. Wer eine Klappkiste aufstellen kann, ist auch in der Lage, die Gärkiste aufzubauen. Neben einer Anleitung liegt auch ein kleines Rezeptheft bei. Neben einem Gitter findet sich auch eine kleine Wanne, um Wasser für feuchte Gärung einfüllen zu können.
Da die Kiste selbst nicht großartig isoliert ist, waren wir erst etwas skeptisch. Die zwei Sauerteige meiner Frau hatten leider schon etwas längere Zeit geruht und mussten dementsprechend erst wieder aufgepäppelt werden. Nach kurzer Experimentierphase hatte meine Frau dann die richtigen Einstellungen gefunden und war absolut begeistert. Nach einiger Zeit hatte sie die Sauerteige dann wieder so weit, dass sie Brot backen konnte, was wiederum mich begeisterte, weil die Ergebnisse deutlich besser waren, als vorher. Wer mit Sauerteig backt weiß, dass das eine Kunst für sich ist, weil man mit etwas Lebendigem zu tun hat. Umso wichtiger ist es, in allen Teilschritten die komplette Kontrolle - gerade über die Temperatur - zu haben. Und das funktioniert mit der Gärkiste hervorragend.
Meine Frau ist glücklich und wenn sie glücklich ist, bin ich auch glücklich. Zumal ich jetzt auch jede Menge noch besseres Brot bekomme :-)
Für Menschen, die sich halbwegs ernsthaft mit dem Backen von Sauerteigbrot befassen, ist dieses Gerät von unserer Seite eine klare Empfehlung
