I have been using my Brod & Taylor folding proofer for about a Month. I didn't expect it to be one of those tools I couldn't live without, but it is. Now that we are moving into the cool months here in the Midwest, my kitchen is around 63F in the morning. I prepare my dough or preferment the night before and it is perfectly bubbling away at the perfect temperature when I get up. I love the way I can set my temperature for the desired dough temperature on a preferment or dough and keep an eye on it through the clear window on top.
I bake artisan style breads and sourdough all the time. This is quickly becoming a tool I couldn't do without.
My wife likes that it easily folds and is stored in a cabinet within a few easy seconds. She also likes to make yogurt in it with the stable temperature setting at 115F.
Highly recommend this product.

I purchased this about a month ago. I'm long time bread baker and I'm good at it. But even bread won't forgive uneven rising temps, no humidity,etc. It will rise, but not as perfectly as you'd like.
No more rigging the microwave with cups of hot water and all the other things I've used.
This baby works . No need to cover the bread, water in the proofer pan gives the right amount of humidity. Every loaf rises consistently. Everything I've made is either a little bit better or a lot better. It's bigger than you think. I oil the Kitchenaid bowl and plunk it in there. One less thing to clean. Plenty of room for multiple loaves. I have made yoghurt . I like the Greek style. I can get it thick without turning tart in the proofer. I haven't tried it for chocolate yet.
And it folds flat and tucks away nicely. It's really good for getting dough that has been refrigerated up yto temp.
If you love to bake really great bread, sticky buns,cinnamon rolls,you'll wonder how how ever got along without this. Start kissing up to Santa right now !

First off, there are no other "portable proofing ovens". At least not that I can find.
Second, without it I wouldn't be baking bread except at Christmas. We live in a centrally heated home, like the vast majority of people in the industrialized world and there just isn't a place in our house to have 75 to 80 degrees at high humidity. And it seems foolish to raise the house temperature just to raise bread. Sure, heat the oven to 200 and hope it works. Turn on the bathroom heater and hold the bathroom for four hours at 80 degrees and don't forget to keep the humidifier going. And don't forget the eighty quart picnic cooler with the boiling water in the bottom. Sure, these ideas all work. I build furniture as a hobby, I could build a proofing oven. And store it in the attic.
Enter the Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer. I now bake all our bread. When I set up for baking in our kitchen setting up the proofer is just one of the number of parts to my routine. It works just as advertised.
If you want successful, repeatable, baking, buy one. There is a saying among wood workers: "buy a good tool and you cry when you buy it, buy a cheap tool and cry every time you use it". This item is like a good, no, great tool.
Thanks to Brod & Taylor for making my life better.

Breadmaking made easier
It is great and works perfectly, but I wish it was bigger. I would like to be able to put in a tray of bread rolls.

If you bake bread or make yoghurt, you have got to have this!
I make sourdough bread. It is an almost 24 hour process with proofing the starter, proofing the dough, proofing the loaf - you get the picture. Read more

Great Bread Proofer
I've only used this three times now so I won't speak to it's durability, but it does what it's suposed to do well. Be warned the bottom of this throws off a lot of heat. Read more

A must for avid pzza makers!
We have an outdoor wood fired pizza oven and will do many pizzas in one firing. I had a heck of a time in the winter (New England) getting the dough up to temp. Read more

works well, compact
I got this to avoid having my wife warm the entire house to let bread rise well. This product has done the job so far and will probably save its cost in a year or so. Read more

Superb results for sourdough!
I'm a recent initiate into the world of sourdough, but as my house is cold, I often have had trouble getting the starter to be as active as it should be. Read more

Usefull little gadget
Maybe it's not quite worth the price, but it's the only thing like it on the market. You can make yogurt, proof bread, temper chocolate, ferment anything that will fit in there... Read more
