There are plenty of makeshift ways to prove bread dough, from balancing it on a radiator to hiding it in a warm airing cupboard – but none are consistent or reliable. The Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer & Slow Cooker takes the guesswork out of bread-making by creating the perfect, gentle environment every time. With its precise temperature control, compact foldable design, and surprising versatility, this clever kitchen companion isn’t just for bakers, but also for fermenters, chocolate makers, and slow-cooking enthusiasts.
For bakers, this is a dream tool. The Folding Proofer allows you to select exactly the right temperature for every stage of bread making, whether that’s a low, slow fermentation for flavour, or a warmer boost for yeast activity on chilly days. The water tray adds humidity to prevent dough from drying out, and the clear viewing window lets you enjoy watching your dough rise without disturbing it. With space to prove two large loaves at once, it’s perfect for families who love fresh, homemade bread.
Beyond bread, the Proofer is a reliable ally for anyone who enjoys fermenting foods or drinks. From yoghurt and kefir to kombucha, crème fraîche, and sour cream, it creates a stable, safe environment for growing cultures. Just remove the water tray, set your jars or containers on the rack, and let the precise thermostat handle the rest. This level of control makes fermenting far more dependable than ad-hoc kitchen methods, so you can consistently achieve professional results.
The versatility of the Brod & Taylor Proofer goes far beyond proving and fermenting. By removing the rack and water tray, it transforms into a slow cooker, producing tender one-pot meals packed with flavour. It’s also a great tool for experimental cooks, working with sous vide-style dishes or even making black garlic. And for chocolate lovers, it takes the stress out of tempering, keeping chocolate at just the right temperature for a smooth, glossy finish. Whether you’re baking, fermenting, or cooking, this appliance brings precision and creativity into your kitchen.
