Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run my Proofer for more than a few hours at a time?

Yes, the Proofer is engineered to run continuously. It uses very little electricity, only about 30 watts on average when set to 75 °F / 24 °C.

Is there one temperature that works well for rising all types of bread?

The most common temperature for rising bread is 80 °F / 27 °C. This is a temperature that can work for nearly any type of bread, from sweet rolls to sourdough and even rye. Don’t hesitate to use a warmer setting of 86 °F / 30 °C if you are in a hurry, but for many recipes 80 °F / 27 °C represents a nice balance between a slower, more fl avorproducing speed and a faster, more convenient speed.

Why shouldn’t I put yogurt jars directly over the center of the Proofer?

The Proofer’s heat source is more concentrated in the center so that there will be enough warmth under the water tray to create humidity when rising bread. The higher temperature range is designed to work well for making yogurt and cheese. For yogurt making, a jar placed directly in the center may rise in temperature as high as 120 °F / 49 °C, which could begin to damage some of the more delicate yogurt cultures. The Proofer can easily hold eight 1 quart or liter jars which are 8” / 20cm high of yogurt without the need to place a jar directly in the center. For these processes, the lids need to be on jars to prevent evaporation, heat loss, and contamination from the environment.

Does the Proofer have a thermostat? Yes, there is a thermostat located in the base of the Proofer.

The heating element cycles on and off according to the temperature of the aluminum plate. This cycling on and off occurs within a very narrow range, making the Proofer very consistent and reliable at maintaining a steady temperature.

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. Objects in the Proofer are warmed both by the air inside, and directly from the heating plate (infrared radiative heating). At lower temperatures (70-95 °F / 21-35 °C) the Proofer is calibrated with open containers and using the water tray (Humid). At higher temperatures, closed containers are used without the water tray (Dry). These calibrations match the most common Proofer applications. If used in other ways, small adjustments in setpoint temperature may be required for best results.

Will the Proofer work in any environment?

Yes, however, if the ambient temperature of the room where the Proofer is located is quite cool (lower than 60 °F / 15 °C) or very warm (above 77 °F / 25 °C), then the temperature setting may need to be adjusted a few degrees higher or lower to achieve the desired result. Page 13 English

I put bread dough in my Proofer and it doesn’t feel warm. Is it working properly?

If your Proofer was set to a cooler temp 75 °F / 24 °C it may not feel very warm even when working properly. To test operation check for a warm feel when you quickly touch the center of the aluminum base plate. WARNING: Do not touch the heating plate when temperature setting is above 95 °F / 35 °C.

    Never seems to fail my dough ever. Bought this to help prove my home made bread and haven’t looked back since. Thank you, i’m very happy with it.

  2. Kate

    Best. purchase. ever. I don’t have any good places to prove my dough so this is a lifesaver. Folds away neatly so it doesn’t take up much room when not in use. Definitely recommending this to all my baker friends.

  3. Joe

    State of the art bread proofer. Definitely helps me develop flavour and consistent bread.
