One appliance. Endless uses. The proofing box can be used to keep your sourdough starter strong, your bread dough warm and rising, and your kombucha brewing.
A true multi-tasker: It can become a homemade yogurt machine or turn your favourite pot into your favourite slow cooker. Big enough to fit a large mixing bowl, several hand-shaped loaves, 2 gallons of yogurt, or your favourite 7.6L pot, yet easily folds flat (with rack and water tray stowed inside) for convenient and compact storage in a kitchen drawer.
Create a second level 10cm higher in the Proofer with the Accessory Shelf. Ideal for proofing two sheet pans or four loaf pans.
The Folding Proofer offers home cooks the benefits of a commercial kitchen tool – accurate temperature and predictable results – in an elegant appliance that folds for storage. The temperature and humidity control is perfect for rising and fermenting yeast bread dough or sourdough. In slow cooker mode, enjoy delicious one-pot meals using your own favourite Dutch oven or pot. Great for making yogurt, sous vide, tempering chocolate, and a wide variety of probiotic superfoods including soft cheeses, cultured butter, kombucha, tempeh, and kefir.

The folding proofer, was a novel home-made gift from Brod & Taylor’s founder, Michael Taylor, to his elderly mother-in-law. She needed a reliable way to rise bread in her small – often cold – South Dakota kitchen. Requests from other bakers soon followed. So began his quest to develop a proofer that could be built for everyone. And of course, it had to fold for easy storage. A seemingly endless process of designs, prototypes and tests finally led to the first Folding Proofers hitting the market in 2012.
