Proofer Fermenter & Slow Cooker

The fold­able cham­ber cre­ates a gentle and con­sist­ent envir­on­ment, proof­ing or keep­ing food warm with radi­ant heat rising from the alu­mini­um base plate, with the option of a water tray to provide humid­ity of 60 – 80%.

Digit­al tem­per­at­ure con­trols provide proofing/​fermenting set­tings from 21 – 49° C, with a ther­mo­stat sta­bil­ising the heat with­in a few degrees, mak­ing this tool more con­sist­ent than yogurt makers, dehyd­rat­ors, or low set­ting on ovens, and can be used con­tinu­ously if needed for a very low energy/​cost out­put. Slow cook­er mode can keep food cook­ing up to 90° C.

This tool can provide con­trol­lable low-tem­per­at­ure warmth for all sorts of applic­a­tions in three modes: 

• Proof­er Mode – Dry: fer­ment­ing yogurt and oth­er dairy products, tem­per­ing chocol­ate, cul­tur­ing tem­peh or natto.
• Proof­er Mode – Humid: rising or fer­ment­ing yeasted doughs or sour­dough bread without the need for cov­er­ing it, or for fer­ment­ing applic­a­tions that require humid­ity e.g. koji
• Slow Cook­er Mode: tra­di­tion­al slow cook­ing, roas­ted black gar­lic, and sous vide cooking 

Green tools are our gen­er­al-use tools. These have either been demon­strated or explained in your New Mem­ber Induc­tion, or are safe for use after a demon­stra­tion by a tech­ni­cian. Always ask a mem­ber of staff before using any green tools for the first time, or if you are not sure how to use these safely.
