The proofer is easy to set up, and has made making homemade yogurt very simple, eliminating the problem of trying to keep my whole oven within the right temperature range. We’ve been enjoying daily homemade smoothies with all sorts of fresh summer fruit. It’s also worked well for bread proofing as well, giving me more control over how long each rise takes. It’s pretty roomy (tall enough to fit a standing mixer bowl) and big enough for a few loaf pans or something like a large bundt pan or large cake pan (for yeast-based breakfast breads for instance.) When folded, it’s quite compact, though for the moment, I think I’ll be using it often enough to leave it out. I got home from my conference and made another batch of yogurt. I’m a fan!
