FAQ (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 flavor-
°
°
producing 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.
