6. 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 accurate 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 To test the temperature of the Proofer fill a Page 8 small metal cup about 250ml or less half full with room temperature water and place on the wire rack in the center of the Proofer Set the Proofer to 29C Wait 60 minutes and then measure the temperature of the water The water temperature should be within 1 2 degrees of the set point Heating in the Proofer takes place by two mechanisms Convective and radiative heating Convective heating occurs when the air in the Proofer is heated by the aluminum plate then rises It passes its heat energy into the object in the Proofer Radiative heating occurs when the heat in the aluminum plate is passed directly to the object in the Proofer without heating the intervening air just as when you feel the intense heat of a fire when you hold out your hand it is much hotter than the surrounding air This is why measurements of the air inside the Proofer will give unreliable readings Will the Proofer work in any enviro

9. p to temperature Ideally frozen dough should be thawed in the refrigerator before proofing e In a hurry Mix the dough with lukewarm 32 38C water and ferment at up to 30C However we do not recommend going over that temperature as the yeast can produce off flavors Covering the Dough Most dough and shaped loaves will not need to be covered while in the Proofer as the water tray will provide the ideal humidity to keep the dough from forming a crust However if using the Proofer for an extended fermentation such as an overnight 12 hours biga or pre ferment it is safest to cover the bowl or container Page 7 FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Can I run my Proofer for more than a few hours at a time Yes the Proofer is durable and may be run continuously It uses very little electricity only about 30 watts per hour when set at 24C Is there one temperature that works well for rising all types of bread The temperature we find ourselves setting over and over again is 27C This is a temperature that can work for nearly any type of bread from sweet rolls to croissants to sourdough and even rye Don t hesitate to use a warmer setting 32 35C if you are in a hurry but for many recipes 27C 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
