A fold-flat proofing box that holds dough at a steady warm temperature, even in a cold winter kitchen.

See current price on Amazon

Why it fits Lumi’s kitchen

  • It holds dough at a set temperature, so rise times stop depending on the weather.
  • It folds flat for storage when it is not in use, per the manufacturer.
  • It also has a slow-cooker mode, so it earns its shelf space outside baking season.

“A Maine kitchen in January is no friend to a sourdough starter. A box that holds one steady temperature takes the guessing out of the rise.” — a note from Lumi’s world, not a product test.
