I give my Brod & Taylor credit for my beginners luck in baking- that and the KAF bakers hotline. ;) I bought the proofer about a year ago and I use it every time I bake bread and I consistently get good results. I have a built in warming drawer in my kitchen with humidity control but sadly no thermostat. I just don't trust it completely and I fear it gets too warm. Also I hate that I have to open the drawer (which changes the temperature and humidity) to check on the dough. I still use my warming drawer when the Brod&Taylor is full, but the B&T gives me more consistent results and is much less nerve wracking to use because you can check the dough just by looking in the window. As crazy as it sounds, I even enjoy taking it out and building it and then later breaking it down and putting it away because the design is so well thought out. Like others my only compliant is the size. It would be nice if they sold flat edged sheets that could be lined with parchment and then one could easily slide the dough to the bakeware since the bakeware often doesn't fit in the proofer. I am glad they designed an extra shelf though. I can't wait to get the new rack for additional space which I plan to buy with my next order. I highly recommend a Brod & Taylor for anyone who is on the fence.
