Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer & Slow Cooker

Yes, it functions as a slow cooker and can accommodate pots up to 8 quarts. Because it uses a gentle, consistent heating method, it is particularly effective for recipes that benefit from precise, low-temperature cooking.

The unit is constructed from reinforced polypropylene, which is designed to be both lightweight and durable. The folding mechanism is engineered for frequent use, allowing you to collapse it to just 2.75 inches for easy storage without compromising the structural integrity of the heating chamber.

Not always. The unit features both Humid and Dry Proofer modes. You should use the water tray for humidity-sensitive tasks like proofing bread dough or culturing yogurt, while the dry mode is ideal for tasks like tempering chocolate or slow cooking.

The temperature range is 70–195°F (21–90°C). It is designed specifically for precision, making it reliable for delicate tasks like tempering chocolate, proofing sourdough, or making homemade yogurt, where maintaining a steady, low heat is critical.

Yes, the removable parts, such as the water tray and the rack, are dishwasher safe. The main heating unit itself should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

You can use most standard pots that fit within the 14.75 x 12.5 x 8-inch interior dimensions. For the best results, use a pot with a flat bottom to ensure optimal contact with the heating plate.
