Thought a $400 proofing box was a scam, then my bulk ferment sat at 78 degrees all winter in my Toledo kitchen
I fought buying one for 3 years because I figured a towel and a warm oven worked fine, but after dough took 14 hours to double in January I caved, and now I want to know if anyone else thinks a cheap cooler with a seed mat does the same job for half the price.
