I was pleasantly surprised by this sourdough starter warmer plate! While it is small (hot plate is only large enough for a mason jar or something of similar size), it has a lot of power and heats up quickly. Although I use a larger jar for my starter, it’d be no problem to transfer to something smaller for this. I keep my house a bit cold year round, so fermentation can be sluggish for me, this helps!Keep in mind that this is a hot PLATE, as in it will only heat the bottom of your starter. I’d suggest some sort of dome or large glass cup over it to help with ambient temperature a bit.I’ve seen some criticisms of this device claiming it is “dollar store” quality, but I disagree. While it is lightweight and made of plastic, it doesn’t seem flimsy at all like others have claimed. I’m sure you could break it if you hit it hard enough, but it is totally solid and not fragile.I saw other criticisms claiming it is hard to use, but I also disagree with that. Within seconds I was able to plug it in, power it on, and it started heating up! It heats up very fast! I played with the heat and timer functions and everything seemed to work as one would expect it to, and it comes with an instruction booklet as well.Overall, I think this is a solid device that could be helpful for anyone making sourdough in a cold kitchen. While the material is a little cheaper than one would expect for the price point, the function makes up for it, in my opinion. It heats up fast, has multiple temperature settings that you can adjust by 1 degree, and a fermentation timer to set how long you want it to maintain heat for. I thought it was easy to use. Nice product!

I opened the box today and was impressed by how straightforward the setup was. There are only a few buttons—power, temperature up/down, and a timer—but they are clearly labeled and intuitive to use. I was able to quickly set both my desired temperature and the amount of time I wanted it maintained.It began heating almost immediately and held the selected temperature with impressive stability. The warming plate is small—just the right size for a mason jar or mug—which makes it ideal for sourdough starter, yogurt culture, or other small fermentation batches where precise temperature control is critical.It also includes a clear, helpful instruction booklet that answers any setup or usage questions that might come up—although I didn’t run into any myself, it’s a nice touch and often lacking in products like this.While it’s not a multi-use appliance, it performs its specific function very well and is a great addition for any serious home baker or fermentation enthusiast.

I’ve been using this to maintain my sourdough starter, and it’s made a big difference in consistency. Instead of leaving the jar out on the counter and hoping for the best, I now have a controlled environment that keeps the temperature just right—especially during colder mornings.It fits my starter jar nicely, and I love that I can set a specific temp. My starter has been more active and predictable since I started using this.I took off one star because the display light is pretty bright, and the buttons feel a little flimsy—but overall, it does the job well and has become part of my daily baking routine.Highly recommend for any home baker looking to level up their sourdough game!

I think this is a good concept but bad execution. I am very confused on what I actually need to set the temperature to achieve the desired results. I thought I had it set right but my starter didn’t rise at all.. had it on the warmer for darn near 12hrs with no rise at all. I adjusted temp several times and nothing. Let my starter take a break, fed it and let it sit out in the counter and it almost started instantly rising. My guess is the temp was too high or just too inconsistent

This sourdough warmer is perfect for small spaces. There are a few times a year my sourdough starter needs a little extra warmth and this is perfect. The only reason to keep the instructions is for the temperature guide. If you can memorize those numbers you may not need to keep them around. The timer on the warmer can be set for up to 12 hours, which is perfect for overnight in the cooler months. Although it does take some time to get up to temp. It doesn't cook the bottom of my start, so that's a good thing. When not needed, the warmer easily fits into a drawer for out of the way storage. I like it and would recommend.
