I make a lot of sour dough bread and thought this would be a great way to have consistent control of my sour dough starter and the temp of it. What I have found is you have to be very careful of the temp you set the unit at . I set it at the suggested 75 degrees to start and it brought the starter to 86 degrees . I was trying for 80 degrees. I read the directions which there are directions on the box and directions also inside the box. They are slightly different . It seems the unit is set to be in a 60 degree room . So it takes a little time to figure out the math to get the temp you want. Maybe you might be better at this but I was so afraid I was going to deflate or ruin my starter if it got too hot. Also you are suppose to use a temp probe to check the temp which isn’t included but I have a few of those so I did. I really can’t make a firm decision on whether this is any benefit than just using a warm spot to let the starter ferment. BTW the temp sticker on the side of the glass came with the glass container and not with the heat unit.

Very good idea, however, had to raise temp higher than stated. Wish it had a timer for 24 hours. Over all it did it's job.

Got this for making sour dough bread, we're new to the baking our own bread but this is working great for our dough starter. I keep my house cold so the warmer heat plate is a plus for keeping a constant temp.

This warming plate works well, allowing you to apply mild heat to your sourdough starter or even your bread dough (for proofing). But its temperature offset requires some trial-and-error adjustments to get the temperature you need.The instructions tell you that the temperature you select is NOT the actual temperature of the plate. It is their estimate of the temperature of the starter at the midpoint of the jar. Accepting this temperature as accurate requires a great leap of faith. There are a lot of variables, from the shape and thickness and composition of the container to the viscosity and volume of the starter. So you will have to try for yourself and settle on a temperature that works for you.You might be able to get a similar effect from a reptile warming mat or a seed starter mat. But this one looks better in your kitchen. And for the price, it is a reasonable solution to a starter (or batch of dough) in a cool room.

I love this!! It is so easy to use. I use it for warming up my sourdough starter and getting it to rise quicker before making the dough. It's amazing! It used to take most of a day to get it to rise on the counter. Now I just put the jar on the warmer and cover it (I use an old pitcher, but you can buy a special cover if you want). The instructions for setting the temperature seemed a little confusing, but setting it at 78-80 works just fine for me. It doesn't weigh much and is small enough to not take up much room in my cupboard. If you want to keep it on your counter it would look nice there too. The price seems fair to me and I would recommend.

I use this to warm my sourdough starter. The warmer is lightweight and stores easily. I opted for this warmer over a starter home because of the size and ease of storage. I like that I can set the temperature, this makes it easier for me to control the warmth of my starter. Value for the money, in my opinion, for a well produced sourdough starter, is priceless.

I’m giving a 5 star review because of the timely delivery and that this warming plate can handle larger starter jars. It’s very nice looking. I haven’t tried using this product yet, hopefully within the next few days I’ll give it a try.
