DoughBed by Sourhouse

Just what I needed!

The doughbed is perfect for home bakers! I love how consistent my dough temperature was throughout the bulk fermentation time. I was told I could just walk away, but I had to check! This works!

Disappointed

I ordered the Dough Bed based on reviews and the brief, and somewhat misleading description provided. While it is a lovely unit, and the glass bowl is large and seems great for mixing and folding dough, I was very disappointed and am returning it. First of all, you must have the correct charging device to connect to the USB cord, because not just any charger will work. You can’t tell if the warming mat is even working unless you have an "infrared thermometer” lying around your house to gauge the mat’s temperature, because you can’t feel the heat coming from the mat. If you’re new to sourdough, this Dough Bed can make the last proofing phase troubling because there are no measurement or marker lines on the glass to give you a starting point. So you may be left wondering/questioning or praying to the sourdough Gods whether it’s time to shape or not. So unless you have the experience and know your dough, this phase could be quite frustrating. The fact that it will ONLY heat UP to 78 degrees means longer proofing time for this sourdough baker. MOSTLY Sourhouse WILL NOT refund you if the unit is used. They charge for shipping the unit to you and YOU and they DO NOT provide shipping labels for returns; which cost me $72 for shipping it back to them. I’m hoping they’ll "accept" my return once it’s "been processed" because I want to buy their starter warmer kit 😋

Wife loves it

I bought it for my wife after she took up baking at the start of the year. She's absolutely in love with it, has cut down proofing time massively and improved consistency. As I bought it I got the message to review but she's telling me it's one of the best things I've got her.
