This warmer has worked great so far for my sourdough starter. There were some instructions in the box, but you really don't need them, you plug it in and press the power button and it immediately gets to work warming the plate. The size is perfect for the jar that came in my sourdough kit, and is large enough for, say a large mason jar. The warmer itself is pretty with the wood design and black base, and makes an attractive addition to my kitchen counter.By default the warmer is set to 85 degrees, which is the recommended temperature for keeping sourdough starter happy. I had not made sourdough before, so I wasn't sure if the warmer was needed, but I can say it has been chilly here recently and after I fed it and used this warmer my brand new starter was bubbling with life the next day.I have had the warmer on for over 3 days now and according to the thermometer sticker I have on the outside of the jar that contains my starter it has kept the temperature of the starter to the 85 degrees that it is supposed to.Overall, the warmer is attractive, works well, and is really easy to just plug in and use and I'm very pleased with it. It’s a bit on the pricey side compared to other warmers, but it definitely works well!

So, I’m relatively new to the sourdough bread world. I fed all 3 of these starters at the same time and after 1 hour the one on the warmer had risen more than the others and I thought wow this really works. Then at about the 2 hour mark my other starters had surpassed the starter on the warmer (not by much) and the starter on the warmer kind of stopped rising. The jar gets warm to the touch (not hot, just warm) and obviously the others don’t. Weather and room temperature plays such a big factor in how fast my starter will rise as well as my feeding ratio. Sourdough is so finicky in my opinion and while this did make it rise faster the results in the end were the same for all 3 starters, so I’m still on the fence about this product.

This works great for providing steady consistent heat to the base of a proofing jar or mixing bowl with a small base.Touch controls are drop-dead simple for setting temperature and timer and it heats up quickly.It's a simple "warming plate" product with adjustable but low maximum temperature, perfect for this specific application.Like many who kind of weirdly found themselves on a homemade sourdough journey during the pandemic for reasons that are still unclear, I've continued to strive for improving my process and my bread and this has gotten me a step closer by improving this stage of the prep process.

Absolutely love this. I did a side by side comparison to see the difference between a jar on the warmer and a jar on my counter. It honestly wasn’t even comparable. The jar on the warmer did so much better!

This is super handy. Instead of feeding my starter every day, I feed it and put it in the fridge. If I want to make a loaf of bread, will take it out and put it on the warmer at 82° from 5 PM to 9 PM then I feed it again and use that to make a loaf in the morning with a 24 hour cold bulk fermentation in the fridge. Some of these have a glass dome you can get as an accessory but I just cover it with a dish towel or two to trap the heat in. This allows me to take the pain away from twice a day feedings!

We don't keep our house hot enough for me to get a good brew going on my starter during the winter. I tried a couple different things, like keeping it in an oven or near a light but none of that worked right. When I started using this though, my starter really came alive. I had to clean up a mess because it went over the top from being so well heated. If you are in a cold place or have a cold house... this thing is just great.
