How do proofing cabinets work?

What Is a Proofing Cabinet? A proofer cabinet works by helping achieve the perfect rise in the dough and bread products. This is possible because the proofing cabinet precisely controls the humidity and temperature levels to help bread dough rise in order to produce perfectly baked loaves of bread.

What is the difference between proofing and holding?

A proofing cabinet allows you to control temperature and humidity levels so dough can properly rise. A holding cabinet is designed to maintain the temperature of food. This is perfect for caterers or any operation needing to prepare food ahead of time.

What is the purpose of a proofer?

A proofer (aka proofing oven, proofing cabinet, dough proofer, proofing drawer, or proof box) is a warm area (70-115°F) designed to maximize proofing by keeping dough warm and humid.
