Complete Sourdough Bread Starter Kit, Glass Sourdough Starter Jar Kit & Tons of Sourdough Bread Baking Supplies - Sourdough Starter Kit Includes Sourdough Jar, Banneton Basket (2x Baskets and Jar)

Why This Deal Is Worth It

I have gone through plenty of flimsy kitchen gadgets that end up in the donation pile, but the Amish Chef kit is different because it focuses on the science of fermentation. The glass jar includes a temperature strip and tracking band, which removes the guesswork that usually ruins a starter. Unlike the cheaper sets that omit the essentials, this one gives you a proper rattan proofing basket and a Danish whisk. That whisk is the real secret; it incorporates flour into the starter without overworking the dough, saving you about ten minutes of messy cleanup per bake. If you are a working parent who wants to stop buying processed loaves but feels intimidated by the learning curve of sourdough, this is for you. This kit solves the problem of needing to hunt down five different tools just to get started. By baking your own, you save enough on specialty bakery bread to cover six months of school lunches. The one thing to know is that sourdough is a commitment. The kit provides the tools and the recipe book, but you still have to feed your starter regularly. If you are not ready to keep a small science experiment alive on your counter, skip this.
