I had tried to make sourdough starter a few years ago and failed miserably. This starter kit is a game changer. Everything about this kit makes it easy to get started, from feeding times to measuring, each element is thought of in this kit. At $25 with the current discount I’d recommend it to anyone looking to get into sourdough making.
A little more detail:
The kit contains a glass jar, adhesive strip thermometer, spatula, measuring spoon, expandable day/time band, metal lid, fabric lid and instruction booklet.
The beautiful borosilicate glass jar is 35 oz. and light in weight. Clearly marked measurements are printed on the jar to follow fermentation of the sourdough starter.
The smooth stainless steel lid fits snuggly. A cloth lid is also included.
The spatula is well made and scrapes down the sides and wipes out the sourdough starter with ease.
The expandable band is marked with day and feeding times to keep you on track with your sourdough baby.
The clear plastic measuring spoon is marked clearly for measuring out flour and water for feeding the sourdough starter.
The instruction booklet, however, is not complete. There is no mention of the cloth lid, when to use it and why. Only the stainless steel lid is mentioned. I ended up going to another source for instructions.
Sure, one can make sourdough starter with only a glass soup jar but this kit makes the process so much easier.
I think this would make a lovely gift for anyone. It is beautifully made and contains everything one needs for success.
After about a week of feeding, I finally made my first sourdough and it turned out delicious. I overcooked it a little as you can see from the burning - but it was still extremely tasty.
Highly recommend this starter kit
