Goldie by Sourhouse + Cooling Puck

I have always failed at keeping a starter but Goldie has been a game changer for me! I have the most beautiful strong starter and it’s actually fun instead of a chore to take care for my next bake!

I had a feeling this gadget would be good .. but I didn’t think THIS good lol I finally broke down and ordered it after my hubby cooked my starter for the second time as I had it warming under the oven light. This little Goldie is a WONDER! I never have to worry about my starter now and it’s never doubled in since so fast! It’ truly does create the perfect conditions for starter with almost zero effort! And it looks so pretty sitting in my kitchen too! It is a little pricy yes but if you are making sourdough on the regular it’s worth EVERY penny! Couldn’t be happier! Thank ya’ll so much for such an great product! also very pleased with the high quality… the glass is really pretty in person!

I hesitated for a long time concerning the price of the Goldie and futzed around with heating pads and towels for too long. Finally I decided to take the plunge and invest in my bread making and ordered this nifty little device.

It was expertly packed and arrived in good time. When assembled it is quite elegant: part lab equipment, part flower bell jar. We were amused just looking at it.

I plugged it in and took a run at doubling my starter and was so pleased with the results. This unit really delivers! The heating pad hardly feels warm to the touch but the starter thinks it's being turbo charged and rose accordingly.

It deserves its' five stars. Worth every penny.

Sourdough is hard enough to get right without having a crappy starter to begin with. Goldie helps with that.

Creating your starter is always challenging, brilliant idea, but struggling to maintain 25c, little lone take something like a raw starter mix, and heat and maintain 24-28C.
