We all know that if we want great bread, we need an active starter. Trouble is, sourdough starter is most active when the temperature is between 75-82ºF (24-28ºC).That’s just a little too warm for us humans! Most of us keep our homes cooler...maybe 68-70ºF (20-21ºC). "Room Temperature" makes our starters sluggish and our baking even harder.

Goldie elegantly warms your starter jar, bringing your starter up to the “Goldilocks Zone" of 75-82ºF / 24-28ºC - not too hot, not too cold.

When your temperature is consistent, your starteris consistent. Your starter will be healthy, rise faster, and be ready on your schedule.

All you need to do is pop your starter jar inside Goldie and flip the auto-warming switch on when you want your starter to be most active. You can always turn the auto-warming switch off when you want your starter at room temperature.

Goldietracks the temperature inside the glass cloche and provides just enough gentle warmth to keep your sourdough starter happy. Goldie will never overheat your starter. Best of all...you can shave an hour or more off of the typical doubling time of your starter whether you keep it in the fridge or on the counter.

Goldie’s top temperature indicator helps you understand how your starter is feeling.

Without the help of auto-warming, most baker's kitchens are in the blue all year round. Goldie's job is to keep your starter out of the blue zone whenever you want active starter.

Live with these three temperature lights for a bit and you will start seeing the world through the eyes of your starter. You starter will become less mysterious and more dependable.

What if your AC breaks on a hot summer day? Well we made the Sourhouse Cooling Puck to help your starter get back into the Goldilocks Zone.

Just take a Cooling Puck out of the freezer and put it on top of your jar to cool things down while you are preparing your starter for a bake.

Goldie will provide just enough warmth to keep your starter from dropping below the Goldilocks Zone while using a Cooling Puck.
