Brød & Taylor Sourdough Essentials Kit
32 oz sourdough starter jar and purpose-built silicone spatula for easier feeding, mixing, scraping, and daily maintenance
The Brød & Taylor Sourdough Essentials Kit pairs two tools designed specifically for maintaining a sourdough starter. The wide-mouth 32 oz glass jar gives an active starter room to rise, while the long silicone spatula reaches the bottom and follows the jar's curves for cleaner mixing, feeding, and scraping.
Why Order from Design & Grace
Authorized Brød & Taylor retailer: Design & Grace is an authorized Brød & Taylor retailer, so you receive genuine products backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
Ships from Texas: Your order is carefully packed and shipped from our Texas facility.
Real customer support: Our team is available to help with sourdough tools, starter maintenance, and product selection.
Two Tools Designed to Work Together
A starter jar and spatula are simple tools, but their proportions matter when you use them every day. Brød & Taylor sized the spatula to reach comfortably into the jar without awkward angles, while its curved working edge follows the glass closely enough to scrape starter from the sides and corners.
The jar's wide mouth makes adding flour and water, stirring, and cleanup easier. Inch and centimeter scales help you track rise, and the adjustable black ring gives you a quick reference for the starter's level immediately after feeding.
Signature Features
32 oz starter jar: The 4-cup capacity provides enough room for maintaining an active starter, larger feedings before a bake, or keeping extra starter and discard.
Durable borosilicate glass: The clear jar lets you follow fermentation activity while providing a smooth interior that is easy to stir and clean.
Built-in rise tracking: Inch and centimeter markings pair with an adjustable black ring so you can see how your starter changes after each feeding.
Loose-fitting lid: The plastic lid protects the starter while allowing it to breathe and regulate pressure during fermentation.
Purpose-built starter spatula: The 10.5-inch spatula is long enough to reach the bottom of the jar and curved to scrape its sides and corners efficiently.
Balanced flexibility: The spatula is firm enough to mix flour and water thoroughly but flexible enough to scrape starter cleanly from the glass.
Seamless silicone construction: The spatula has no seams or crevices where wet or dried starter can collect.
Dishwasher safe: The jar, lid, and starter spatula can all go into the dishwasher for straightforward cleanup.
From Our Founder
"These are the two pieces you handle every time you feed a starter, so the details matter. The wide jar gives you room to work, and the spatula actually reaches the bottom and follows the sides instead of leaving starter behind."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace

What makes Brod & Taylor products different?
Brod & Taylor focus on solving real problems in the kitchen, particularly around temperature control and consistency. Their tools are thoughtfully engineered, easy to use, and designed to deliver professional-level results in a home environment.
Do I need a proofing box for sourdough?
A proofing box isn’t essential, but it makes a significant difference. Sourdough is highly sensitive to temperature, and a controlled environment helps ensure consistent fermentation, better structure, and more predictable results.
What is the Sourdough Home used for?
The Sourdough Home is designed to maintain a precise temperature for your starter. It keeps your starter active and consistent, reducing daily variation and helping you bake with more confidence.
What does a bread steel do?
A bread steel stores and delivers strong, even heat from below your dough during baking. This improves oven spring, helps develop a better crust, and creates more consistent results compared to standard baking trays.
How do baking shells improve bread baking?
Baking shells trap steam around your dough during the early stage of baking. This allows the bread to expand fully before the crust sets, resulting in better rise, improved texture, and a crisp, crackling crust.
Are Brod & Taylor products easy to use at home?
Yes. While the results are professional-level, the products are designed to be simple and intuitive. Most require minimal setup and quickly become part of a regular baking routine
Are Design & Grace an authorized Brod & Taylor dealer?
