Inch and centimeter scales: Printed measurements make it easy to monitor how far your starter has risen between feedings.
Adjustable tracking ring: Position the black ring at the starter's initial height after feeding, then compare it with the rise as fermentation progresses.
Loose-fitting ABS lid: The lid protects the starter while allowing it to breathe and helping regulate pressure during fermentation.
Wide mouth: The broad opening gives you room to add flour and water, stir thoroughly, scrape down the sides, and clean the jar.
Sourdough Home compatible: The jar is sized specifically to make efficient use of the interior space in the Brød & Taylor Sourdough Home.
Dishwasher safe: Both the glass jar and plastic lid can go in the dishwasher for straightforward cleanup.
From Our Founder
"A starter jar should make it easy to see what your culture is doing. The measurement marks and tracking ring give you a clear reference for each feeding, and the larger size leaves enough room to build starter before a bake without moving it to another container."

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?
