Sourdough Starter Jar, Sourdough Starter Kit with Date Marked Feeding Band, Thermometer, Cloth Cover & Metal Lid, Reusable Sourdough Bread Baking Supplies, Home Baking Supplies

This is, in fact, my second additional purchase through Amazon of a Sourdough Starter kit, and my FIRST from ZUNMIAL. Truth be told I own four Sourdough Jars, each from a different manufacturer, and THIS ONE is the most satisfying to date. What sets Zunmial apart immediately, is the quality of the kit.Especially, the breathable, fabric jar cover. OUTSTANDING design, materials, and construction, are evident right out of the box. Of the four manufactured jar kits I own, the first had a cloth cover that was poorly made, and only lasted a couple of months. Two others used barely enough fabric and elastic gathered so tightly to fit the top of the jar, that getting a proper fit is a chore in itself.Gladly, ZUNMIAL understands that securing a cloth cover into place should NOT be a complicated task because a manufacturer is so predisposed in costs, materials, and quality of components, customers are left to wrestle an ill-fitting cloth cover in place.The material is woven from heavier gauge fibers, which outclass so many other kits with higher asking prices.The silicone jar spatula is very well made and very consistent quality among other competitors. The glass jar is a heavier grade, durable, and made for years of reliability. The temperature sticker exhibits solid adhesive properties, easily legible and reliable.The elastic fabric day/time/level feeding indicator is easy to understand, and very useful. The metal lid also secures quickly and conveniently.I paid twice as much for the Sourdough Starter Kit I ordered previous to this, but hands down, the ZUNMIAL Sourdough Starter Kit offers GREAT Quality, Value, and Reliability whether for home use, traveling, or as a gift.The ONLY upgrade I believe would make this kit markedly better would be a longer spatula. Depending on the consistency of your sourdough starter and the size of your hands (I am a male with hands that don't always cooperate with me), you may find yourself needing a bit more leverage than the standard 9.5-inch silicone jar spatula to make quick, efficient use of your effort in stirring ingredients together.Great Product!!!

The media could not be loaded. This Sourdough Starter Jar has been an absolute game-changer in my sourdough baking journey. As someone who's recently ventured into the world of artisan bread-making, I couldn't have asked for a better companion to support and streamline my sourdough process.The standout feature of this kit is the date-marked feeding band. It's a genius addition that takes the guesswork out of maintaining your sourdough starter. With clear labels to mark the date of each feeding, I can easily track my starter's growth and health. It has made a world of difference in ensuring a consistently active and robust starter.The thermometer included in the kit is a thoughtful addition, and it's incredibly handy for monitoring the temperature of my dough and starter. Achieving the right temperature range is critical for successful sourdough baking, and this tool has proven invaluable for achieving those perfect loaves.The cloth cover and metal lid not only add a touch of rustic charm to my kitchen but also serve practical purposes. The cloth cover allows my starter to breathe and develop the right flavors, while the metal lid keeps it securely sealed when needed. It's a well-thought-out combination for maintaining a happy and healthy starter.What sets this Sourdough Starter Jar apart is its high-quality construction. The jar itself is sturdy and airtight, and the glass is thick enough to withstand temperature changes without breaking. It feels like a reliable piece of equipment that will last for many sourdough adventures to come.Whether you're a seasoned sourdough pro or a beginner like me, the Zunmial Sourdough Starter Jar is an essential tool for anyone who enjoys baking delicious, crusty sourdough bread at home. It simplifies the process, ensuring your starter stays healthy, and your loaves turn out beautifully. This kit has quickly become an indispensable part of my home baking supplies, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their sourdough game. Happy baking!

This is a great product. Love the silicone stir stick- the cloth mob-cap for letting the starter breathe and the band that serves double duty so you can see the day you last fed it and how much it rose since you did.Making starter gets messy- especially as you use or get rid of discard before you feed the starter- especially at the opening. That caused the cloth cover to get stuck to the goo at the top. Fortunately, the cloth cover is hand or machine washable. Using this, I do understand why a crock like container is favored by many.What makes this great is if you are a novice to making sourdough starter-this is a great way to check your progress. Comes with clean, clear instructions. It’s a fun way to learn a hobby that is delicious and satisfying.

I'm so glad I bought this Sourdough starter kit! It honestly made the whole process of getting into sourdough so simple and fun! The glass jar is thick and sturdy, which gave me peace of mind when handling it daily. It feels super durable - no worries about cracks or chipping, even after regular use and washing! The kit came with everything I needed to get started: the Jar, breathable lid, feeding guide, and tools. I loved how easy it was to follow the instructions. Super user-friendly! Definitely Recommend!
