The perfect partner to our Sourdough Mate Jars!
Whether your kitchen dips into single digits in winter or you just want a more active, bubbly starter every feed — the Sourdough Starter Warmer Pad takes the guesswork out of fermentation. Dial in the exact temperature your starter loves, set a timer, and walk away knowing it's working.
Never Miss a Feed Again
A cold kitchen is the number one reason home bakers struggle with slow, sluggish starters. Sourdough ferments best between 24°C and 28°C — providing a gentle, controlled warmth to keep your starter active and healthy throughout the cooler months. No need to run the heater all day, rely on oven-light tricks or constantly check on it.
Precise Temperature, Displayed in Celsius
Set your target anywhere from 21°C to 38°C in small increments, and the digital display shows your live reading in Celsius — not Fahrenheit. Perfect for Australian home bakers following local recipes. Whether you prefer a slower, cooler ferment at 24°C or a fast, active rise at 28°C, you're always in control.
Built Tough — Tempered Glass Surface
The warming surface is made from high-temperature resistant and impact-resistant tempered glass. It handles the daily demands of home baking without warping, cracking or discolouring — and it's easy to wipe clean between feeds.
Set It, Start It, Forget It — Auto Shut-Off
Choose your warming duration, and the pad automatically shuts off when the time is up — or after 12 hours of continuous use, whichever comes first. You'll never come home to a starter that's been running hot all day. Safe, smart, and completely hands-free.
Ready for Australia — Right Out of the Box
Comes with an Australian plug (Type I, 230V) — no adaptors needed. Temperature is displayed in Celsius. Plug straight in and start warming.
Compact Design. Consistent Starter Activity.
If you're looking for a sleek, compact solution specifically for your starter, while still preferring a slower bulk fermentation at room temperature, our Starter Warmer Pad is a great choice. It provides gentle, controlled warmth to help keep your starter active, healthy and ready to bake with throughout the cooler months, while making feeding schedules, fermentation times and baking plans more predictable.
