Q: What is the Sourdough Starter Jar used for?
The jar is used to maintain and monitor a sourdough starter.
EV676 – Sourdough Starter Jar
Experienced bakers know that a good sourdough starter can be made with just a bit of flour and water, but it needs regular attention to stay active and thrive. This kit includes a glass jar, a tracking band, a thermometer and two lids to help you manage that process for more reliable results.
The jar holds up to 900ml and measures 4" in diameter and 6 1/4" tall, providing ample room for active starters to expand while taking up little space on the countertop or in the fridge. Straight sides make it easier to scrape down the starter and clean the jar thoroughly, while a removable non-slip base keeps it from sliding around.
The movable tracking band provides a clear visual reference for both starter growth and the time of the last feeding. Graduated markings on the jar let you monitor growth and fermentation, so you can tell when the starter has doubled in size and is ready to use. A stick-on thermometer indicates ambient temperature, which plays a significant role in fermentation activity and influences the texture and flavor of the finished bread.
For active fermentation, the jar is covered with a breathable cotton cap that allows gases to escape while limiting exposure to dust. A separate tight-fitting lid is for refrigerator storage when the starter is not in active use.
