proofer=incubator??

[farmerChef]

I was at church the other day and was walking thru the kitchen and thought to myself, that proofer would make an awesome incubator!!

I told my mom and she said, I don't think they would let you do that, and how would you turn the eggs? I said I would only need it for 3 weeks, it's not used that much. I have two egg turners, and I could hand turn the rest.

I could probly fit at least a 1000 in there.

Ah... the crazed mind of a hatcher.....

(also, I have 22 eggs set to hatch thursday!!!)

What is a proofer? Or should I say I know something called a proofer but It wouldn't be at a church so what is a proofer?

Think of it like a bread "incubator". It's using to 'proof' bread/pastries before putting them in the oven. You can control humidity and temp.;

Here's a pic of one of the 'net.

Now that makes much more sense in a church kitchen that a "proofer "used to test the output of a moonshine still.

I thought almost the same the proofer for shine is the little thing you check specific gravity with to find out what proof it is
