How long does it take a retarder proofer to bring back a frozen product to a state ready for baking?
Once you got the frozen bakery out of the freezing conservation unit where it was stored at a temperature of -18C, the product is put directly in the retarder proofer. The warming process takes place in three steps: – from -18C to 0C: in about 3 hours – from 0C to +6C: 10 minutes Beyond this temperature, the normal proofing process starts. Its length depends on the temperature set in the retarder proofer.
