As bakers, we often grapple with unpredictable bread dough. To shape a great loaf, mastering the art of mixing and fermenting a perfect batch of dough is essential. This initial proofing stage, also known as bulk proofing, is pivotal and, unfortunately, one of the most challenging steps in bread baking. It can take home bakers months or even years to develop the skill to recognize a well-fermented dough. So, the question arises: how can we consistently proof our dough correctly and ensure confident baking every time?
Designer: Sourhouse (Erik Fabian & Jennifer Yoko Olson)
Meet DoughBed by Sourhouse – your new best friend in the kitchen. Rest assured that the problem isn’t your dough; it’s the inconsistent temperature of your kitchen. Kitchens are often too cold, and the temperatures fluctuate, making it challenging to stick to a proofing schedule. This ingenious tool solves the problem by warming your bread dough by approximately 5-10°F (3-6°C) and sustaining that temperature. DoughBed combines a warming mat, a glass dough bowl, and a cork lid to create the ideal proofing environment.
Mat + Bowl + Lid = The Perfect Proofing Solution
The warming mat ensures your dough is gently and evenly warmed to 75-82°F (24-28°C), the ideal temperature range for fermentation. This consistent warmth transforms the proofing process from unpredictable to reliable, giving you confidence in your baking. The cork insulation in the mat and lid prevents heat loss, directing the warmth where it’s needed most – your dough. This innovative design means your dough will stay warm, not your counter or the surrounding air.
DoughBed combines a warming mat, a glass dough bowl, and a cork lid to create an efficient warming solution. The dough bowl has a wide bottom so your dough is gently and evenly warmed to 75-82°F (24-28°C) by the mat below.
The glass dough bowl’s oval shape is inspired by traditional wooden dough bowls, offering an ergonomic and pleasant experience for mixing, folding, and kneading. This shape allows you to get underneath the dough and move it around easily, much like a trough. The bowl’s transparency is another thoughtful feature, letting you keep a watchful eye on your dough as it bubbles and rises. Seeing the fermentation process helps bakers become more intuitive and skilled over time.
The warming mat is made with cork to prevent heat loss into your cold counter.
With consistent dough temperatures, you can say goodbye to inconsistent proofing times. By keeping your dough at a steady temperature, you’ll know exactly when it’s ready to shape. This predictability is a game-changer, whether you’re baking with sourdough starter or commercial yeast. Consistent dough temperature sets you up for repeated success, turning baking into a more enjoyable and less stressful activity.
Oval = the Best Shape for Dough Handling
This design also considers practicality and sustainability. It’s energy-efficient, operating at just 10W via a USB plug, which means it can be used anywhere in the world with a local USB-to-wall adapter. This low energy consumption makes it one of the most sustainable ways to proof dough at home. The use of materials like cork and glass further enhances its eco-friendly profile.
When it comes to storage, it’s compact and convenient. The warming mat’s cable can be neatly tucked into a pocket on the bottom side, and all parts fit inside the bowl, making it easy to store in any kitchen space. Whether you place it in a drawer, a vertical cabinet, or even under the oven, it won’t clutter your kitchen.
DoughBed makes proofing a delight rather than a challenge. By providing a consistent and controlled environment, it ensures your dough ferments perfectly every time. With this, you’ll find that baking bread becomes a more reliable and enjoyable process, enabling you to serve up great loaves with confidence. Bakers, embrace this innovation by Sourhouse to enhance your bread-making skills. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a beginner, this product will become your go-to kitchen companion, making the process of perfecting your bread smoother and more satisfying.
Following the release of last year’s Retro Mechanical Keyboard, 8bitdo decided to give the keyboard the one good thing it was missing – a gorgeous numpad. Inspired by the retro aesthetic of tech from the 80s and 90s, the Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad exists as an independent peripheral device that can either pair up with its companion keyboard, or be used independently like an old-school calculator. A red and black seven-segment display on the top feels like retro-perfection to the eyes, and those clacky keys are sure to get your fingers crunching numbers every day because of how wonderfully tactile they are.
The Numpad comes in four delightful flavors, ahem colors, each inspired by iconic gaming systems: the M edition, the Famicom edition, the C64 model, and the N edition reminiscent of the NES. These draw inspiration from the design language of those classic consoles, offering a delightful dose of retro charm for your desk setup. The M Edition is the only one to sport a black and white display, while all the others have a black-red screen that is literal eye-candy.
Beyond aesthetics, the Numpad boasts functionality in the form of two modes: a standard calculator mode with an integrated display and a PC numpad mode for entering numbers on your computer. This versatility allows it to seamlessly switch between basic calculations and data entry tasks. Buttons on the top let you alternate between modes and even explore connectivity options.
For connectivity, the Numpad offers a variety of options. It includes a USB cable, Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless freedom, and a 2.4GHz USB adapter for a lag-free connection. The rechargeable 1000mAh Li-on battery offers a solid 160 hours of use on a single charge, ensuring it can keep up with your workflow.
The Numpad’s quality matches 8bitdo’s high standards, featuring dye-PBT or double-shot ABS keycaps (depending on the edition) for a comfortable typing experience. It utilizes Kalih Box White V2 switches, known for their satisfying tactility and durability. Additionally, the hot-swappable PCB allows for easy switch customization to personalize your typing feel.
A dongle at the bottom allows easy 2.4Ghz pairing with any laptop or desktop
Priced at $44.99 and available for pre-order now, the 8BitDo Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad is a niche product, but one that caters to a specific audience. It injects a shot of retro charm into your workspace while offering a functional and well-built numpad experience. Besides, if you’ve got a keyboard with a layout that’s either 80% or smaller, chances are you’ll need a numpad to match – this one’s perfect to complement your mechanical setup or your retro sensibilities. I also appreciate the fact that you’ll never have to open your phone’s calculator app again.

Picture this, it’s summer, you’ve packed your bags and you’re heading on a Eurotrip (maybe for a nice holiday on the Amalfi coast or to see Taylor Swift perform). In true holiday fashion, you intend on spending the entire day out and about, exploring the city, but you realize an hour in that your phone’s already on 15% battery. You might have a charging cable in your pocket, but there isn’t a power socket in sight. Here’s where a MagSafe power bank just makes things much easier. Designed to simply snap onto the back of your phone and give it a battery boost, the TORRAS MiniMag is a compact power bank that’s no larger than a credit card. With its compact size, 0.3mm thickness, and MagSafe compatibility, the MiniMag merely attaches onto your phone, giving it an extra 5000mAh battery so you can go about your day without worrying about being perpetually on ‘Battery Saver’, or worse, a completely drained battery.
Convenience seems to define the MiniMag’s entire design approach. It’s compact enough to slide right into your pocket or laptop bag when not in use, with a form factor no larger than your average payments card. At 0.3-inches or 7.6 millimeters thick, it might not be slim enough to fit into your wallet, but it attaches to your phone without making it too bulky the way other power banks would. It weighs a minimal 4 ounces (113 grams) and has curved edges running throughout that lets you slide your phone into your pocket without the power bank snagging anywhere.
Card-sized Power Bank, Snap and Go!
Long-lasting Battery Life
The TORRAS MiniMag packs a 5000mAh battery, which practically doubles your iPhone’s battery capacity. Wireless MagSafe charging occurs at a standard 7.5W, and if you’re looking to go faster, plug it into your phone using a USB cable to get 18W of wired charging speeds. The MiniMag supports pass-through charging too, allowing you to basically charge the power bank as it wirelessly charges your phone, keeping your iPhone’s own charging port free for accessories or dongles.
Ostand R case: 360 Magnetic Rotatable Stand
The MiniMag comes with a matte anodized aluminum outer body, in either silver or pink. Although designed to be used independently, it pairs exceptionally well with TORRAS’ Ostand R case, which also gives your phone its own dedicated rotating kickstand. The Ostand R is practically a marvel of engineering, with a stand that sits flush against the case when closed, but opens to prop your phone up. It relies on a specially engineered hinge that’s 1.2mm (0.04 inches) thick, but can resist tens of thousands of folds, and can even hold its angle like a laptop hinge (while taking the weight of your phone). The ring even rotates independently to let you place your phone in either landscape or portait, and it does so with super-slim magnets inside that extend your phone’s MagSafe compatibility, whether it’s attaching accessories or mounts, or snapping on a wireless charger or power bank like the TORRAS MiniMag.
