DoughMate® Artisan Kit – 2 Pizza Dough Proofing Trays, 1 Lid, and Dough Scraper – Food Contact Certified, Stackable, Made in USA

Perfect proofing box. One lid, stackable. Fit perfectly in side-by-side fridge.

Nice fitting good size for a personal use situation.

I purchased the product a few years back and use the trays for pizza and then, because they make such nice little vessels for raising pretty much any dough, I started using them for a variety of homemade breads. As per other comments, the size fits well in the fridge, and the lids and trays set reasonably well but are not air tight (and in fact can be incorrectly seated if you are not careful). So, they could be better but they do work well. They are not a cheap product, but if you do a fair amount of pizza or bread baking you can get your money's worth quickly enough.As something of a minor footnote, I recently moved to a high altitude desert environment (>5000 ft) and found that I was having trouble raising any type of bread dough that was directly exposed to air -- the greater the surface area, the greater the problem as the bread would dry out quickly during rises. These trays helped a bunch in preventing dry out, although some of the breads that I previously would never have used the trays for (e.g. rolls) required some extra effort to raise inside the trays--spacing is tighter than what you get with a half sheet pan, and then of course you have to get the dough in and out. One approach that worked for me was to use parchment paper for the rolls and simply invert the trays inverted (i.e. start by laying out an array of rolls on a sheet of parchment, then cover with an upside down tray, then lay another sheet of parchment on top of the inverted tray, and repeat).

I purchased my first set about 6 years ago and loved them. They’re not only extremely professional quality, they easily fit in my refrigerator, which is a smaller, apartment sized model. I do lightweight catering and travel with these frequently and they’re still looking like brand new, don’t scuff, scratch or dent easily, and most importantly…they’ve held their shape for airtight stacking and cover fit. They’re so great, I bought another set a few years later and these fit the originals like a glove!

Now that I have spent about 6 months making pizzas, I have finally figured out many of the smaller details and I'm making pizza dough that I love. When I make a batch of dough, no matter the container I put it in, the lid always pops off and the dough gets hard because I don't notice. It is also a pain having five containers in my side-by-side fridge (sbs fridges suck when you really need space).So, when I read about dough boxes and found this set for a really great price I jumped on it. It arrived and the first thing I checked was how good it seals. Well, it doesn't really. The lid sits in a groove but there of no "locking" or a tight seal. Believe this and other reviewers who tell you this. Also, at first I thought this was a terrible design but I have found out it works great.I put 4 balls of dough in overnight and even had some containers on top. The next day, the top of the dough was a little dry. Maybe my expectations are misaligned with the actual way this product should perform. Perhaps, it should not seal because the gases need to release. I just wish the seller/manufacturer had done a better job of describing the product to manage the buyer's expectations.I thought about return the product but then decided to wait because I do like that I can store 6, 280 gram dough balls inside with enough room for each to expand and not touch. I can also store things on top of the container, which gives back some of my fridge space. Might I mention, the image that shows this in a fridge is not a side-by-side fridge. This will not fit length wise and takes the full width. If you order this item, pay attention to the dimensions.Overall, the box is not going to hold gas so the lid isn't going to pop off and let dough expand everywhere. It is a good way to keep several balls of dough in the fridge for 3-4 days. One more thing, the included spatula is of good quality but I find it easy enough to just grab the dough with my hands.Back for an update after having this in the fridge for 3 days. I like it a lot better now. Apparently, you should put it in the fridge and let it acclimate to the temperature. Once it does, the box gets cold and holds enough moisture to keep the dough perfectly moist. I did put a piece of plastic wrap on top of the dough but now that the box is "working", I can see that it is not necessary.Overall, this box is great IF you give it time to come up to temperature and if it will fit in your fridge.

We use it primarily for pizza dough balls but I've been doing the bulk fermentation in them as well and have had a lot more success in these bins vs, covering the mixing bowl. The lids don't click in place but they're secure enough that nothing gets dried out. There is only one lid between the two boxes, which is OK but I do kinda wish there was a second lid. Do I need it? I guess not really because they're built to be stacked so the other box is the lid for the other one. They've also held up well in the proofing drawer in the oven. The scraper was surprisingly a heavy duty thick plastic tool. I was expecting more of a flimsy throw in so that was cool. I usually use my metal bench knife but it's good to have the plastic one because I'm wary of scraping these bins up because I don't think they'll hold up long if they get scuffed. I suggest lightly spraying or flouring surfaces because it'll be a bit sticky getting doughs out if not, but still doable w/ a scraper.Also, bonus, perfect size/height for storing/transporting cupcakes.
