Bread-Bakers v100.n015.16

I ran out of room in my proofing box (proofing a bunch of 
sourdough  starters)  and had to resort to an emergency procedure for my 
French bread.

I took a large plastic storage (tote) bin (Staples has them cheap) lined it 
with aluminum foil.  set it on a table and suspended an infrared heat lamp 
about 3 feet above it. (put a thermometer in on top of the bowls holding 
the dough to check that the temp remained around 90-95F).

It worked -  Now I have an idea for something to set up on a permanent basis -
I will be going out checking yard sales and used furniture places for a 
metal kitchen cabinet. You know, the ugly things they had back in the 50s 
and 60s.
I think I can turn one into a proofing cabinet that may even be better than 
the one I have.
