Quality Assurance

For the reasons listed below, Su-Dan's 100% fine mesh polyester proofer cups are considered by commercial bakeries around the world to be the industry standard for English muffin dough proofing.

1. Su-Dan's replaceable polyester mesh proofer cups are designed with snap-in retainer tabs that will not break off and end up in someone's breakfast muffin.

2. Su-Dan's proofer cups are inspected with precision micrometers to insure that all dimensions, including depths, are maintained within the established tolerance.

3. Polyester fabrics withstand much higher heat and can be formed to a more consistent shape and depth than polyethylene or nylon fabrics.

4. Polyester fabrics are best for releasing the sticky English muffin type dough.

5. Polyester fabrics are less likely to distort or stretch out of shape and grab the dough during the proofing process.

6. The material used in construction of proofer products produced by Su-Dan are approved by the FDA for food contact. 

7. Many of the cups we manufacture pass over an actual flame during the dough proofing process. The mesh we use in construction of our cups is 100% high heat polyester with a melting point of 490 degrees. Polyester is much harder to form and most of our competition use polyethylene or nylon mesh in the construction of their cups which melts at a much lower temperature.

8. Su-Dan Proofer Cups are constructed in accordance with FDA'S code of regulations TITLE 21 PART 110 SUBPART 110.40 and will remain free of bacteria hazards throughout their useful life in accordance with paragraph (A) & (B) of this code.
    (A) All utensils shall be so designed and of each material and workmanship to be adequately cleanable.
    (B) Seams on food-contact surfaces shall be smoothly bonded so as to minimize accumulation of food particles, dirt, and organic matter and thus minimize the opportunity for growth and microorganisms.

NOTE: NOT ALL PROOFER CUPS ON THE MARKET INCLUDING CUPS WITH FELT LINERS WILL MEET THIS CRITERIA.
