King Arthur's Sourdough Sidekick device stumbles before stabilizing in review
A reviewer testing King Arthur Baking's automated Sourdough Sidekick found the device initially failed to dispense water, leaving the starter dry and under-hydrated. After downloading the companion app and applying a firmware update, plus manually calibrating flour and water output with a kitchen scale, the device began correctly dispensing 30 grams each of water and flour daily and triggering stirring cycles every two hours.
