bread makers - gimmick or worth having?

razil

cue amusing comments of some nature..

i would say gimmick, from seeing the one my inlaws have it makes quite small loaves god for not much more that a few slices, much better to make it yourself and not have the machine do the work for you.

Blessed are the bread makers....

I just went to the bakers and asked for a loaf of bread.

Shop Assistant said "White or Brown?"

I told her "It doesn't matter, I've got my bike outside"

You're starting to get technical now. I leave the bread making to Mrs McMoist

Panasonic is the best, makes all sorts of different bread or even better IMHO is to make the dough in the machine and then bake it off in the oven, you can even do buns in the oven!

At yeast there are some sensible replies on this thread.

I have it on good authority you can make a "whole meal" out of it :-)

Anything other than granary bread goes against the grain.

Buy a kicthen aid stand mixer and learn how to mix a dough properly. Bradmakers are OK but the kitchen aid is so much more versatile.

one of the great smells of the world is bread baking . Bacon cooking is another. Sunday roast mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

One of my customer's is Canada's largest Cinnamon Bun producer - you can smell the factory from miles away - beautiful aroma but the people who work there can't smell it anymore!

Dazzler21

with the goonerhater there three amazing smells that take me back.

smell of a ruby can get the old taste buds moving and stomach complaining sometimes ( with the stomach sometimes after as well !)
