Bread Makers

[Durbs]

That's what I'm thinking Tony....if I buy one will it go the same way....?!

Yes, just found ours under a table in the conservatory when moving my router. Dont know what its doing there but it certainly aint making bread.

We had our breadmaker out for the first time in two years. My son tried to make some bread without yeast. The flour wasn't even self-raising. The resultant "bread" was dense enough to absorb most forms of radiation and certainly worthy of stuffing under your shirt in the event of a gun-fight.

I dunno - kids these days

A good name for a bread maker would be 'The Quantitive Easer'

A bread maker is a just another machine the missus buys to sit in the kitchen and gather dust.

Leave it for long enough and you can make yourself a delicious dust loaf

I make bread fairly often but don't use a bread maker. Just get a bread tin.

Results are the same. Make the dough the night before stick it in the fridge. Next day 30 mins in the oven and bread ahoy!

Depends what you buy... bread that stays fresh a long time or is very cheap is not good. But fresh-baked bread in their own on-site bakery, that goes stale in 1-2 days - surely that's loads better.

One word: Salt.

We bought one a while ago and it's been used twice. It now lives in the cupboard under the stairs along with all the other junk we bought but never used.

I imagine they're like toasted sandwich makers - Easy to use, but hellishly hard to clean, especially with sticky gloopy stuff like dough (or is that "do" if you're a septic?)

I was surprised at how little mess there was when we started using ours - none of the dough is left behind.

Ours is very easy to clean - just soak in warm water after use and then wipe away. Just don't use anything abrasive on the time that it gets cooked in otherwise it will scratch the inside and make it hard to get the bread out.

This thread has really sold the idea to me. Nice one guys!

I wonder if there is one that can go in the dishwasher...
