Bread Maker Question

[Toby Keil]

Anyone own a bread maker and if so, do you get much use out of it and is there a particular brand that’s better then others? I’ve found a few on Craigs list but thought I would check with the folks here before I purchase anything. My wife just got me a meat slicer for my birthday and I’m dying to make some really fresh sammies. http://www.amazon.com/Choice-610-Premiu ... B0002AKCOC

We have a Oster. We use it all the time.

My wife bought me one a couple years ago when I was expressing an interest in making our own bread. I have a Breadman 2lb loaf brand.

To be honest, it has turned into a "winter" thing for me, and even then not on a regular basis. I'm planning to get back into it more this winter.

If you have counter-top or storage cabinet space problems, there are not too many small one's out there.

I have the Breadman Ultimate. I use it often and love it.

Bought one about 5 years ago and put on to much weight. Was cooking bread every night with it. Bread is a big weakness of mine.

I started out with a small one pound I guess..Welbilt brand which made excellent bread. Nice n Crunchy all over. Then I dug a two pound Black and Decker outta the K Mart dumpster which we have been using the past twenty years or so. Dont make near as good tasting bread. It sits up near the KA mixer and may get drug down and used every few years or so.

I have a bread man and I like it. It works great. Let us know what you get and make a movie of it bouncing around on the counter.

We had an old one that took a $hit earlier this year. This is what my wife got me for fathers day. http://www.cuisinartwebstore.com/detail/CUI+CBK-200

I use it every other week and sometimes each week.

Well we have a medium sized layered bottom stew pot which come from the Arkie branch of the clan many moons ago...and it is marked Cuisinart. If that electric contraption is half as good as their stewpots...will venture to say your gonna like it. Now seems like you already said that

Im 99.9% sure thats the one we own.....It works like a champ too. I think I bought that for her 2-3 yrs. ago. I've never used it but my wife knows how too.

 

[atruckerswife]

We use ours quite frequently, as the size of my butt can atest to.

We do tend to bake the bread in the oven though instead of the bread maker, and it turns out much nicer in our opinion.

 

[big dude]

We used to have a bread maker but used it primarily to mix the bread then baked it in loaf pans in the oven. We now just mix it in the mixer or food processor then bake in the oven. I find a breadmaker to be like a lot of one use kitchen tools - the job can be done by something else that can do many other tasks as well. For what it's worth.

 

[ScottyDaQ]

I've always liked making my own bread. Some one gave us a bread machine....we used it a couple times... but... eh.

 

[CarolinaQue]

We used to have one, but I have found that I can make better bread using our Kitchenaid stand mixer. With the bread machine it was always hit or miss with the bread machine. A stand mixer gives you more control and you can do a lot more with than just bread.
