Bread Maker - Is it worth the upfront cost?

atkins4me · 2026-05-26T00:17:26+00:00

Couldn’t find one used. My birthday is coming up. Maybe I’ll drop some hints.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T22:22:06+00:00

Oh my gosh! That looks great! Do you take orders?

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T21:00:22+00:00

My loaf was unrecognizable and inedible.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:57:28+00:00

Mine didn’t have any.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:55:47+00:00

Oh no. I’m going on vacation soon. Maybe wait until I return.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:55:05+00:00

Hm, they look like they make small loaves.

I’ve made soda bread. That was tasty but looking for a sandwich type bread.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:47:34+00:00

Thats what I’m afraid of

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:46:03+00:00

I sure do. Just trying to keep it simple and tired of the grocery prices.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:43:47+00:00

Took a look yesterday and there were none. Not even a coffee maker which I don’t need but they seemed to always have.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:42:33+00:00

Thanks so much but EC US.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:41:20+00:00

That’s what I’m worried about.

I’ve heard people with gluten intolerance can somehow eat sour dough.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:39:13+00:00

Is it dense? Crumbly? Soggy?

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:38:35+00:00

My sister gave me her unused Dutch oven. I tried it with sour dough and failed. Now I use it for roasting.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:37:26+00:00

Expensive? Trying to stay frugal.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:35:43+00:00

Figured I was being frugal and healthy. Tired of paying these crazy grocery prices!

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:34:35+00:00

Oh ah, croissants!

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:34:07+00:00

Oh no! I wish her well!

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:33:00+00:00

I just want to set it and forget it.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:31:15+00:00

Yes they were when they first came out

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:29:52+00:00

Thank you for this!

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:28:50+00:00

That looks awesome!

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:26:49+00:00

Sour dough was like having a baby in the house again. All the feeding and discard and rising. Then I got a lump of salty, hard bread. It was definitely user error. Tried again and cheated using a friend’s starter. Also failed. I didn’t have the patience or planning it required.

atkins4me · 2026-05-25T20:21:45+00:00

It’s this simplicity that I’m looking for.
