this is something i am considering atm, made good use of the abm, always
just used a hand mixer but am reading about the benifits of the nicer food
processors. now since i rarely make cakes or things that need a big mixer,
but like the idea of using the bigger mixer or a food processor for the
bread kneading chores i am curious to hear other's opinions, when we get
back into the house i would like to make several kinds of rolls to get ready
to bake and then freeze them. doing this will allow us to cook just what we
want for that meal, which once we decide the meal will allow the bread to
cook whilst the rest is being prepared.
what say all of you who have experience with all three items, if you could
only buy one of the three, which one and why? which would help most to you
for bulk cooking and preserving? Lee
