I used to have a really good one that wasn't fussy and produced
surprisingly good results. Got it from one of the kids elementary
school teachers who had made soft pretzels with the class, so it had
to be easy. I lost it somehow. Maybe I'd transferred it to computer
and it went when the hard drive died. My computers tend to die rather
than be replaced due to age.
