Breadmachine bread
One of my neighbors makes bread everyday with his inexpensive bread-machine. The bread is so good that I have just ordered one for myself. Do many of you RFCers use these machines or has the interest in them waned? Just curious.

Do many of you RFCers use these machines or has the interest in them waned? Just curious. I use one, occasionally. Don't eat bread daily, and live very close to an excellent bakery. Gets used more often for making dough (usually for pulla) rather than making bread. The machines are cheap, and easy to use. Set up to bake the bread overnight, and you can have hot fresh bread for breakfast. |

When I went camping recently, a friend used her bread maker and we had nice, fresh bread each morning. For some reason I've always been highly sceptical of bread makers, preferring to do it by hand. Last week I borrowed an old, well used (noisy!) bread maker to try for myself, still being a little resistant to the idea. Well, I'm not a skeptic any more, and sometime soon I'll be buying my own. I have the bread maker running right now as I type this. The time and trouble it saves is well worth it. |

Yep, and the newer ones have a compartment for adding fruit - I like the idea of waking up to a fresh loaf of raisin bread in the morning. I did a bit of research yesterday, and in Australia at least, this seems to be the one to get: http://www.panasonic.com/au/consumer...s/sd-2501.html My research also suggests staying the hell away from Breville models... problems with the paddle seems to be a common issue and Breville wants $50 for a replacement. |

Noisy, time consuming, made an odd shaped too small loaf and the bread just wasn't good. My cousin has several of them. He invited us for lunch some years ago. They used to have a huge, custom house on an island here but they have since moved to CA somewhere and are running a BBQ joint. Anyway... We walked into the kitchen with the bread makers steaming away, each making a different type of bread. By the time lunch time rolled around, the bread was cool enough to slice and they put out everything you could imagine to make sandwiches plus some salads and fruit. Everything in my life pales in comparison. :( Now when I do make bread, I just make the no knead kind. I actually love kneading bread but my kitchen is just so small that I don't have a good place to do it. I used to have a large dining table and I could use it for things like that but the movers broke it and it wouldn't fit in this house anyway. Current table is more for looks. Tiny thing with folding flaps and when extended, does not make for a flat table. |

I think it's always better than supermarket bread, but don't you hate the paddle hole in the bread? Or do you remove the paddle after the kneading phase? -- Bruce |

No, not on the one I'm using at least. Put it this way - I didn't seem to notice it a great deal on the couple of loaves I have done so far. I think I just cut off that part, <shrug> no biggie for me. The chooks can have that. The third loaf is nearly ready, I'll pay closer attention to the paddle hole when it comes out this time. >Or do you remove the paddle after the kneading phase? I suppose I could remove the paddle after kneading if it really bothered me, apart from if it's set on the timer and working while I'm sleeping of course. |

The machine I am currently borrowing is also a Breville, and I've had no problems with the paddle either. It seems to be an issue with their Custom Loaf Pro BBM800 model, which was the only Breville that caught my interest. |

I mix the dough in a food processor then move it to the bread maker to knead, rise and bake. Mine is finicky with the dough, and mixing with the food processor lets me make slight adjustments to flour or liquid. On average I'd say I use it 2 or 3 times a month. |

RealCamping(tm) does not include a power source to use a bread machine. Give me a break. Real camping involves cooking on a wood fire. Not for everyone, but I prefer "wilderness camping." What you use is what you carry on your back for miles into a wilderness area. Also a fun challenge is to carry very little food and try your best to live off the land and suppliment the small amount of food that you carry in. |

When I first got into camping I was a "purist". But then I realised that we all make camping technologically advantageous as we all see fit! Think about it, the purest form of camping would be to be dropped naked and alone into a several hundrerd acre wilderness!! I'll stick with sleeping in the back of Baby II, my 2006 Grand Caravan! :-) Have yet to do that, but it's coming!! John Kuthe... |

My friends 'camp' down the coast from here about six months of each year. They are certainly *not* roughing it though. A full size caravan (or trailer) with annexe which has a decent kitchen, solar power/generator, even growing some vegetables on site. Internet access, not one but two boats, a trailer for firewood and water, two 4x4's too :) I have my camper trailer set up down there next to their setup and come and go when I can. The fishing is great there, with plenty of lobster. I'm hoping to stay down there this weekend if the rest of the week goes as planned. >Not for everyone, but I prefer "wilderness camping."

We do that here too when fishing up the lakes, for example. |

I'm confused. Sorry, I explained that in another reply. They have some solar panels, batteries/inverter and a generator. In Aus at least, the term 'camping' covers everything from carrying nothing more than a backpack through to your full sized Winnebago (sp)... and everything in between. |

Some people >carry generators -- that makes it unpleasant for others who want to >sleep and/or breathe without inhaling exhaust Yes, generators can be annoying... very annoying if used in the wrong places. In some places though they can be fine, for example on sites with plenty of bush which can mask the noise and fumes and you can run a long lead to your camper... mind you, modern generators are very quiet and not particularly fumey. Generators have their place, but not just in any old place. |

What's a "BBM"... a Big Beautiful Milf? >I used to have a vertical one, and the hole would go >up one quarter of the (small) loaf or so. So what, it makes little difference when the round slices are cut in half, and that little paddle only protrudes into the loaf 3/4" at most... and with those types of ABMs you can remove the paddle right after the last knead, then there's just a small pock mark in the crust, all gone with the first slice, here it's the last slice. I very rarely set my ABM in advance so the bread is still hot when I wake up, I don't enjoy bread hot from the oven, it's got to go on a cooling rack for a while or it won't slice properly. I've enjoyed bread from my ABM for more than 20 years. I used to use it twice a week but these days twice a month as I don't eat nearly as much bread. I like the ABM because it allows me to make odd flavors one loaf at a a time and with very little clean up. Towards the end of the last knead add a half cup each of cubed pepperoni and provolone to a pizza dough. |

I >don't like the sticky, messy part. Why not let it bake, the kneading and rising cycles use the most time, baking is only another 40 minutes or so... and since it can only knead dough enough for one loaf at a time I don't see your point. |
