The Bread Machine - An Appliance That Does More Than Sit On The Counter And Look Pretty

By Ruth Kelly


Anyone who loves the smell of fresh baked goods and wishes they had time to bake every day should definitely invest in a good bread machine. Baking fresh baked goods is a wonderful experience. One with evidence that quickly disappears in most homes. Unlike our grandmothers years ago, we can have this fresh, hot, treat every day without slaving in the kitchen for hours.

Hands free is always a good thing. This is especially so in these days of multi-tasking. While the bread is taking care of itself there is plenty of time to dedicate to the rest of the meal. Get the meat in the oven, potatoes peeled and boiling, stir fry the green beans, and voila', it is a breeze. Talk about a good old fashioned Sunday dinner with a busy Tuesday afternoon effort. This is it - fast and delicious.

There is no way to become bored with a good quality bread maker. This is an appliance that does not require us to get used to the same old, same old every day. Indeed, some even have settings that allow all the ingredients to be placed into the pan and added automatically at the exact right time. A variety of seeds and nuts, fruits and veggies, and a flavorings can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. The sky is the limit.

Lots more than the obvious can be mixed and baked in this machine. Imagine mixing fresh pasta dough for making homemade ravioli... Yum. Nothing quite matches fresh, homemade pasta. Mix up the dough for bagels, doughnuts, even one of a kind gourmet crackers.

A bread maker can make every morning feel like the weekend. No more dry toast, cardboard cereal, fast food breakfast on the run, or worst of all, skipping the meal entirely. Imagine warm sweet rolls, fresh doughnuts, a cup of hot coffee, the newspaper. Be sure to get to work on time, remember it is Wednesday...

There is just about no household in the country that can claim a cake has never been baked there. But no one wants to turn the oven on during warmer months when the temperature is high. No problem, whether baking from scratch or from a mix, it is simple to make a cake without ever turning on the oven. The best part is that the kitchen will stay cool.

There are too many possibilities to list for what can be created with a bread machine. Try lots of new things. The new cuisine is about to become very simple and quite delicious.
