12/19 - Thrifty Thursday!

You want mine?

 

Nope, but I assume you're implying you don't use it anymore?

Would you recommend I don't bother getting one?

 

One of my friends joked this morning that he bet I would take "a half day break from baking, at the most."

I...I just put rolls in the oven.

 

homemade bread is super easy. i used a bread machine once or twice before, and much prefer the oven

 

yes!!! lol

 

holy smoly.

you just reminded me.

I have a bread machine.

wtf.

It's being yanked out tonight.

 

Yes, and not necessarily. This was one I knew I didn't want, it was gift from the in-laws. It's super easy so if you're the type that might want fresh bread but doesn't want to spend a lot of time/effort on it, it could be great. You can also use it just to knead bread/pizza dough, so it could be useful for that (though not useful enough imo to take up my very small amount of counter space). The main thing I don't like about the bread it produces is the shape of the loaf - it's very tall, so it's hard to cut and produces overly large slices. I think if I had the counter space to spare, I'd still use it for kneading, but I also don't have a stand mixer so if you do that probs wouldn't be a benefit.

 

update: and used. I'm using the bread machine.

That'd be a hard pass

 

The best air frier thing I got to sample recently was a pre-prepared product which was essentially green beans which had been 'Shake and Baked'.
Even yummier than they might sound.

 

Save the money that would otherwise be wasted on the bread appliance and put it toward a stand mixer. People like Kitchenaids, but imo a Bosch universal does a better job for bread doughs.

 

kitechenaid turns into a nice display piece when you give up on it

@dan as is no surprise to anyone, @Mothra made the point much more efficiently. Ignore my comment, this is all you knead to know.

 

Seriously though, people in our part of the world have very little chance of not getting enough protein.
The big question is getting enough 'high quality' carbs.

 

Is that a new Christmas badge I see @ChrisTurk

 

yeah I think that's my big thing with not wanting one.

I have all these different loaf pans of all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Nice to have variety
