I had one about five years ago or so and the one thing I like about it
was the smell of the bread while it baked. And I liked to watch the
machine do it's job every time I'd walk into the kitchen. Most men are
not into cooking and this kind of stuff but I love to eat. But that's
me. I know these machines don't always work that well but it is a
challenge to get all of the ingredients just right so the bread will
come out right. I've had a lot of trial and errors with the bread
dough.

Some times after I put all of the ingredients into the machine I would
move it to my office and bake it there just so I could smell it
cooking. Who doesn't love the smell of bread cooking? Yeah, surf the
net and smell the bread...

Actually, that is more than counterbalanced by the numbers of right-wingers and
religious fanatics wanting us all to be as unhappy as they are.

I see you're catching a bit of static from people who denigrate bread
machines.

If you like fresh bread and the machine is what you choose to use, more
power to you. Maybe down the road you'll make bread from scratch, without
the machine. Either way, you'll get bread that's far superior to
store-bought bread.

Do they have bread machines, too?

Possibly - but they wouldn't be caught dead baking any of those un-American
artisan breads.

Now Barry, I was not denigrating bread machines.

I am, however, probably the only person living who doesn't like his Kitchen Aid
mixer

From what I read on alt.bread.recipes, there are a lot of people who don't
like their KA mixer. What don't you like about yours? I have a list of
things I'd change if I could (and I have changed some of them).

And even more people love them until the day they suddenly stop working
in mid-stir and never so much as hum again.

I don't know about that... I have never thought much of Kitchen Aid.
That's why I bought a Kenwood.

For cakes I much prefer almost any old mixmaster, whatever, where the bowl
turned and the beaters merely rotated in place. It was so much easier adding
flour and liquids, and I could get a spatula safely into the bowl if I needed
one.

Now people are making wax paper chutrs for the flour, or buying the newer model
with the chutes on the side - I don't understand why going through MORE trouble
is an improvement.

I don't recall seeing automatic bread machines until the late 1980's.
