As someone that made okay bread/buns/rolls/dough by hand, switching to a bread maker makes me never want to go back. I can appreciate the by-hand techniques and customization you can do, but "that one thing" you speak of is a huge sell.
I can spend over an hour combining the ingredients, kneading, washing up several times between stages because making bread is , cleaning the bowls, materials, and pans I used....or I can spend 2 minutes and use a bread maker and make even better bread than I was making beforehand.
There is a non-negligible peace of mind that comes with progressing from by-hand to bread maker. I would certainly suggest making it by hand for a bit if you aren't used to it, however.
- WalterBright 5y agoThe lack of cleanup needed for the bread machine is a big point for me, too. I tried a couple juicers, like JuiceMan. The ads say it is easy cleanup, just rinse it off. The reality is you'll spend 30 minutes cleaning that screen. If you don't get it all, what's left will quickly rot. Not fun. The JM also had all kinds of nooks and crannies that were not reachable with a sponge and really hard to clean. I finally gave up. The Vitamix is the solution here. No tedious juicing, just stuff everything in the machine and turn it on. The cleanup is pouring water and soap in it and turning it on for a minute.
