Get one. Very, very handy - esp. if you buy flour in bulk (whole wheat and white) and keep a bottle of yeast in the fridge around at most times. Doesn't take long to set up, and it beats the hell out of store bought bread. Ever since I started using once, I've never bought bread from stores and only gone to bakeries once or twice.

Thanx Salil I am Considering Cusinart, I just checked the PDF booklet..I haven't seen as many chicken recipes than bread recipes I prefer Multi-Grain Wheat Bread, so the stuff is easily available right? like what do you use for Whole Wheat?

we used to bake our own bread... but there are some problems: for one, the bread is often a bit too rich for our palates and diets. not to mention that it is an absolute ***** to slice and even with the finest bread knife you are left with enough crumbs to feed all of australia.

The 'Breadman' machines are awesome, IMO. For multi-grain - that's very easy. You just add in the appropriate amts of each type of flour, yeast and other ingredients, programme the machine and it automatically warms and kneads it, lets it rise and then bakes. I've done everything from sourdough to Italian herb to multi grain/whole wheat with it. Key is just buying the right grains and flours at the supermarkets (but these days I just make sure there's a good part of a packet of white flour and whole-grain flour at home).

Here's a pic of one of mine - Italian herbs (3/4 white flour, 1/4 whole wheat flour with some oregano, rosemary, dried basil and crushed pine nuts mixed into the dough). p1060855ci9.jpg Nothing wrong with rich bread btw. Throw some good cured meat (proscuitto, serrano ham, capicolla, some other good salami etc) in there, a bit of good cheese, a drizzle of olive oil and some herbs.

The longest I've ever left them uneaten is about 4 days, and they still were good then... maybe a little on the dry side (but with bread you expect that), but still fine.

just need a expresso machine to complete the collection and I can be in Martha Stewart Show These appliances really help a lot - steamer, griller and I really enjoy fresh baked whole wheat bread. In Mumbai, there used to be a bakery right at the corner and they used to have home delivery, gosh u miss those services here unless ur in NYC

I know its off topic but I need to tell u guys ... I just bought a rice cooker earlier today :yay:
WTF is that? I am not much of a cook, but I know that rice is one of the easiest things to make. Why would you need a special cooker for that?
