Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 I have a Welbilt breadmaker and it works just fine. It was only $50 and it does the job. The tricky part about making gfcf bread in a breadmaker is following the directions completely. You can't just throw everything in anyway you want and every recipe is different. I think they all basically work the same and my bread comes out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 Okay, now I'm having second thoughts about the bread maker. I read through the introduction to Marci's Soft White Bread and Rolls in Special Diets for Special Kids and now I'm thinking I should put my money into a " good mixer " or, better yet, a food processor. I priced a KitchenAide at a discount store and it was $250.00! Can anyone recommend a food processor that is less than half that price?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 On the subject of breadmakers....does your bread come out with a very hard crust? Ours does and we have to cut off the crust. Is this just because it's GF? Or could I be setting the settings to high? I haven't really had the time to " play " with it. Thanks a lot Rhonda (CA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 WalMart and Target Stores both carry the Kitchen Aide mixers for about $169.00. I haven't bought one yet as I was trying to use my regular hand held one as long as possible. But was making pizza dough the other day and mixer was making some awful noises when hubby walked in. He said .. " That sounds ugly " LOL So maybe I will get a kitchenaide for Christmas.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 I couldn't afford the countertop model of the Kitchen Aide mixer so I bought the hand held one and it works great. I got it for $45.00 and it has a dough hook attachment that I use all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 Yes, the crust is hard on the bread I make in the bread machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 Dawn, I think you can get the " cheapie " (ha!) Kitchen aid at Walmart for under $200. I'm thinking $169-anyone know? Everyone says that one works fine. I have a more powerful one, but rarely use the power it has, so think the cheapie one would be great. We bought my $$ kitchen aid before we had kids. You remember those days, don't you? Back when you had money? Plus they have a lifetime guarentee-oh I butchered that word! Sigh. Some days everything looks like you're spelling it wrong.
