Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 I've decided that it's time to invest in a breadmaker, but I don't know anything about them. Can anyone recommend a good brand name or let me know if there are certain features I should look for? I'm not looking to make anything fancy, just some basic white sandwich bread my son will eat.

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 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.
