Curious about why bread machines...
I was given a used bread machine last year, just the machine, paddle and pan, no manual. It's been hot and I need to rebuild my masonry oven, so I finally got around to looking up the manual for it and trying a recipe or two. While the results aren't as good as what I can do with proper equipment, there was still 80% of the effect, of certain types of bread, for 20% of the work.
I'm just curious why so many bread machines hit the Salvation Army, garage sales, etc. For certain applications (Small batches, people away during the day, etc) They're a useful tool, why do so many people get them, then get rid of them?
