Pakidge!

I decided I wasn’t happy with how well the food processor kneads bread dough and decided to get a bread maker. It also gives me another option for making yoghurt which is a good thing, I usually make it in the rice cooker and some times I want to make both rice and yoghurt and things get awkward.

Myers had the model I got on special, so I price matched it with Appliances Online and bought it through them. It’s funny to think when I was growing up Myers was considered a top store with great service and now I’d prefer not to buy from them if I can avoid it and don’t really trust their customer service to be up to scratch. How the world has changed.

Same here re Myer. Last time I went I stood in the store for a good 10 minutes and was not approached once by a staff member. This would’ve been unheard of with the Myer of my youth.

Also let me know how you go with the breadmaker. I’ve been a little tempted but I’m sticking with my stretching-and-folding sourdough thing for now.

  I have had a few breadmakers before. They are really good at kneading dough (and providing a warm place for it to rise) but are not as good at the actual baking. I intend to just use it for the kneading and then bake the loaf in the oven. Which is how my mother has been using hers for years too, with very good results.

    Ah thankyou, that’s actually really clever of your mum. Kneading can be heavy going sometimes!
