Do you use a breadmachine?

I had a breadmachine that my son gave me. Now that I am not eating as much breads, I don't make as much bread. I returned the machine to him rather than anyone else. Now my husband wants me to get it back. I am sure that my son will do this, he hasn't used it. LOL

I like to have home made bread but my hands do not want to do the work of kneeding the bread the way it needs to be done. I bought a bread machine at a thrift store. The only part that works good is the part that kneeds the bread. But that's the part that I needed any way. I can do the forming of the bread.

My wrists bother me at times and I can onlywork the bread for a short time. Using a machine is great.

I use my breadmachine. My fingers hurt so much now, I have a hard time kneeding the bread with them. So, I use the machine, and I like it. It's certainly better than a store bought bread from the super market. I am able to control what I want in it, and what I don't. It lasts maybe two days.

My son has the machine that he gave to me. I use my Sunbeam Mixer to knead the bread. But, it gets a bit warm and I am afraid to overwork the motor. I may get the bread machine back so I can use it here. I know that he hasn't used it.

I have a bread machine, but I actually like making it by hand. The machine was a Christmas gift from my stepsister. I have yet to use it and it's been a couple years since I got it.

I know a lot of people that use the machine to do all the mixing and kneading. I have carpal tunnel in my left wrist and it causes me pain to knead bread dough by hand.

Good way to get the hint out! Try leaving magazines open to the bread machines or earwigging the pages.

There are times when I wished I still had my breadmachine.

We have one. It has been years since I used it though; but, I have been thinking more and more about doing just that.
I have been reading labels again and it is absolutely ridiculous. The things they put in just plain bread are sickening - literally, if you have allergies like I do, and the bakery breads aren't any better. Bakery bread labels have HUGE lists of ingrediants when 4 or 5 ingrediants are all that are needed to make bread.

I used to use mine faithfully but now that I'm home, oddly enough, I seem to have gotten away from it. I rarely make bread and usually just purchase it. If I want just a plain bread I can get it so cheap at the stores like SaveALot and Aldi's and if I want a flavorful bread, specialty type, I hit one of my local grocers or Panera bread.
