I'm generally one to avoid single purpose kitchen widgets, but am curious about these. How does isn't compare to just doing things in a basic pan in the oven?
Cooking in the oven is a more natural shape and a better crust, but it’s all about the convenience. The reason for getting a bread machine is that you literally pour in the ingredients and press buttons, then come back a few hours later for pretty good bread. I definitely put it well above store bought, although I never had any that were good at sandwiches.
Making your own bread may not be difficult but without the machine it’s very time consuming. It is so worth it to save all that time but still get to enjoy fresh warm bread right out of the machine!
There are really simple and good bread recipes that take almost no hands on time. Check out the 5 minute artisan bread recipes. It forever changed the way I bake. I have a bread machine and I haven't used it in years because these recipes are better and a trivial amount of extra work.
