Breadmakers have been around for a long time now. "Are they good or bad ?"is the question that is asked now. Breadmakers
for me, used to be the best thing since sliced bread. so good in fact that I took my
breadmaker to Bulgaria with me to use in the village I was living in.
It didn't take me long to realise that in Bulgaria the bread is as good as it is made in a bread maker and furthermore didn't use chemicals either. Added to this the cost of the electric in making the bread was more than the cost of the village baked bread in the bakers!

This of course don't apply to most people and the only source of bread they can practically get hold of is mass produced with additives, preservatives and a taste of cardboard. The home made bread is a complex system which can take half a day so
breadmakers come into their own here. this is what I used to do in England day in day out and you can't beat it.
To get bread the way you want it, even with machines is to experiment. The instructions given with each machine are more than likely to give you bread not to your particular taste. You have to use the recipes given as guidelines and design a recipe that adapts to your liking. It took me quite a while until I got a bread that I really liked and I stuck to that.

Making jam is another use that some machine give, however, after a couple of attempts I decided that a jam pan is much more practical, energy efficient and less fiddly.
Lastly, cake and bun making only goes as far as preparing the dough, don't for a minute believe you can get ready to eat cakes and rolls here. You will have to use your conventional oven to bake after the dough has been prepared. Rather a false promise from the ads they give out.

Enjoy the thrill of creating you own home baked bread as the fraction of the time it takes takes to bake conventionally, but remember although the result can me delicious, it is still more of a gimmick than a practical tool. most who buy one use it a couple of time then store it away for years!
I have draw up a list of current bread makers on the market, all do the job of bread making pretty well and are ordered with the least expensive first.
