It is decorative, Jako. Pull it off! The good stuff is INSIDE the bread already.

If it's on the bread, it's considered edible. But not by me. Puree that forest first, please.

Twue. Haute ain't hot.

I picked up an earlier model Zojirushi at a US Postal auction about fifteen years ago. It was a pig in a poke as you couldn't plug it in to see if it worked, and, well, after I got it home $90 later, it didn't. Damn. I opened it up, looked for the big ON/OFF switch, couldn't find it, and closed it back up. Miraculously, that did the trick, and it worked. It's been humming along fine ever since.

There's nothing quite like waking up in the morning and having the smell of coffee and fresh bread tickling the nose. Here's a nice one:

Great link, thank you kind sir.

Too hot to bake today. 93=B0F (Feels like 102=B0F due to 70% Humidity) Yup..Canada.

The problem is yuppie bread makers. You need a real bread maker:

you just need someone that knows how to make the stuff:

[keithw86]

do it when we're not home. I'm sure that works well for the Army, though.

Think nothing of it, my good man.

97F here and it's on its way up. I hate it when I have to stop making fun of my brother for moving to Phoenix. R

Yup, another hot one today. But I want bread, so outside it goes. Got to love modern automation. Heck, I can even buy flour in the store, I don't have to bring in the sheaves.... just the bacon.

I was razzing my son in Vermont about the heat there. It's been beautiful here in Alabama. ;-)

Without a doubt. Then I'll hear it from him. ...until October. ;-)

It's a real live Hobart A200, 120v dunno hp but the sucker is strong as hell, heavy as hell also... The last time I moved that sucker I was a little younger and stronger. It is where it is now...

Not sourdough, but my wifes own recipe of a mix between her super duper standard homemade regular bread and her super duper Italian bread. I call it the best Italian bread ever made by any human. It is scary good...

My wife tells me all the time that is not a bread knife? It has some corrugated/serrated thing-ees on the end so I tell her it is a bread knife. I like it because the wide blade makes it easy to cut straight slices. We fight any time the bread is cut less than perfect... You run out of big things to fight about after knowing someone 56 years...

Yeah, thats the style my wife uses. I use it sometimes when she isn't looking:-)

I'm way too down to earth (cheap) to buy something like that, That's like the festool of bread knives:-)

Is it at least VERY yeasty? That makes for an excellent bread.

Ah, that's a 'toy' model in the Hobart line. it's a counter-top unit. (Per the spec sheet it is a 1/2 hp motor.)

The 'serious' Hobarts are _floor_ standing units, e.g. the HL1400. 140qt bowl. 5'8" tall, 4' deep, 2-1/2' wide. Motor is 5hp, 3 phase, 240v or 480v. Weighs in at 1,385 lbs. *empty*. It'll mash 100 lbs of potatoes in a single batch. Or mix enough bread dough for around 250 one-pound loaves.
