YOSH!
“they” sed it wuz supposed to be cloudy and snow all saturday but early morning around sunrise wuz cleer. so i tuk a wok in dee pok.
when i returned duh cloudz had rolled in heavy overcast to almost cloudy brite. i decided to skip solar powered coffee and oatmeal.
i gotz mains power from duh utility. so i used it. i experimented wiff brade machine brade making. dis iz wut i learned.
i got cousin art brade machine an associate gave becuz he cudnt be bothered. previous i bought an old bread man machine from a thrift store and a sears kenmore heavily discounted for grinchmas.
i did use these machine but i never got it quite right. i finally tried the one hour 1 1/2pound quick bread on the cousin art machine and got decent results.
i left out a teaspoon of olive oil and i got a perfect loaf comparable to store bought. i decided to use the same recipe in the bread man. it can only make 1 1/2 pound loaves. however the quick cycle on that machine is 2 hours and 50 minnits! thangs went well and i kept peeking. i got a nice loaf when the LED (yes, it’ so old it uses LED) had an hour to go. i let it ride out and the loaf collapsed and the crust got well done even though i picked medium crust. still the bread wasnt that bad.
i fired up the kenmore. it has a “quick” bread cycle of 2:05. the booklet sez it iz for a 2 pound loaf but i added ingredients for a 1 1/2 pound loaf. what i did wuz use dee same recipe for the cousin art except instead of banana chocolate maple syrup strawberry i switched to tomato, green pepper, diced onion and eye talian seasoning. left out olive oil. when the LCD screen indicated one hour left i pressed the stop/pause button and shut the machine off. i left the loaf pan in to continue “baking” with residual heet.
the loaf looks real nice. i’ll do the same wiff dee bread man machine next time. the cousin art and kenmore have horizontal pans, the bread man is vertical. i dont have to tamp the dough down in the bread man.
it looks like i can mass produce brade when the need arises. plus i can use solar power on all now. i just have to watch the progress screen and abort when i got an hour left.
i dont unnerstand why kenmore and bread man dont have a 1 hour brade cycle like duh cousin art. ican unnerstand why some folks get discouraged wiff brade machines. only by experimenting have i found out duh correct way to get the best results out of these machines.
duh cousin art can make great brade unattended but duh kenmore and bread man need monitoring for duh same results.
after the loaves are done, i let them cool for 30 minnits den i slice dem up inter 1/8 slices, put in plastic containers and pop ’em in duh fridge. when needed i place in toaster oven to warm up. YUMMY!
