AngryRobotsInc. So do I. My mom made fresh bread all the time when I was growing up. And with the kid starting on the gluten and dairy free diet soonish, and some of the premade loaves being $6 (US) a pop, I figured no time better than the present to start making my own regularly. I'm getting some bread pans off her as well, but a lot of the recipes in the books I got for the kid's diet call for a bread maker, so I was looking to hunt one of those down too. How will you be making gluten free bread? Barley? I know that has less gluten. What sort of foods ar they? surprised

Fiddlers Green How will you be making gluten free bread? Barley? I know that has less gluten. What sort of foods ar they? surprised Gluten is pretty much anything wheat, or wheat derived. I know off the top of my head there's rice flour, and various type of flours made from beans. And corn flour. All of which are gluten free, and I know there's other types I'm forgetting. Most of the recipes call for a mix of different flours, as that's generally best anyway, even using wheat flour. Luckily, he's not going on a yeast free diet as well, or then I'd probably have some difficulties with a few of the bread recipes.

AngryRobotsInc. My mom just made my evening. I'd been wanting a bread maker, and brought it up while on the phone with her, and she goes, "Oh. We have one of those in the attic. I used it maybe two times. Do you want it?" Right on, free appliances. When I got my own flat, my mum gave me her rice cooker, her crockpot, AND her hand mixer, on account of she never uses the first, has a second one of the second, and has a nice stand mixer that replaced the third. Very yay to free appliances. The rice cooker lives on my countertop, gets used at least twice a week, the hand mixer gets used whenever I bake (and I bake my own bread too), and the crockpot, I suspect, will see a lot more use in the winter, when it's cold and I'm on-campus late.

I can beat that smile I got married, moved into our own place, and got my parents old stuff, both sets of grandparents old things and brand new wedding presents. I <3 both of my blenders. Both are old, sturdy and do everything.

Crockpots/slow cookers are pretty much the best kitchen invention ever, next to egg and apple slicers.

Both are old, sturdy and do everything. See, that makes getting married sound almost worth it. But that means finding a woman crazy enough to put up with me forever. And getting it legal. Though, the crockpot and rice cooker are both about as old as I am and still work wonderfully. There's really something to be said for old appliances, I think. heart AngryRobotsInc. Crockpots/slow cookers are pretty much the best kitchen invention ever, next to egg and apple slicers. I probably use my rice cooker more than my crockpot, actually. But we'll see how that changes this winter. And as for apple slicers, omgyes. I use mine just about daily. <333
