ottawa foodies

I am thinking of buying a breadmaker. Any recommendations on brands? I would probably use it for pizza dough or rye and multigrain bread if that helps.

I actually just bought one off of used ottawa the other day. It only cost me 25$... philips, about a year old, and it still works like new... Made rye bread, cheese and onion bread, and a sweet cinnamon apple bread, as well as pizza dough... Works very well!

Tons here, $20 to $120:

I have a brand called "Regal" and although I don't use it often, it's been good. I use it most often to proof doughs, and it does make it pretty easy to wake up to the smell of fresh bread.

I'm in the process of checking them out as well. I'm deciding between Zojirushi, Panasonic and Breadman.

Panasonic: (In an open box ... never used !)

Breadman: ottawa.kijiji.ca

Ignore the Panasonic. It had been used and there was no box. Do not waste your time.

Got my Japanese one, on the curbside, on garbage day.

Had to find online info to get the basic ingredient ratios and operating instructions.

Toaster oven ... same thing as bread maker. No biggie for me to re-use.

I guess a lot of people are more like my mom: "Ewww, I can't use that. Somebody already had their food in it.

Captain Caper has the right idea - go for used because bread machines are the sort of thing that a lot of people buy or get gifted to them but then they tire of them quickly. A friend of mine specializes in really cheap bread makers like 5 or 10 bucks at yard sales, and he always keeps a spare on hand just in case. But he makes bread in several times a week, and they typically last for years.

Trust me. This was not a case of me being squeamish about a previously enjoyed item. It did not come as advertised and the shopping experience left a lot to be desired.
