At present, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, many people not only own household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, but also many small household appliances that can improve the quality of life. For those who love bread and baking, they will be attracted by the name baker. For everyone, a bread machine may not be a familiar concept. On the one hand, many people are curious, but on the other hand, they are hesitant to buy it. Today, let’s join the author to find out what a bread machine is and whether you should buy one. A toaster actually refers to a small appliance that can automatically make bread. When many people hear the name, they may think that it is the kind of product that can bake bread in Japanese and American TV series, but it is very different from a toaster. The bread machine can automatically complete the process of making bread, including dough mixing, fermentation, baking, etc. , according to the command program specified by the user. There are two types of bread machines: commercial bread machines and household bread machines. What I’m talking about today is a household bread machine, which can be used in our daily life. In fact, although making bread is a baker's "skill", it does not mean that it is only used for baking bread. Today's bread machines can complete the task of brewing yogurt, rice wine and even making ice cream through different programs. The bread machine is mainly composed of an oven, a kneading barrel and components that can drive the kneading barrel to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. It can be seen that the structure of the bread machine is relatively simple and its use is not very complicated. When it comes to baking bread, many people will first think of the oven. So what are the advantages of a bread machine compared to an oven? In terms of convenience of application, the bread machine only needs to put in the ingredients, perform simple operations, and wait for a while to get the finished bread. The oven requires the user's cooking skills to control the heat process, and the user needs to make the dough and ferment it by himself. In terms of bread types, bread machines are only suitable for making square bread. The oven has strong DIY features and can bake cakes and biscuits. From a professional perspective, ovens are more suitable for users who like to do it themselves and require strong professionalism. Some people may think that using a bread machine does not require expertise, but although the steps are simple, using a bread machine also requires some baking knowledge, such as the proportion of ingredients. As far as cleaning methods go, both are relatively simple. The bread machine liner has a special non-stick coating that only requires wiping down the oven where the bread or cake is being baked. Therefore, for users who want to save time and effort in making bread, or who want to use a bread machine to make yogurt, rice wine and other foods, a bread machine is a good choice.
