How I bought a bread machine“Oh, how I love delicious, soft, fresh bread. Yes, so that the crust is so crispy. And when I walk past the bakery, which is located not far from my mother-in-law's house, it’s generally, already, breathtaking from the aromas scattering throughout the block. I wish I had such a wonderful machine that could make me such beauty at home, ”my friend tells me, tucking buns with poppy seeds on both cheeks. Indeed, she always has something flour, tasty and terribly high in calories on her table. But surprisingly, my friend, as she was a reed, remained thin, despite the fact that she gave birth to two children.

"Eureka! There is a present for Sveta ”- I thought at that moment. The fact is that her anniversary is not far off, and my husband and I have already received an invitation to the restaurant, but we did not know what to present to her. But now this problem has been solved.

Going home, I decided to go to a home appliance store and see what units there are that can satisfy the desires of my girlfriend. It turned out that such machines are called bread makers, and in addition to their main task, they have a large number of additional functions. So, you can bake not only ordinary bread, but also loaves, rolls, cupcakes, diet breads, knead the dough, even make jam. You can also make bread with various additives: aromatic herbs, cheese, onions, garlic, raisins, nuts, honey. And if you go further, then you can use rice, corn, pearl barley, oat flour for making gourmet rolls.

To cook delicious homemade bread, it is not at all necessary to hang around the stove all day, guard the dough and worry about an unsuccessful dough. With this wonderful machine, all you have to do is, following the instructions, pour the necessary ingredients into the box and set the desired program on the display. All!!! The smart unit will do the rest by itself, and at the end of the work it will give a signal so that the owners can taste its creation.

So, I no longer doubted that the gift would be desirable and in demand. It only remained to choose the right model, and there were quite a few of them on the shelves. I started by simply looking at the ovens, the stands were plastic (economy class) and stainless steel models (more expensive option). The sizes are also different, so I figured out where Svetka would be able to place my present in her kitchen, so that it would not turn out like in the joke: “And the hat is not for the court”.

I saw the difference in the size of the finished product and chose the average one for my friend - 750 grams, and there is also more than 1500 grams. The dough box is almost the same for all models, but in more expensive copies there is a device into which you can pour various additives, and they will then be added during the kneading process and baking bread.

It is possible to set a snooze timer. For example, put food in the oven in the evening, set a program and set a snooze timer, and wake up in the morning from the heady smell of freshly baked bread. You can also set the desired crust on the roll.

In case I suddenly fall on my friend's head to visit, she can, by setting the “express” baking program, bake bread in a short time.

Svetlana has children (two boys), so I chose a bakery, which has another useful function - it is protection from children, by the way, there is also protection against overheating and changes in the network.

In short, I think Svetka will be delighted.

Having paid for the purchase, I went home happy with myself.

If only you could see Svetka's eyes when my husband and I presented her with our gift at the holiday ... These were huge, childishly shining, two wells with clear, crystal water, in which delight and happiness from such a gift drowned. She even lost her voice for a few seconds. Later, after catching her breath, she hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear: "You are a real sorceress, you did me a miracle." You see how it turned out to be easy to become a fairy and give people ordinary, human happiness.
