If you look closely at the lid, you can see where the bread started baking against the top of the machine. That's probably my only complaint, but with a little experimentation that can probably be fixed.

new breadmaker
Today I finally decided I was going to buy a bread machine. I've been making it by hand, but I don't have the time or motivation to make it as often as we need it, so we've been going without bread sometimes lately. I didn't want to pay $60-200 for one, and I had heard success stories of people getting them at thrift stores, so I went to the PTA thrift shop and bought one. It looks practically new, it has the manual, and . . . it was $10. We tried it out tonight, and, lo and behold, the result was bread. And it tasted good.

How fun!
We got a breadmaker from Granny for our wedding (15+ years ago). Sadly, I was always disappointed with how the bread turned out. It was okay, but not like homemade loaf bread. So, I didn't use it very often. Then, I learned I could use it to make dough, pull it out, and bake it. I've used it exclusively for dough since then. I go through cycles but sometimes make dough in it 4+ times a week. I make different recipes and make dough for a loaf of bread, french bread, breadsticks, or pizza dough. It's so easy to dump in stuff and pull out dough a while later. :)
I may move onto another machine sometime because it would be very handy to bake the bread sometime. :) I guess I need your thrift store here!
Way to go! I love great deals like getting an almost new breadmaker for $10 instead of $200! Love it, love it! Mark and I are starting to garage sale again...I are hoping to use your luck and get a patio set for super cheap!
PS...your bread looks delicious. It makes me want to go make bread!
Wow, $10! That's great! I never like how mine turn out in the bread maker (overbakes it), so I just use it on the dough cycle, then just shape it real fast, let it rise for 25 min, then bake it. It's a few extra steps, but for me worth it.
