Bosch v. KitchenAid

[beelzebabette]

I find breadmaking quite soothing, a lot like knitting in that respect.

May I recommend this recipe if you're into lovely chewy whole wheat bread? I tried it a few days ago and it turned out fantastically. It's quite easy to follow and will yield a generous hunk of raw dough that can be refrigerated and brought out when you want to make a fresh loaf.

I'm torn. Recipes? Bread & ice cream are the two things I've made using muscle memory since sixteen. I'd hate to go messing with the synapses.

No need to mess with a good thing, I suppose. I just like to try new bread recipes and was particularly impressed with the ease of this one given the delicious end product.

Last night I dreamt that I was attending a cooking show in person, and the faceless host was making bread as part of the show. He had two mixers (one Bosch, one Kitchenaid) on the counter, and when he was almost ready to add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl, he intentionally elbowed one of the mixers and sent it crashing to the floor, where it shattered into pieces. The crowd cheered raucously, and it became clear to me that this guy's schtick was to place two competing brands of kitchen appliances on the counter and choose one to use. The one he didn't choose got knocked to the floor.

Sadly, I don't remember if it was the Bosch or the KitchenAid that he knocked to the floor. But I would like to thank Mrs. Funk for a memorable dream that I likely wouldn't have experienced without this thread.

Wow. That's hilarious. A pity your didn't dream reveal which is the superior brand!

Like many others I grew up with my mom using a Bosch. She also had the grain grinder. This thread brought back memories of that high pitch squeal of the grinder. It was annoying as hell but the payoff was well worth it. Ahh, the simple days.

My MIL gave my wife/us a KitchenAid and she has been loving it ever since. Recently, the MIL hooked us up with this:

My wife loves it but the damn thing cleans the bowl so well that there is nothing let for me

It would "accidently" fall into the garbage. After 15 years of marriage, my wife understands that I only want 3 cookies out of each batch, but I expect them to be uncooked

It's all good. Not everybody grew up baking bread like I did. I need to get into some of the fancy schmancy artisan bread, though.

My mother who sold artisan bread out of our home all the while I was growing up prefers the Bosch. Take it for what it is worth.

Thanks for the tip!

I used the Bosch to make bread dough last night and man, it's so much easier than kneading by hand.

I may try the cookie paddles tonight and see how they handle chocolate chip cookies, too.

I think Chris Bosch will test the free agent market this year. I think he's a good 600 watter if not 800.
