At least I thought they were weird but, from talking to another person that has two bread machines, they apparently aren’t. Does anyone else’s bread machine have settings for: Yogurt, Sticky Rice, Rice Wine or Stir Fry? I haven’t Googled to find recipes for those settings yet. Does anyone here have any recipes using those settings I might try to just see what they do?
There are also less weird settings for Jam and Rice Bread.
You know what would be good as a drink with jam and bread?
It looks like some people are using them as rice cookers, so why not make them officially multi-purpose?
Especially because I see so many of them at thrift stores and garage sales. :dubious:
For years I thought that line was, “Tea, a drink with Jan and Fred.”
I am massively intrigued and utterly terified of what dumping all the stir fry ingredients in a bread maker and standing back would end up with.
I just spent eight bucks buying a yogurt maker at a thrift store. Finally made yogurt and it was awesome. It would have been even more awesome if I could have saved all that money and made it in my four dollar Goodwill bread machine, but alas, no yogurt setting.
Counter appliances in the 21st century: useless in more ways than ever before!
Growing up we sang it as “a drink with *German *bread”.
What brand is this? And…“rice wine”? Bwah? Doesn’t it have to ferment?
(This sounds like a cool machine btw)
I can speak from experience that you can make a form of rice wine in a rice maker by forgetting to deal with it before leaving on vacation and leaving it on warm.
By “form of” I mean if you like your rice wine with black and green moldy sludge growing in it.
Well, here’s a rice wine recipe which seems to make sense in a bread maker, assuming the setting keeps it warm between 100 and 110F.
The ‘brand’ is Costway.com. No, really, that’s what it says on it. It also says Intertek on the bottom but that is just an electrical appliance certification company. I ordered it from the Walmart website. It was marked down dramatically. I was only looking for one because my old one was making weird noises and it lost the little ring that holds the pin in the pan.
The rice wine setting is 36 hours according to the scant instructions that were included. It kind of gave a ‘recipe’ but not much of one.
Thanks for the info.
For some inexplicable reason I’m fascinated by the idea of bread-machine rice-wine. I wouldn’t make it or anything, but the idea is inexplicably cool.
