Industrial bread machines motherfucker, have you heard of them?

FEEL LIKE BAKING LOVE

From what I skimmed their manual no internet connection mentioned. So it won't transmit your usage or tap your conversion, which is a plus.

Zojirushi's core product is rice cooker/pressure cooker, this seems another variant with mixing(kneading) motor. Attatchable mixing blade and presets of holding temperature & bake temperature combo for cookies, different doughs (lean, butter rich one, pizza) etc. From what I read those presets are not tweakable so it'll produce ok bread unless you want to customize for your own taste or start experimenting stuff.

Heck, Zojirushi makes a bread machine?

I can smell this picture; I love home baked bread. I agree with the sentiment.

If you want the exact same loaf every time its a good option. If you want something that's not a unitasker you're probably better off with a stand mixer.

I think my family had that same machine when I was a child.

Things like that have existed for quite a while...

Yes, because we all want to be bakers and work in restaurants.

Taking away the profit potential of a skilled labor task - especially labor skills that are difficult to obtain, is always going to be painful. Especially for those who earned their knowledge through blood, sweat, and tears.

In some ways it tell ls us the hard job was actually possible to make easy by doing it another way.

But when one door closes another door opens, right? .... Right...?

Ohh no, they can make croissant now?
