who ?
Oh , there is a stir fry setting , but that is a lot of smoke .
And I don't know why .
I .
I don't I don't like that .
I did not expect it to go like this .
If I hear the fire brigade , I guess I'll head home .
Hello , everyone .
It's Barry here .
I hope you are .
Well , do you remember that Bud Aldi fryer Tuck Genuinely .
This cost me £9 that I've been using recently in videos .
It's an absolute bargain .
It's only a mini fryer , but it is stonking .
I was in Aldi the other night , buying my fruit and veg , and I stumbled upon Oh , this is by the same brand .
It is a £49 breadmaker , and it doesn't just make bread as hopefully we'll discover during this video .
Now , as this is my first rodeo with a bread maker , I'd like to review other ones going forward potentially .
But this is just to see if it's any good , a lot like the fryer .
I will be giving it away on Patreon , but it is quite the beast indeed .
I mean , it's massive , but it's actually quite light , a little bit like how Andre , the giant came over when he kept getting like lifted by wrestlers half his size .
You guys like it when I chuck in wrestling references .
Basically , it's like it looks massive , but the , um , bread actually gets made in this sort of bucket thing .
Here .
It's literally that I mean , that does kind of look like a loaf of bread .
I just There's a There's a stump at the bottom , a few other bits as well .
It's like random thing .
Is that like a dough hook ?
Apparently , this doesn't go in there .
It's just literally , uh , this thing , which is called a K needing paddle straight on there like that .
Right .
So this thing is just called Hook , uh , which is for removing the needing paddle .
So it does give you this , like diagram here about the order to do it So you put your fluids first , then your flour , and then you put a little bump at the top of the flour to keep the yeast particularly away from the salt .
At first , what I didn't realise is that bread machines take absolute hours , so my plan is to get a first batch on , then go and walk .
Boston , which he's very excited about .
Hopefully come back to some more bread and then spend the rest of the day and potentially overnight , uh , making some interesting things .
Let's make some quick bread .
Here we go .
So I have got the liquid first .
Apparently , this is just gonna go right in like that .
Oil and some room temperature water .
Yep .
That's the salt .
This is a instant use .
3.5 teaspoons .
I've never used that amount before for bread .
And this is sugar , which we know yeast absolutely loves .
So we need to keep that well apart , so the salt and the sugar can go in .
And , um , this is 500 grammes of bread .
Flour ?
Yeah , I've just got some on the heating element .
I'm gonna have to clean that out .
Oops .
It does say to do it with it in position like this , but I think I'd rather have done this bit on the work surface .
Oh , yeah , I've got some flour in there .
Hang on a minute .
Let me get that out .
I'm gonna take my measuring spoon here and just make a little indent here .
A little island now , the yeast we could got like this little pocket for that to go straight into , and that is it .
So Lid goes down and there's all these settings , which I'll come to in a bit .
But we're going , uh , for number two , which is quick bread .
And I think we just pressed the menu button two .
Yeah , so it's gonna be two hours .
I'm not sure if you can see that .
And for such a cheap gadget , it's actually got , like , 507 150 grammes or 1 kg .
So we change the weight that's moved across to a kilo and added , just for an extra 250 grammes just five more minutes , and then it's got a colour setting , Uh , which is light , medium or dark , and I'm gonna go for dark for a nice brown crust .
So that is your crust setting .
If you want nice and light .
I don't know how it does that , and it could be a bit risky because I guess it's just based on the heating element , how hot that's gonna get .
And where is the crust cos all the heat's coming from underneath .
This is all new to me , and then we just press start , it's actually needing the dough .
Can you see that ?
Very , very reflective .
I don't know how much of that you can see .
Right ?
It started .
Hopefully , in two hours , we'll have some quick bread .
This machine , though , has 19 settings .
So you've got basic bread , quick bread , which is what we're doing , which is still two hours .
The basic bread was four hours Sweet bread when she's got milk , Uh , French bread , which for me , I'm not gonna do .
But it was pretty much identical , but just a little bit more oil .
The times were identical .
I don't I didn't I don't know whole wheat bread , which you might try basically because it's got this on the box .
And that's the closest to that .
And I'm like , How the heck are we gonna make it look like that ?
We'll worry about that later .
Rice bread , gluten free bread , dessert , bread , whatever that is .
There's a mixed mode .
There's a dough mode , which is pretty cool , I guess .
If you wanna make a a dough , there's a need setting , which is probably what it's doing now there's a cake setting .
Oh , yes , we're gonna make a cake in this thing jam We made jam recently .
I know we do it in a pan , but I could see how that would work .
A yoghurt setting .
We've had a yoghurt maker .
You can see how that would work .
A bake setting for baking anything sticky rice setting a rice wine setting to make your own rice wine a defrost setting .
And then finally , there is a stir fry setting .
And , of course , being And Barry , I I'm gonna get my bread maker .
I'm gonna make bread first of all .
And then , of course , the natural thing to do is to stir fry .
Can you see that ?
Some peanuts ?
What ?
I don't want to scare anyone , but it's now at the stir stage and there is a distinct smell coming out of that .
I think , though that is the heating element starting to work for the first time and emit that factory scent .
It does actually say that in the warnings .
Along with that , no one under eight should use this .
It's interesting to think that whilst I'm walking Boston , uh , that there's an appliance that I've not used for the first time , probably in the heating stage right now .
Uh , and hopefully there's no smoke alarms going off .
If I hear the fire brigade , I guess I'll head home all right .
47 minutes left to go , and it's just risen and almost hitting the screen .
And the smoke has returned quite intensely .
Um , I do .
It's not burning the dough because that's all still safely inside .
In fact , you might just see it from this angle , the the actual bucket .
But that is a lot of smoke , and I don't know why .
I , I don't I don't like that , Um , but there's no dough outside of the bucket yet to catch fire .
This is like I did not expect it to go like this .
We'll see .
We have got one minute or probably less than that left now , and it's still on the bake setting .
Apparently , after that , it drops down to the keep warm mode , uh , which we can optimally if we want Oh !
Oh , my gosh , that looks incredible .
Whilst that's been doing its thing , I've actually , uh , used another gadget we used recently the rice cooker to help with our rice bread .
I poured some rice and water in there , got it cooking away , and we need a little bit of that measured out and cooled down to one side to make rice bread .
And that is all of those things over there .
Got my wire rack .
Ready ?
Let's get that bread on it .
Ah !
Oh , blimey .
Yeah .
That that metal bit ?
Yeah , that's hot .
I've actually I've got Got it here .
It's like a space shuttle .
Wow .
Oh , I I don't mind .
It's It's not really made that much of a dent , but that's a loaf of bread .
Folks , I think it's definitely worked .
It's a little bit of scorched there , but it kind of made toast at the same time , So I'll let this fully cool on here .
I'll clean this out and we'll start stir frying and then get a slice of this .
It is Mode 19 , which is a default of 30 minutes , but we could actually increase it up to two hours .
I am not gonna do it for that long .
I just heard it go .
Oh , and again , peanuts roasting inside a breadmaker .
Well , I'll keep you posted .
Or should that be toasted ?
Look how hot that is .
That is light sabre territory , folks .
And you guys know I love back to the future .
Boston is the breadmaker .
Oh , they are slightly brown .
Mm .
Wow , that's real .
Mm .
It's definitely done .
It they've been worn through .
They've gone slightly sort of chalkier in texture .
But yeah , um , I just er fried some peanuts .
But anyhow , we have got the , uh , needing paddle thing back in .
So let's get that salt in the sugar , the oil and the water .
And then just like before adding in the cooked rice , some of the flour .
I'm gonna be a bit more confident with this now , cos we're doing not doing it over the heating element and then put that yeast in there a wallop in two hours and 45 minutes , we should have some rice bread .
Although there's one final setting , the first few ones are different breads .
There's a bit where you can start to add in fillings .
So I was tempted to add in the peanuts .
I've got some fruit we might stick some raisins in .
It'll beep when it tells us that .
So I just had to show you this .
It looks like a massive rice ball .
I mean , it is in a way , it's clever , isn't it ?
Yeah , it is charred That end , though , isn't it ?
Oh , the whole It is going quite way into it , isn't it ?
Look at that .
Oh , that's a good crunch on it .
Hm .
Oh , wow .
That is lovely .
Mm .
That is so light and airy , isn't it ?
Oh , that's so nice .
Yeah .
So fluffy and soft in the middle .
Mm .
Fresh bread every day .
Now , please .
That's Mrs Bee's lunch .
Mm .
I might have some rice .
Bread is flashing a look at that .
So that is raisin rice bread .
They didn't tell me to put the raisins in .
I just wanted to try the mix thing .
And it's worked quite well , to be fair .
Oh , wow .
That looks like a proper , like artisan style loaf .
So I'm gonna let that cool down .
I'll clean this out and then we'll get a cake on .
This is gonna be a cake that's made with yeast .
I don't think I've ever done that before , So you have three eggs and a fair bit of sugar .
We're gonna whisk this through until the sugar dissolves into the egg .
Some more oil , two tablespoons of water , then the flour .
Oh , and then we put the yeast in as well 12 is cake .
Two hours .
20 starting .
Uh , that's got two hours .
I'll let that cool down for another 20 minutes or so and try that , and we'll see what this cake turns out like , Oh , hang on a sec .
I've just gotta show you .
Look , it is like , proper cake batter .
Now .
I love how it's doing .
Everything , though .
This is beyond bread .
All right , The mix button just came on , so I'm gonna add in some more raisins .
I've only got a few left .
I was thinking that Oh , you put chocolate chips in .
Get in there .
Go on .
Anyhow .
Do you want some rice bread ?
A good crust on it .
Oh , that's good .
The reason I haven't sunk to the bottom .
Mm .
It's so weird .
Um oh , gosh , It's more gummy .
It's more stodgy .
I've got a bit of like I can feel it .
That might be the half a kilo of bread that we're eating today .
It doesn't really warrant having the raisins in now .
I don't think I like the Yeah , it adds a bit of sweetness , but the rest of it is is very savoury I'm finding .
I think that toasted with a little bit of on and a nice mug of English tea that would go down rather spiffing .
Anyhow , do you wanna join me again in about an hour ?
Time for some potentially .
Well , it's not cooked yet .
Chocolate raisin cake .
OK , one minute was just up .
Oh , my goodness .
Look at the state of that .
It is much more like bread than a cake .
Which is kind of what I was expecting in a bread maker .
To be honest with yeast , let some Let's get that out .
Come on .
But this is not wanting to move at all .
Brilliant .
Oh , my gosh .
It's proper welded to the sides here , folks .
Oh , here we go .
Oh , what the heck is that ?
Oh , no .
My paddle's in it as well .
It's actually baked into it .
Look , there is It doesn't look too bad like that .
Actually , we have got to get this out .
Oh , it's gonna be like an operation in itself .
That thing was spinning around so much , I think it screwed itself into the cake .
Uh , so here we go .
I think this just goes in at an angle and then we can Hey , there it is .
That is so hot .
Why is everything so hot ?
Oh , I know because it's an electrical appliance , but we have got that colour there .
I know it sounds a bit weird .
I still wanna taste it .
I'm gonna let it cool down and we'll have a little nibble .
Can we just give a shout out to this ?
This has been an absolute beast today .
It's like a loaf again .
Oh , is it like a loaf cake ?
You know , like a You know , you get like , banana bread .
Is it like like that ?
I mean , there's a bit of oil in it , but it doesn't look very moist like a banana bread .
It looks orange .
Very , very dense and quite dry .
That's heavy .
Put three eggs and a mountain of sugar went in , so it should be quite sweet .
It's gotta be sweet .
And you put the chocolate in .
I think it's like a so kind of malt loaf .
It's a bit rubbery .
You can taste the chocolate tastes like a chocolate car sponge .
That is no .
And that is one of the reasons I'm not pushing this any further in terms of doing the jam , All that stuff .
Well , it's to say a bet I love the idea of making a cake in this thing .
It's not your classic sponge .
Maybe that's it .
Maybe it needs a load of icing on it , but that wasn't why I bought a 40 quid breadmaker .
It's caught me out .
I'm like , Do you know what ?
I will see if I can do it .
And I some normally these things kind of work , All right , But I would fully say not to do that .
It's a bready cake .
It's a bready cake .
It is , but rice bread all day long .
That was nice .
Well , thanks for watching folks .
We're going to do one more test of this , but it's gonna be an overnight thing .
Um , we're gonna do the bread , so you wake up and it's ready .
So obviously there's no time on this .
You don't actually set it .
The only thing that could fail it would be if there's a power cut tonight .
After 10 minutes , it resets as a nine minute power cut .
We're gonna be all right .
Um , but what you basically have to do is it like it says in the manual like it's half past five .
Now , if we set it to 12 so 12 hours time .
That means that at half past five in the morning , it will be ready .
So if it's a four hour recipe , it will start at 1 .
30 in the morning with the 5 .
30 finish , if that makes sense .
Yeah , OK , so that's what we'll do as the bonus scene .
Uh , hope you enjoy this , But for 40 quid , this bread maker , I think it's I mean , we're gonna give this away to Patron , but I might genuinely get the same one .
Cheers , guys .
Uh , Mrs B , thank you so much .
Let's get this bread ready .
Problem ?
Yeah .
Nice .
Mrs .
Bee has chosen wholemeal bread and there was that , so Gosh , just a lot of sugar now .
Both the flowers .
Bread , flour .
Um , this is gonna be wholemeal bread .
So we're sticking in some wholemeal flour now , because on the box , it has got that lovely oy finish .
That is gonna be really hard to achieve .
Particularly as when we set this .
It might start early hours of the morning when we're asleep , and by the time we get out of bed , it might be like put the nuts in , or the fruit or in our case for this , It would be the oats we'll put a little bit in now , just in case .
All right , So , like , half of that ?
All right , so that's just in there to go in there .
Kind of like if we miss that fruit slot , which I think is highly likely .
All right , The yeast is going into our nice little pocket again , but yeah .
So what we do know is the weight is the full kilo , and it's going to be er , wheat .
So number five , that's four hours .
That is a four hour bake meat .
That's hopefully gonna be some good bread .
And do you want a medium crust ?
I think we go safe .
I think we go medium .
Just Yeah , it's quarter to six .
In the morning if we want it to have quarter to quarter to nine .
Would you like your bread ready for quarter to nine ?
OK , so that would be 12 15 hours , which is the maximum .
It does so in 15 hours we are gonna have the bread ready .
It'll still be warm , so we'll let it cool down , but that's gonna be awesome .
We're gonna wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread 11 hours from now .
When the circle starts is quarter to five in the morning .
If that wakes me up , if that wakes Boston up , he'll probably will be in our bedroom so he won't .
I'll try and nip out and drop in some more oats for that stirring .
But if I miss it , at least we've got some in there now .
So we'll see you in the morning .
And , uh , I'll leave the camera out in case his beeps wake me up .
But I think I think it'll do its thing .
And , um , I'm excited like being in a hotel .
Good morning .
Did he get woken by a breadmaker ?
I didn't either .
I even got the oats here left to be like , Oh , yeah , I'll put them in at five .
In the morning when it beeps and it didn't .
It has actually worked .
It's a little bit more gummy looking .
It's got one minute left .
And meanwhile , we've got some toast from the first bread we made yesterday .
Do you wanna try it , Clay ?
Oh , that sounds crunchy .
So this is coming out in about a minute and we will see Oh , my God .
But now do you wanna lift this up ?
OK , here we go .
Oh !
Oh , gosh .
That face does not look very good .
It's OK .
I was a bit like , Oh , it's risen up and obviously hit the screen again , and we put slightly less yeast in that it called for , but the main thing is , it stayed in the bucket .
It looks like it's got water in the middle .
Oh , and we've still got our whole See , that's the only thing I don't like .
Is that common with most breadmaker ?
Oh .
Mm .
Oh , wow .
That is really good .
Like light ?
Yeah .
Soft .
Mm .
The crust is brilliant .
Mm .
Wow .
So all in all , it might sound a bit obvious .
Probably don't stir fry in your breadmaker .
Maybe don't make a cake in it , But in terms of bread , 40 quid bargain .
So good luck to the patreon that gets that .
And , uh , that definitely gets our seal approval .
We're actually gonna make some French bread ourselves .
Now , I might show you very quickly what that turned out like .
And this should just Yeah , we go Look at that .
Ah , and the paddle is safe for the last 24 hours .
My house has smelled like a bakery .
OK , the nuts and cake aside that is probably one of the lightest in the areas that I've done in terms of how it feels .
Hm , that is gorgeous and the crust isn't too overpowering .
What an absolute bargain for 40 quid .
I know there's probably other bread makers that can do so much , and maybe I'll look into that .
But I've blooming enjoyed this .
It's been a long old session there , so it was useful .
Don't make a cake in it .
