Bread machine rec? [View all]

I have this wonderful new Instant Pot & have decided to try to find a readonably priced bread machine to round out meals.

I primarily want to make Italian and northern (sweet, cake-like) cornbread.

I would like to keep the cost under $125.

I've read lots of reviews & the ones that initially look / sound like viable oprions end up not being so for various reasons.

The lower end Oster ($70ish) looks good, but the flat top coupled with the design apparently causes center of loaf to stick to lid.

Anyone have one that works well, relatively quietly, with little to no walking off the counter?

TYIA!

Even if you don't do the no-knead method it's still easy if you have a stand mixer Major Nikon Jan 2021 #19

I had a bread machine. I used it for a few months and haven't since Major Nikon Jan 2021 #33

My success with my bread machine is to use the dough selection only and finish off in the oven. Yes katmondoo Jan 2021 #3

That's what I do, too. All my appliances are zojirushi because I love that brand, so that's the LiberalLoner Jan 2021 #7

I've looked at that brand. SheltieLover Jan 2021 #12
