I use mine almost daily. I have since bought additional attachments for the mixer that I enjoy too.Garden Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560748179792613782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-77746702650208539202010-06-30T08:26:56.808-04:002010-06-30T08:26:56.808-04:00I want to get a mixer like that for when we retire...I want to get a mixer like that for when we retire. I too have a hand held one, that sometimes shuts off in the middle of being used. the buttons are tempermental.<br /><br />And I just put my bread machine up on top of the cabinet. It's not consistent in it's baking, and it needs yet another paddle because the coating is coming off. And I can't buy just a new paddle. I don't want to replace it again. I think A new mixer like yours, along with a new stove for the farmhouse, and I'll be baking bread like my grandmother did. :)LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-72635715688552846182007-02-05T14:33:00.000-05:002007-02-05T14:33:00.000-05:00The length of time it takes to develope a starter ...The length of time it takes to develope a starter will depend on the availablity of the wild yeast and the room temperature so it is difficult to give an actual time. If you are seeing a few bubbles and your mixture smells slightly sour but your room temperature is cool, try sitting the container in warm water. I like to stir my starter a couple of times a day to keep the houch (liquid layer) mixed in. I've heard of using ingredients like potato flakes or milk in starters but prefer to make mine in the traditional flour/water only and rely on wild yeast. However, I have seeded mine on occasion with dried starter from a previous batch. I keep a well supply of dried starter on hand because my husband likes to help clean out the fridge and has tossed more than one container of sourdough starter!Garden Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560748179792613782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-14818248941432225842007-02-03T18:00:00.000-05:002007-02-03T18:00:00.000-05:00Dear Mrs. Gnome

How long do you allow for the wild yeast to find your starter???<br />Have you ever used dried potato flakes for starter food?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430514798587305904noreply@blogger.com
