Functions of toaster and oven
Bread maker: Its main function is to make bread. Some people make dough with a toaster to save trouble. Indeed, the toaster and noodles are great.
Electric oven: You can bake cakes, roast chicken, barbecue and so on. It is suggested that the oven you start with should not be too small, which basically limits its excellent function.
Which is practical, toaster or oven?
1. If you can't make dough and have no extra time to study how to make bread, please choose a bread machine decisively! The bread machine can complete the problem of dough mixing, as well as the function of making an appointment, which can bring great convenience to your life. You can enjoy baking and learn the secrets, and then decide whether to buy an oven or not.
2. If you have some pastry basics and know how to mix dough, you can choose an oven. First, get familiar with the dough forming method and the making method of various western-style pastry proportions, and gradually improve the baking skills.
If you have a large kitchen space, plenty of time and are willing to learn baking, buy a toaster and an oven at the same time and study slowly.

If you really like baking and are determined to learn it well, I suggest buying an oven. Especially if you are interested in making bread, it is recommended not to buy a bread machine for the time being. Because you can knead the dough by hand, you can feel the process and different stages of gluten formation and the dough state after several fermentations through touch. It is impossible to learn how to make bread well. When you are familiar with the whole process of making bread, it is no problem to buy a bread machine. Although many bakers make bread recipes online, the temperature and humidity, the water absorption rate of various brands of flour and the water content of milk vary from place to place. If you follow other people's successful recipes, you may not succeed. Sometimes it is necessary to observe the dryness and wetness of the dough and increase or decrease the formula as appropriate. At this time, the experience accumulated in making bread by hand will come in handy.

If your interest is only eating bread instead of making bread, and you want to eat homemade bread at home at any time, then spend money on a better bread machine, and the success rate will be higher. I bought two toasters. The first one is made in China, 288 yuan. At that time, I wanted to use its kneading function to save myself effort (it takes 40-60 minutes to knead dough manually at a time, not only with arm strength, but also with waist strength). It takes 40-50 minutes for this machine to knead to the ideal state, and the effect is ok, but it is unknown that it is made of Shenma metal. If it is wet and not wiped off immediately, it will form corrosion marks, which is really cheap and not good. Later, the second toaster was made by Panasonic, which was very easy to use and had low noise. It takes 30-40 minutes to knead the dough to the ideal state. Although the bread made is not as good as handmade bread, it is almost the same. Most importantly, it is very convenient to ferment and bake dough without human intervention.
