I was looking for a cheap bread machine during Covid-19 crisis and all were sold out. I finally found this multi cooker and am so happy I did. I use it for making bread, slow cooking, steaming veges, rice and although I don't normally deep fry things I tried the deep fry function once and it worked well. I use packaged bread mix which comes in 4 x 600gm packs. This size loaf is too big for the little bowl, so I recalculated and use 400gm and it works perfectly, which also gives me 6 loaves per pack.
