Never used one. I have pretty good luck with a regular old electric oven. I baked a loaf the other day using the recipe on the back of the Gold Medal flour bag but substituting the broth from a pot roast for the water. Talk about tastey.
But what am I doing talking about bread with you people???
I don't know... sharing life experiences so that others might benefit, interacting in a rational manner. It could be any number of things.
Gold Medal is crap flour btw, Pioneer, if you can get it, is milled in San Antonio, and I've been to the mill. That's the good stuff.
