You might have just convinced me to buy a bread machine...

To add a similar answer, only in the past couple of years have I had a nice rice cooker (we have a Zojirushi) that keeps the rice fresh for ~12 hours. It is irreplaceable at this point (My wife is Asian and rice is a part of pretty much every meal.) Best appliance I have ever bought, gets used every. single. day. and have rice ready-to-eat throughout the day.

We bought a bread machine almost three years ago. Since then we are yet to buy bread in a shop. The machine is amazing. It literally takes 3 minutes to prep. No fancy recipe. Spoon of yeast + 400g flour + spoon of sugar + spoon of salt + 20g of butter + 280ml of water. Quick program and fresh bread is done in 2h.

Highly recommend it. I don't want to advertise but we bought a well known Japanese brand after a lot of research.

Please advertise! Genuinly curious.

Probably one of these: https://www.zojirushi.com/app/category/breadmakers

Only one you should consider the rest are junk

Zojirushi (which seems to be high quality as well) was mentioned but I went more mainstream and bought Panasonic SD-2511KXC. Looks like they don't make it anymore but there are similar ones available.

On my second Panasonic after over 15 years of making bread at home. Highly dependable and pretty much guaranteed a good loaf every time.

It also makes excellent pizza dough ...

"My wife is Asian and rice is a part of pretty much every meal."

Strangely, I am in a similar situation, and do not have a rice cooker. Time to go shopping.
