I had a craving for hard shell tacos. Stopped on the way to work and picked up what I needed. Got the meat cooking as soon as I got home. While it simmered I made the salsa. Salsa was made in the mini bowl of the Breville All In One.

@JoNorvelleWalker, I have space for the All in One accessories in a cupboard that I store, a few other small appliances. My issue is figuring out where to store the storage container for the Breville 16 Cup.

I used the dough blade the other day, but today I used the regular metal blade. Both work, but I like the metal blade better. But I believe it heats up quicker. And ignore my WHY. I misread your "enable".

Why?????

@lindag, keep it. I'm loving mine. I just mixed up two 700g batches of dough in 40 seconds each and I was at the end of a 44lb bag of flour with just enough left for a 377g batch , all at 63%. Will still do a few stretch and folds before leaving for work. I didn't think I would care about the digital timer. Can't imagine setting a time to process. But, I like the fact that it counts the seconds as I'm processing the bread dough. You don't want to go past 30 to 40 seconds or the dough heats up quickly. The Breville handled 700g of flour with ease, the machine didn't even shake, and also handled the smaller amount without issues. It is heavy. But that is a good thing. And it is easy to clean.

@JoNorvelleWalker, Well, the way everything is suppose to be stored is with the slicing blade under the bowl, and the main blade and the shredding blade in the bowl with the lid on. The potato masher, the motor and the blender standing up in the allot spots and the whisk lays down between the shoot and gear box on the lid. I choose to keep the shredding blade and the potato masher in a separate place and just store the whisk in the spot where the potato masher is suppose to go. Being lazy, I don't want to have to remove the shredder blade every time I want to use the FP. You might also want to get the mini bowl with lid. I use this one often when making bread crumbs or grating up parmesan cheese. I have found most of their parts/accessories, not to badly priced.

@ElsieD, my Breville All in One gets used daily. The small bowl acts like a mini FP. You would probably love the All in One. Especially , because there is no heavy base to lift. And all of the attachments work great. And the immersion blender motor is strong enough for just about everything, including as I found out today to knead bread dough. But, I'm glad that I did buy the 16 Cup Pro. Even if I never used it for anything else, I will continue to use it for the initial mix for bread dough.

But this is just the All in One and powered by the immersion blender. Wasn't expecting it to handle the dough like a 1200 watt FP. Pleasantly surprised.

I've had the All in One for 8 years and never tried making a dough in it. So, I decided this morning it was time to give it a test. Just never thought to use it for dough. Went with my basic recipe adjusted to 300g of flour, 1 g of yeast, 7 g of salt and 190g of water. Just out of the machine. I was surprised at how easily the machine handled the dough. Although, not sure I would go much higher than 300 g of flour. After 2 stretch and folds. Told Matt that he can have it make a pizza. He can either leave it out and make a pizza later today or stick in the fridge for a day or two.

I'm a big fan of Breville small appliances. Besides the All in One and the new Food processor, I also have their hand mixer and the Breville Pressure Cooker. Their counter top ovens get great reviews. But I have two CSOs so I don't need another countertop. BUT, if they ever come out with a steam oven, I might be tempted.

@JoNorvelleWalker, I've only sliced hard salami on it, not fresh sausage. But a dried chorizo should be okay. I did slice a leftover steak on it as well. At the time I bought mine I was also in the market for a new immersion blender and that is how I ended up with the All in One. Funny, I had never tried the mashed potato attachment until recently. I found that after the accident using the potato ricer was uncomfortable so I tried the masher. It is quick and easy. I tend to put my potatoes back in the pot when I drain them and let them dry a bit on the burner before adding butter and cream or milk, and I mash right in the pot so I haven't found that they get cold. The little bowl is great for chopping larger quantities of garlic, or making bread crumbs and grating up parmesan cheese. I cracked the small bowl once so I ordered a replacement and while i was at it I backed up a few other parts just in case. Their prices for accessories I found to be reasonable. I haven't tried mixing a dough using the All in One. Will be interested in your experience.

Pulled Chili out of the freezer for Moe's breakfast.

I do prefer a milder sourdough flavour. Pulled the other dough out of the fridge that had been in there since Tuesday morning. Baked this morning. One boule and one baguette. Baguette baked in the CSO from start to finish and the Boule on a stone in the oven covered by a big roasting pan lid, rather than in a DO.

More halibut on the menu tonight. Pan seared and finished in a hot oven. Served with browned butter with lemon over sauteed spinach.

That is one beautiful loaf. Did you find it mildly sour or very sour?

I've been using the different blades that came with the Breville Sous Chef 16 cup Food Processor. Today I tested the slicing blade on last night's leftover roast beef. Took all of 2 seconds to slice what was left of the roast. Made Moe a sandwich for breakfast on one of today's baguettes. .

@PatrickT, thank you for sharing the buttermilk recipe. Your bread turned out great. Nice crumb. Tuesday morning I used the new food processor to do the preliminary mix for two 600g batches. Each with 1 g of yeast, 15g of salt and 375g of water for a 63% hydration. I still do the autolyze, stretch and folds over the next hour or so before putting them in the fridge. Took one out last night and left it on the counter from 8:00 PM until 4:00 AM this morning. The mornings are a little cooler so slow to rise and proof. Shaped and baked. Started in the CSO on the bread setting and transferred after 10 minutes to finish in the big oven. I have roast beef leftover from last night's dinner so Moe is going to have a roast beef sandwich on baguette for breakfast.

@Marlene, I love your little bear. Sterling Silver top sirloin roast for dinner tonight. Presalted it early in the day and roasted at 500°F for less than 30 minutes. Pulled from the oven at 116°F and left to rest while the Yorkshire Puddings baked. Served with all our traditional sides. Very simple dinner, but one of our favourites.

Greek tonight. I was first introduced to Greek food, when Moe and I first got together almost 50 years ago. Toronto had and still does a very large Greek population, many first generation, and an area on the Danforth called Greektown. So many wonderful restaurants. I love lamb and the way it was served. I made lamb shanks tonight with Greek potatoes, green beans, rice and Greek Salad. We don't have Greek Restaurants in our area so I have to cook it myself.

Moe requested scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Revenge toast. That is funny. I always request well toasted toast and I don't even care if it is slightly chard. Halibut Fish and Chips on the menu again tonight. Light crisp tempura style beer batter. Love having a freezer full of halibut. I used the Julienne blade on the new Breville food processor to make shoestring fries. Takes one second per potato to process. OPPS!!1 Sorry, this should have been posted to the dinner thread.

After looking at Marlene's smoked turkey, I'm going to see if I can get a small turkey and smoke it on my days off. Pizza Night!!!! Dough had been in the fridge since Thursday night for a long cold fermentation. Italian sausage and mushrooms.

@Marlene, so nice to see you back posting. Hope you will hang around.

Moe's dinner. Grilled Scallops on a bed of broccolini with sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and hot red pepper flakes.

So Breville has it in stock? It looks like the Canadian Breville website also has it in stock. They might ship to the US.
