Hi! It does honestly seem like you want someone to tell you it's ok to buy a second one...... I'm not going to ! Personally I wouldn't . Little bit of organisation and I'm sure you could eliminate the need for a second machine. Plus, the SPACE it takes up. I gave mine to a friends Dad as I make by hand now, and i have SO much room in my cupboard .

Would you really not let your daughters use the kenwood, even if you teach them how? That's quite er protective.:o

:eek:I honestly dont need permission from anyone regarding what i buy,genuinely wondering if it would be cost effective,time,labour and electricity wise and trying to be a little lighthearted about it--maybe lost in translation..in my mind,baking 2 loaves overnight isnt too unsimilar to people baking 4 loaves in one go in an oven(my oven aint good enough tho),and im not overprotective of my girls..just my kenwood:rotfl:seriously tho,the other is simpler to use,all cups n spoons,no weighing...crikey OH,might even be able to use it.
anyway,ive made my mind up im gonna get it....decision based on the fact that i have a £10 off E-code from Argos from their last promotion,and apparantly Argos may be doing their voucher promotion this week from Fri-Sun..which could bag me another £5 off voucher,and free delivery,at this rate il be getting it for next to nothing:rotfl:Anywa,apologies if my question has been innapropriate,thanks for the replies guys,wilstill use the tips about freezing etc,much appreciated.

You've totally misinterpreted me..... i was being light hearted about the "permission" and the whole thing really...... Enjoy your second machine.

And I meant you sounded protective of your machine...... not your girls!

Using two machines - compared to 4 loaves in an oven- not quite the same in my mind . Your oven would be on regardless of how many loaves you were cooking. Having two BMs going at once, is twice the electricity.

Just disregard my post altogether really !:o

I know I'm a bit late as you've probably bought one already but I'd have said the same, perhaps you could organise better to make loaves and freeze. For me I couldnt fit anymore in the kitchen cupboards:D.
Agree with Zippychick about twice the electricity/having the oven on.

Honestly I wouldn't buy another one - I make mine by hand more often than not since I found out about making no knead bread and hopefully Santa is bringing me the Artisan bread in five minutes a day book - can't wait :j

I really can't see the point of duplicate gadgets It's an environmental disaster, which can be avoided with a bit of organisation. Just my two pennorth - ignore if it's not what you want to hear
