Hi W1, is your inverter pure sine wave(psw) or modified sine wave(msw)?.Some  appliances due to design and electronic control systems  do not like msw,they will just buzz and vibrate on msw. cheers Peter.

Hi W1 ,probably the best thing to do,is try the bread maker on another inverter (PSW)the next time you can access one .See what the results are,i think you will find it will work for a while until the batteries become discharged.(it will be a heavy load on batteries once the element kicks in ) cheers peter

We run a bread maker on a 1300W PSW inverter in the OKA.
Uses about 30Ah to bake a loaf and draws a max 40A (approx) at 12V.

Cheers,
Peter

 That OKA must be a power station on wheels!

 600W of solar and 460Ah of house batteries helps :)

 

Cheers,

Thanks Peter, Jim and Dorian for all your help, don't know if I could survive without my crusty home cooked bread!

 It's not going to be easy!  Last year I stayed for several weeks on an unpowered site at a campground that fortunately had power available in the laundry (I use the term loosely as there were no machines but several power points).  I snuck the breadmaker over to the laundry at night, put it on timer, and collected it next morning.

Whatever you do don't inflict your tastebuds with that mushy crap that purports to be bread that's sold in supermarkets! Vietnamese owned bakeries often do nice bread (they were taught by the French).

Jim

PS: I use good quality breadmaking flour (quarter white, three quarters wholemeal) and no improver additives. I have used Lauke mixes and find these make nice bread.

Hear hear Grams. And the man power needded to knead it will warm you up at the same time. Makes good thin pizza bases too.

If you make it the old fashioned way, you wouldn't need to use a bread maker. To make it rise, put it in a baking dish, cover with a tea towel and put it in your car with all the windows up (in the sun of course) and just bake in the oven after. Makes better bread than those bread makers.

 How often do you do this? Every day? Every second day?

Jim, just whenever I feel like doing it. I buy bread sometimes, and make my own others.

Hi all, well Grams, I've done it both ways but once you get the hang of using a decent bread making machine you'll wonder why on earth you put yourself to so much trouble when they can turn out a very superior loaf.  I always use Laucke bread mix and swear by it - so like jimricho, if I have to wait until I have access to a power point on site then so be it!  Besides I have an intense dislike of putting my hands into dough, ughh.  

Thanks Trotsky, for that little insight, I'm sure when the inverter was installed that I insisted that the wiring was the correct gauge for just this reason, but not knowing about such things, I don't know if it was done.  I will definitely talk to my auto sparky about this when I see him later this week.

it's a tongue in cheek motto!

Hint: "merda tauris" alludes to the output of the rear end of a male bovine!

 I have a very good bread maker collecting dust in my cupboard. Yes it's easier to make the bread, but I hate the taste of bread made from these machines. I prefer the taste of proper bread made by hand.

Latin grammar is somewhat different to modern English. It's 55 years since I did Latin at school and even then it wasn't my strongest subject so I could stand corrected by a Latin scholar.

It's usual in Latin for the verb to go at the end of the sentence. There are no pronouns in Latin but the verb changes its ending instead, this is called the conjugation of verbs. Whether a noun is the subject or object of a sentence is indicated by the the ending changing rather than its place in a sentence as in modern English. This is the called the declension of nouns. I suspect that I may have scientia wrong and perhaps it should be scientium (from scientia). Jeeze! I'm bloody rusty here so you'll have to excuse me if this is not 100% kosher!

Tauris is from taurus meaning bull (literally) however as it's used in the possessive case (eg "of the bull" or bull's) its spelling changes to tauris. Merda doesn't change and yes it's not the politest word for you know what. The French language word "merde" comes from this, as does Italian "merda". A direct translation to English would be represented by asterisks on this forum so you get the idea!

OK it loosely translates to "bulls**t beats knowledge"!

Please don't get the idea I'm some sort of language scholar as this post contains almost my entire knowledge of French and Latin!

Jim

PS: this post alone should justify the motto!

We had another favourite back in the radio workshops in the 70's... "Stercus non potest poliri" Most of the equipment we worked on was very very ancient....
