In the former French colonies it is superb, in the former British colonies it is edible. Once or twice when becalmed we baked bread, but that was in a pressure cooker on the stove top.

The magic is called a breadmaker. Ours requires a 2 hours and 52 minutes to perform. When we cruise the inverter is powered by the alternator and if the run is 6 hours it means 2 loaves of bread. At anchor we use the house bank of batteries. The amp draw is 400 watts and very intermittent so the batteries don't get hit to hard. We cruise for two months in the Bahamas every summer and leave Florida with two loaves of bread in the freezer for emergencies. We have sandwiches every day--Delicious... Time for lunch.......

Paul, et. al., <snip> How would you make bread without an oven?</snip> A breadmaker is the best way to go, less power, less heat, etc. We make it while underway, and power the breadmaker from our inverter. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Anne & Henri Monnier m/v Sea Flat (50' Ocean Alexander Trawler) sea_flat@mymail.com http://www.seaflat.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
