This darkened tin beauty is in very good condition and measures 9 ½” high with a top diameter of 12”. The directions for the use of this bread maker are stamped on the top lid - “Put in all liquids first - then flour - turn 3 minutes - raise in pail - after raising turn until dough forms a ball - take off cross piece - lift out dough with kneader.” Advertisements from the period state “The process of kneading with this machine is thoroughly scientific and sanitary. It makes no difference what kind of bread flour is used. Results are always the same - better bread. Directly opposite to hand kneading is the work of the Universal. In hand kneading the particles of flour are necessarily pressed together, and the liquid does not thoroughly moisten each particle of the starch granules, while with the bread maker these particles are lightly held apart until thoroughly wetted and kneaded. The Universal Bread Maker was awarded a gold medal at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. |
