@Ketki R S, hi where specific location you rent in enterprise in las vegas?

@Roti Making Machine, I’m probably represent a small minority of the population that purchased one of these. I bought it for myself, I’m male and I’m of Swiss, German and Irish decent. I just happen to like a large variety of foods here in Iowa and the nearest Indian restaurant is an hour away in Cedar Rapids.

I stumbled across a used machine in a second hand store and had no idea what it was for so I looked it up. The price was cheap compared to buying one new and I took a gamble and bought it for a little more than $300.00 dollars.

I filled it with whole wheat flour, water and oil and guessed at a comparable flour to the grocery store flour I had on hand. I hit the start button and it went to work making me an interesting bread that seems so simple I wondered why my entire life I had bought all my flour taco shells and wraps finished.

I figured I’d start with 4 shells since that’s about how much taco filling I had cooked up and quickly realized this thing can pop out bread faster than I can eat it! It’s not the Naan breads I’m familiar with, it’s closer to a flour taco shell but that’s fine with me. I’ve also tried mixing half all purpose flour with whole wheat and found the bread came out softer and closer to a store bought wrap style bread.

The Indian restaurant in Cedar Rapids has an Indian grocery store attached and I’ll be picking up some of the recommended flours and ghee the next time I’m near there. I’ve seen the products in their store but didn’t really know what they were for until I read up on this style bread.

I use this machine daily as I love fresh hot breads and have run about 10 pounds of flour through it so far.

Was it worth $300.00 dollars? Yes! Is it worth the price people have to pay for a new one? I’m a family of one so at retail price I doubt I would have purchased one. I can see this machine being worth the full price if I still had kids in the house. They would have loved making tacos and wraps and mini pizzas as well as Indian samosas and other favorites.

Anyone that’s made anything with flour and a mixer knows the flour has a way of getting everywhere and there’s always cleanup afterwards. The Rotimatic manages to keep most of the mess contained to three removable parts which really are simple to clean if you do it after your meal. If you let it sit too long the flour mixture sticks a little more to the parts but it’s still a simple cleanup.

Maybe I’m being paranoid but I have not ever connected mine to my wifi. I have heard of problems that may be related to updates so I’ve taken the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach and won’t be hooking it to the internet unless I feel there’s some software improvement I can’t live without.

Now that I know what these machines are for and have used one, I keep an eye out for another 2nd hand unit for one of the kids that are living on their own now. I’ve seen a few others on Ebay but they are usually asking even more than the $300.00 I paid.

What got me to this thread? I was looking to see if anyone’s tried potato flour in a Rotimatic. I love potato pancakes and potato breads but it looks like I may have to experiment on my own to see if I can come up with a rolled out dough I can drop into the frying pan full of oil.
