5 surprising things you can make in a bread machine
Many people use the bread machine for the purpose it was intended for – to make bread. It turns out you can make more than just that, if you’re adventurous enough. According to MNN, there are 5 dishes you can make in a bread machine.
1. Rice
Although it takes a bit longer than making it on a stovetop, rice made in a bread machine has the great advantage of not needing any attention when cooking. The method works only for the bread machines that have a bake-only function.

2. Jam
Most newer bread machines have a jam setting that people often forget about. It is the perfect setting if you want to make a small batch. The jam can be made with or without pectin and in an hour and twenty minutes of unsupervised cooking time, it’s ready.
3. Hot dips
The jam setting can be useful for more than just jam. It can be used to make warm creamy dips. After around 10 or more minutes of preparation time, the dip is ready in an hour and twenty minutes.
4. Tomato sauce
Certain recipes can come out thin, but adding tomato paste can help thicken the sauce up. The tomato sauce can be customized with any ingredients. Bruised tomatoes at the farmer’s market that are marked down are ideal for use.
5. Meatloaf
