    What disaster? Have you never used a bread machine? You throw all the ingredients in, press the button, a few hours later you have bread.

      ofc I have. Even IF it doesn’t splash any flour out the side due to shifting of flour in the early stages, the ring of glue inevitably left on the bowl and the attachments requires cleanup. Have to split/prep the kneaded dough into loaves? How you do that? On a floured surface. With fries you rinse the knife, mandolin and bowl in water and wipe dry. You arguing this is even close is ridiculous.

            So not all that trivial since you need to put the oil in some sort of disposal container, hope it doesn’t spill so you don’t have to clean that up, then drive it to an oil reclamation site.

            Think I’d rather make bread.

              It’s also, (what a surprise), not at all related to the original statement which was about making the frozen fries. However you cook the fries (deep fryer, air fried, baked) is not part of the discussion on store bought vs. homemade

                Well then how you bake the bread is also not part of the discussion and there are all kinds of mess-free ways to use a bread machine. Don’t spill anything and put the stuff in the dishwasher. The end. How do I know? I’ve literally done it dozens of times.
