I learned to bake bread as a child in my mother's kitchen, equipped with all these amenities. I made some fantastic bread.

I tried it again as a young adult in a small apartment with no dishwasher, a tiny sink, mixing the bread entirely by hand, kneading it on the one corner of a counter not occupied by the microwave, then hand-washing the mixing bowl in a sink with a non-spray faucet while the dough rose before baking it in a cheap oven from 1992.

My apartment was not shitty. Many American adults are currently raising their children in equivalent apartments... more bedrooms, no significant kitchen space, no tools.

A kitchenaid mixer is 1/4 of a month's rent for most.

"Three baguettes in under three minutes" ignores every externality involved in the process.
