Charlottechicken Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have just looked at the latest Lidl offer leaflet and they have a breadmaker on sale from 4th February. It is their own brand so I'm not sure of it. They also have lots of other kitchen gadgets including one of those chefs blowtorches, and an egg cooker that cooks 7 eggs at the same time!

Egluntyne Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Are you going to resist? I think it would qualify as an essential purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have had a Lidl breadmaker it was one with two bread pans which meant that you could make one white one brown loaf at the same time. It worked very well for a cheap machine but because I used it daily the pans began to lose their non-stick and one of them leaked water a little around the paddle which meant that i couldn't leave it on timer. I used it for over a year and if you just want a play with a breadmaker but are unsure how much you would use one then it is a good buy if it is the same one that I had.

Charlottechicken Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Are you going to resist? I think it would qualify as an essential purchase. I have one of those cheap breadmakers from Argos, it was £24 last year. I haven't bought a loaf of bread for about 6 months The Lidl brand is Bifinett, not sure if that is the same as the one chickencam bought, but nice to hear from someone who has one from Lidl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsCube Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Oh Im thinking I must go and get one of those blow tourches, I have always fancied one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 That's the same as my cheapo one (from superdrug a while ago). it works perfectly well, although every so often you have to soak the pan in water to get the paddle moving again as bread mix gets under it. We love the bread, and the timer function is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've already got a breadmaker, but my microwave is a Bifinett from Lidl - no probs whatsoever, very reliable and about 3 years old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 this sounds a good offer - contemplating getting a breadmaker (see breadmaker thread). Might be worth getting as it's only £24.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 These threads have inspired me to plug my breadmaker in again (been a bit neglected of late). I found some bread mix in my cupboard - ever so slightly out of date (14 months) So I chucked it in to see if it would work. It didn't rise very well at all, but did make quite a tasty, stodgy loaf. But teenage son, who is constantly hungry, loved it! He's been eating it all day! Yay - I actually still have some food left in the fridge!

hillfamily Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Just been to our lidl and they haven't got any I asked if they had any and was told that different areas have different offers. Checked their leaflet aswell and no sign of a breadmaker - this week they got steam irons and laundry items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
