Muppet81 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 It may be worth trying a cake without a liner or greaseproof. My experience so far shows that the cakes are fine without either. What type do you have Claret? is yours a panasonic too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet81 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Sorry Claret. I have just re-read your post. I don't think you are talking about a breadmaker at all. Oops! I got the wrong end of the cake there Just ignor me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I bought some teflon baking sheet liner and cut it up to the right sizes for my pans. Then I can just wash them up and re-use them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type do you have Claret? is yours a panasonic too? That's ok, have the Panasonic bread maker - the loaves turn out easily from that pan, but I've never used it for cakes - I use my old Kenwood Chef mixer and have to line the loaf tins. I am going to buy some of those liners from Lakeland, but I might just check our local hardware store first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Clare, funny enough I need some more the other week. I spotted some by chance in town in the health food shop opposite boots. Can't think what it's called. I paid £2.99 for 50 which was cheaper than Lakeland. They have the loaf tin ones as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 We've really been using our breadmaker a lot. It was a present one christmas from Joe's mum and dad and we LOVE making our own bread. It's a fairly simple Morphy Richards but we've had no trouble in three years and I love to make my own "best of both" loaves. Instead of the 4 cups of white flour, I swop one of them for a wholemeal flour (all tesco's/sainsbury's own brand organic bread flour) - getting into making my own sandwich fillers too - like the ones we used to buy at tesco's. Really liked their red leicester, cheese and bacon - dropped the bacon bit as we're going veggie and grated 3 cheeses in the processor and mixed it up with some healthy living bio yoghurt. Tastes yum! I make a loaf every other day btw and use the machine to make dough for rolls and pizza bases - only ever using the recipies supplied with the machine. Can't beat the smell of bread though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Ooooo I feel all inspired to go and get myself a bread maker. I never realised they were so reasonably priced. Am sure OH and the kids would love fresh homemade bread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Neither do I! As for cakes coming out of tins, heres a tip I picked up from a Jamie Oliver programme. Whatever you're making, butter and then flour the cake tin/tart tin etc. I know it sounds basic but honestly, I do this whenever I bake , and have not had a cake stick yet (or anything pastry either).

theherd123 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Im currently in therapy after being given a bread maker as a wedding present 3 years ago. Good luck to all you break maker owners out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well Amazon were absolutely brilliant and our breadmaker arrived on Friday. I have made 3 loaves and a batch of rolls since then (another loaf cooking tonight). We are thrilled with it. I've managed to fit it into my tiny kitchen very nicely, we just can't use the kettle at the moment! But who needs hot drinks in this weather?!

Sheilaz Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 But who needs hot drinks in this weather?! I do! Couldn't be without a kettle. But I'm pleased to hear the good report of a breadmaker. I'm going to re read this thread & think about getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 My coffee machine still works though! But after the morning coffee, I mostly drink water. Occasional herbal teas are good, but I can manage without a kettle most of the time! Hopefully getting an adaptor plug today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who needs hot drinks in this weather?! I keep mine under the work surface and just lift it up on top when I need to use it. I haven't used to dough option for rolls yet, but love it to bits. Even my mother was impressed when she stayed last week - and she hates cooking/baking. Try getting some omega seeds (pumpkin, sunflower and linseed) from Julian Graves or the supermarket and putting them in the nut dispenser. My fave loaf has these in, plus a bit of spelt flour too.
