Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Well done Claire You always seem to find a bargain I bet your bread tastes lovely I use my breadmaker every day, I didn't think I would, another gadget I make a 50/50 medium sized loaf and it does us all for sandwiches and a couple of slices of toast Post any nice recipes you find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I use my breadmaker every day, I didn't think I would, another gadget me too! We've had ours for 11 months now and I haven't bought any bread. I love it and it just part of our way of living now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I bought a Cookworks breadmaker There was a review of breadmakers in Which? magazine a few years ago (they may have done another since) and the winning machine was a Cookworks at £29.99 Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thanks for posting that Rob, I feel doubly and a little now . I just hope it lasts as long as an expensive one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I just hope it lasts as long as an expensive one If it only costs 1/3 of the price of a more expensive one to start with then you could have two of them wear out and still be in pocket Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 We started with a Prima - that cost very little and lasted around 5 years - we now have a Morphy Richards Fast Bake which was still not expensive and has lasted for 3/4 years. We use it around 5 times a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother is still using last weeks white loaf for toast, she says it is lovely . I hope I have bought my last shop loaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 You'll never eat shop bread again Claire I only had enough bread this morning to make Dan and the childrens sandwiches, so I had to buy a sandwich and it really was horrible You'll soon recoup the cost of your machine, mine has definitely earned its keep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once our two girls start producing eggs and we start building demand locally then maybe I can successfully argue for further Omlet housing products Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 The breadmaker is on again doing a 50/50 wholemeal/white concoction If your breadmaker has a timer function then there is nothing nicer than putting the ingredients for something like a cinnamon and raisin loaf in the machine the night before and then waking up to the smell of it gently baking.

Charlottechicken Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ta-Da! Cheap bread from a cheap breadmaker! I hard boiled some eggs so it's home made egg sandwiches for me for work!

Budgies Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Just a quick return to the breadmaker theme for anyone who's interested! I bought the Panasonic blah de blah one with the fruit and nut dispenser as recommended by so many lovely people on this forum! Here we are over 6 months later, and we use it all the time! The bread is amazing, so much nicer and more flavoursome than the shop bought cardboard tat! We've tried several of the different recipes, all of which have turned out well, and have a regular loaf that is our standard fayre. I would gladly give away my microwave, juicer, toaster or any other gadget, but never, never the breadmaker! Sue Budgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I don't use mine as much as I sued to with my parents there my dad won't use unsliced bread I do still make my bread in it though I just have a cheap Morphy Richards basic one but I am thinking about getting a different one as I love it so much but it makes very skinny but tall bread if that makes sense so I would prefer to get one with a better shaped baking tin any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Panasonic SD253 every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've got the famous Panasonic SD253 with the nut/seed/raisin dispenser - I've had it a couple of years now and it makes lovely seeded loaves - big fat ones. When I was shopping around, the cheapest I found it was on Amazon. It's not the cheapest breadmaker onthe market, but the quality is superb and it has a brilliant recipe booklet. I usually make a white loaf with local organic flour and loads of omega seeds (pumpkin, linseed and sunflower). The timer means that I can wake up to fresh bread in the morning. Shame you're so far away, or I'd lend you mine to road test. The raisin loaf is delish *Mmmmm* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
