So I couldn't help myself and puchased a shiney Panasonic SD255 breadmaker last night on the way home. Planning on "baking" my first loaf tomorrow...watch this space for feedback....

Over the weekend I knocked out two different loaves...a standard white, and a white crusty. Both were amazingly tasty and were demolished on the day!

The breadmaker came with a receipe book with around 30 different receipes, all seems very easy to make.

Next attempt is the 100% wholemeal, sandwich loaf.

Can we start a new thread for other products; I'm thinking of changing my daily moisturiser.

I use nivea

Ahhhh now I understand why BGG has sent me an email about bread machines & how nice it would be to have one. With a link to the Panasonic one too.

You lot are a bad influence – just please do not start talking about new cars & other expensive stuff

I make bread fairly often but don't use a bread maker. Just get a bread tin.

Results are the same. Make the dough the night before stick it in the fridge. Next day 30 mins in the oven and bread ahoy!

As he said.

Can't believe a bunch of IT contractors are talking about breadmakers......!!

Sheesh!!

It must be a slow day (or just a normal friday)!

This thread has really sold the idea to me. Nice one guys!

I wonder if there is one that can go in the dishwasher...

I imagine they're like toasted sandwich makers - Easy to use, but hellishly hard to clean, especially with sticky gloopy stuff like dough (or is that "do" if you're a septic?)

Ours is very easy to clean - just soak in warm water after use and then wipe away. Just don't use anything abrasive on the time that it gets cooked in otherwise it will scratch the inside and make it hard to get the bread out.

I was surprised at how little mess there was when we started using ours - none of the dough is left behind.

We bought one a while ago and it's been used twice. It now lives in the cupboard under the stairs along with all the other junk we bought but never used.

Depends what you buy... bread that stays fresh a long time or is very cheap is not good. But fresh-baked bread in their own on-site bakery, that goes stale in 1-2 days - surely that's loads better.

One word: Salt.
