Breadmakers

Can you recommend one?

And do you use yours a lot?

Any of the panasonic ones, I use mine a couple of times a week but that's because I dont eat loads of bread, a loaf and a batch of rolls is plenty for me.

Dh only eats sliced bread.

Morphy Richards , I use mine every day. Also has 2 year guarantee.

Yes I love ours. We go through phases of using it more and less but it's so so easy and makes really delicious bread. I reckon on average we use it once every ten days.

Oh, and we haven't bought shop-made pizza since we got it, because pizza made from bread machine dough is so so so much nicer.

Thanks. Will have a look at both makes.

Panasonic one- use it a lot including for cakes (does fantastic tea loaf) and brioche.
Am wary re gadget purchases but this one been great

Panasonic here, used every day by DH.

I started a thread a while ago and virtually everyone recommended the expensive Panasonic one (£140). I've researched them loads online and this does seem to be the only one that gets consistently good reviews.

Panasonic, at least once a day, twice in the summer.

Panasonic - mine is about 12+ years old and gets used about 5 times a week. Love it!

I'd like to put mine in the cupboard, but it's out more than it's in. It does take about 5 hours to do a loaf from start to finish, so bear that in mind if you work full time. You'd need to put it on at a reasonable time. We tend not to leave our bread in the machine once it's done as we thought it shrunk in the steam when left in.

Panasonic here also. Love it, never had a bad loaf.

I use the rapid programme which is 1 hour 55 minutes for a white loaf.

We've had a Panasonic for over 10 years. For the ordinary daily loaf we bake overnight - put the timer on and it finishes cooking when we get up - so we wake to a lovely aroma of bread.
It is also good for pizza dough, focaccia, brioche and other speciality breads.

Panasonic here too. When we were pondering the choice in a well known department store another customer walking past just said ' We have the Panasonic and would highly recommend it' and then carried on walking!

Used here at the weekend mainly and I put the mix in on the timer and wake up to fresh baked bread aroma. Can recommend the Hovis Granary bread mix too.
