Bread making machines

For goodness sake Jack ... take control and get a grip on things man!

 

I got mine for a tenner in a car boot sale from some people who were moving to America. It might be an LG. The paddle tends to seize up now from lack of use.

I used it lots in the first year but then went off it, now it only comes out about once a year to make pizza base. I wouldn't get rid of it, though. On the rare occasions I might be moved to make anything dough-based, like Chelsea buns, say- I can get it do do the boring messy bits.

Also, my diet changed from being extremely heavily wheat-based. (Toast for brekkie, sandwich for lunch, pasta for tea) to being more protein/ veg/ rice based. I was also a bit horrified by the amount of salt that had to go into each loaf. As it's impossible to slice the loaves thinly I would end up eating almost half a small loaf for breakfast/lunch, using up the day's 6gm salt allowance in one go, plus all the butter that I like to consume on toast. No, it had to stop!

 

Tesco's current price is £119.97 on the Panasonic. Ebay and Amazon have priced it at £94.99, but there'll probably be a delivery charge added to that. I'll have a look at prices here on the island before I make a decision.

 

My breadmaker gave up a couple months back, i dont use it much in the summer as i do in the winter.....mine was a Black and Decker, not sure if they carry that brand over there, but it's a well known kind here.

 

Yes I'd noticed they'd got both FC. Unfortunately delivery isn't free to the island because of the shipping costs.

 

It depends on the size and weight of the item. I was going to order a small item last week that would be sent in an envelope, the item's value was £12 the postage on it was nearly £7, so I didn't bother. But the cost of shipping larger items usually works out better than the smaller ones.

 

Here's one that was similar to the one i had....http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...WjGvXGDcjA5h16qOA&sig2=V4UFEzzXCou5wqFZny6Edw

 

I like this thread. But then again, I like making bread. This one's just popped out. 100 gram white and 200gram malted wholemeal. With different nuts and seeds.

 

Blimey Jenny, that looks a treat! BTW, does it have a girt big hole in the bottom?

 

It has a hole where the bread paddle went but the paddle came out cleanly.
Do you want a piccie of its bottom too?
Hurry up if you do - light's fading !!

No need to show me your bottom I too have a bread maker, but one of the things that kinda spoils it is the girt big hole in the bottom, as the paddle doesn't really come out cleanly...
