        On my way, Jenny .... (you need an "official tester" ... I'll sacrifice myself ... things can turn very quickly in this heat)

          That is very noble of you @"M" - maybe I should give you a lift to Jenny's, and help out with the testing duties; after all, its only right that I should share the burden of a good friend. :snork:

            Thank you kindly, Sir, you are a true gentleman. Yes of course I will appreciate a bit of chauffeuring and the saying stands true: a burden shared, is a burden halved.

            Now, Jenny, directions please :wub2:

              @Sheal - try and treat yourself to a Panasonic one, they really are the best going; once you get used to waking up to the smell of a freshly baked wholemeal loaf, you won't look back :)

                I'm surprised at you, Sheal! In your shoes I would have kept it and still used it for the "dough" setting (finishing it off in the oven: well, if the oven was on anyway, cooking other things - fuel economy and all that :heehee: )

                You say that, FC, but the bread machine I bought was a never-heard-of-before brand, cost less than £15 in a Wilko's sale, back in 2005 and is still churning out great results. I think a Panny costs way more than that?

                  Aye, the Panasonic ones are easy £70 upwards; the trouble with the other ones seem to be that they are really hit and miss - if you get a good one like yours, you are cooking with calor, but you could just as easily get a bad one that is little more than useless.

                    Jenny, your Ciabatta looks good enough to eat! :biggrin:

                    FC, I can't treat myself to anything at the moment, no income, no budget I'm afraid! I scraped around to find the cash for new secateurs this last week.

                    "M" you're forgetting I hate cooking, I wasn't prepared to keep the machine for half the job done! :)

                      Good point: well presented! But, technically (aka splitting hairs here :heehee: ) it still wouldn't constitute 'cooking'. More of a slap-in-machine; slap-it-out-again; pop-in-oven-wait ... voila! But, yes, it's the counter/cupboard space issue when all said and done (dust gathering monstrosity/waste of space: ditch it! :nonofinger:

                        We are on our second Panny as a friend who only used hers a couple of times asked me if I wanted it so as ours was looking a bit worse for wear said yes straight away on the condition she never brought me a Xmas prezzie last year to pay for it.:snork:

                        We love our breadmaker,or should I say Mr Kandy loves ours as it is a gadget he can play with so I am happy to eat what the machine makes after he has weighed out all the ingredients and pressed all the buttons:biggrin:We/he has never made anything too fancy in it and the only thing about it I don't like is the fact that the bread dries out too quick but at least it isn't full of all those preservatives that the shop bought ones are full of:biggrin:
