RC45 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 We got one bought for us and we never use it now, you can set the timer so it's baked for when you get up in the morning. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Bin rolling me own bread for years now-dont be temted to buy anything other than Panasonic-they work well and spares are easy to get on the bay.Aldi and such companies dont carry spares so after the bearing in the bread pan seizes up (most do sooner or later) the machine is no good.Only buy one if its for taste-if you think it will save you money then think again.Learn to use the machine and find out when the mixing cycle has finished and baking is about to start-push the dough to one side and remove the paddle(s) so you dont get gaping gashes in the bread-it also makes it easier to remove the finished loaf from the tin.Dont forget to spread the dough back to a roughly level lump.Its not uncommon to find that your first 2-3 loaves are rubbish-dont give up.If you push any mixture that sticks to the tin back down on the initial mixing cycle you will reap the benefits-use a wooden tool.Good luck.

DaveK Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 One can't beat getting ones teeth around a nice pair of buttered baps. Yes German ones are nice but a wee bit crusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
