Using dough from Breadmaker in loaf tins - what size to use?
I remember a while ago that a couple of posters use their breadmaker to make dough and then bake them in tins in the oven. I have a Panasonic Breadmaker, so if I were to do the same wanted to know what size loaf tins to use? I usually bake a large loaf in the breadmaker. Thanks.

When do you replace your washing up bowl?
My washing up bowl is looking very second hand - scratched, stained and the veteran of a lot of washing up. Part of me says that this cannot possibly be hygenic and think of all the germs in the scratches.
