Panasonic Breadmakers Tips and Quick Questions Thread

parsonswife8

I'm off to buy a breadmaker tomorrow.

Is the Morphy Richards fastbake okay as the Panasonic is out of my price range?

This one is rated 4.5 out of 5 stars on reviews on the Argos website.

I had a Kenwood machine and I just couldn't get on with it. It never seemed to produce a decent loaf so I got rid of it and got a Panasonic, much better.

Thanks I spotted it afterwards. I think I will get one for myself and hubbie for xmas need to work out the best deal now. Even with 20% off only slightly cheaper than Amazon though and I haven't factored in delivery either so possibly about the same. Comet can go through nectar for 6 points per £. Possibly amazon too, quidco maybe? I'll let you know what I find out in the end. Any one else better this price (around £86)?

I paid £78.29 click and collect in store or you get it with Free Delivery upt 5 working days at comet.

I am fairly new to all this having bought my panny in September, I use Tescos own flour & yeast almost daily and have had brilliant results each time (Well there was that one time I put double the amount of water in somehow and ended up with a sloppy brick! but that wasn't the flours fault.)

I did look in Costco, but it wasn't any cheaper and as I was happy with the quality from Mr T, I couldn't see a reason to change.

I use Waitrose malted brown for specials where I want to impress or to add a really filling side to a soup.

For white bread, I use Lidl flour and it's great - can't remember how much it is - think it's around 50p mark.

Dove yeast in the orange pack is brill as well.
