Given a breadmaker, no spoon measures

Swan_2

it's a MR 48261, quite an old model I believe, but as I don't have access to a cooker & oven just now it's going to be lovely to have HM bread again, along with the HM soup from my SC

anyway, it's got the measuring cup with it but the Tablespoon & teaspoon measure is missing. I've always hand made my bread, so it's going to be very interesting seeing how the two compare & I don't want to mess it up with incorrect measures, so can anyone with a MR model tell me if they're standard measures, ie 15ml & 5ml?

I believe they are. I too have one of these and have lost the spoon, but you can order a new one from the morphy richards site, I think they are less than a pound.

I use a standard desertspoon measure and a 5ml teaspoon and find these are about the same. Anyway my bread is working with these measures.

I'll bet they are exactly that, yes. A standard tablespoon and a standard teaspoon.

I recently bought a set of those plastic measuring spoons from the Tesco value kitchen range, think it was less than £1.

Was also given a MR (quickbake) BM last October, and no measures. Have to show off and say have used store-bought bread only twice since then. Use the standard UK measures I already had, but found out subsequently MR measures were US cup, don't know why. No problems with bread. Only had low-salt in the house, but strangely found bread too salty. Switched to ordinary salt for the bread, but less than recipes call for. The birds have only ever had one loaf out of me, but that was a (failed) experiment!

hi there
you can also buy cheap spoons in wilkinsons and sainsburys (mine are from sainsburys 2.99) but wilkos are about a £1 hope that helps
