bread makers

Somebody once told me a slowcooker is just like leaving a light bulb on is that right?? is it the same for BM

which one is a good buy, maybe to do other stuff in it also like cakes etc, been looking on ebay but getting stuck, or is there a cheaper web address
Thanks Tracey

    I wouldn't say it was cheaper (although it can be) and it certainly isn't easier but it's much more worthwhile and tastes better.

    As for makes of machines, it's each to their own really. I have a Morphy Richards twin loaf rapide which I am really happy with but others rave over the Panasonic.

    It also depends on the machine as to what you can do in them.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    There is a thread on here somewhere that goes into this a bit - if you use the search tool you should find it. I would do it for you but my fingers etc are sore from hammering (and missing)
