Hello again guys...didnt get around to doing the cheese n onion bread....in fact my rapid loaf is still in there now,had a bit of a go slow day today:o
I have a question tho...I mentioned before about the numbers 1 2 3 and Swan very kindly investigated(to the extent she phoned kenwood)apparantly they indicate which of the 3 rises the bread is on,therefore will not be illuminated all the time...but mine never illuminate...all 3 numbers are equaly visible,but none highlighted...next time anyone is using their BM,could they check and see if 1 2 or 3 ever light up on their own...thanks.

oh, that's weird ... the mystery deepens

I'll have a look too, but it'll be Saturday before I'm using my machine again

I can't say I've ever noticed mine light up, even when the little rising symbol was lit, but then I wasn't looking for it

I have never noticed the numbers, so I will have to look later! I couldn't even picture the 123 in my head:doh:

I had never noticed until you said, but yes, the 123 is there......and completely redundant froom the looks of it............why?:think: It does not light up or even highlight at any time.

Oh no, MummyOfTwo, that's quite normal:)

The gingerbread - I made some last week, and invented what we all thought was a gorgeous pudding when we had friends to dinner on Saturday.
I put a base of gingerbread slices in a dish, added some spiced cooking apple (cooked), warmed it up, then poured over sticky toffee sauce and served it with whipped cream:)

does anyone else think that programme 2 for rapid loaf makes a nicer loaf than the basic on programme 1?...i find programme 1 produces a drier loaf with a bumpy "rustic" top...but programme 2 looks like bread from an oven,perfectly smooth and rounded on top,and with an extra soft,kind of chewy texture...love it,in fact i ended up making 2 of these today instead of the cheese n onion.
