The Morphy Richards BM Club

Pink.

Hi lil_me,

I can't compare it to the panasonic (which most people seem to love) as this is my first breadmaker, but I'm delighted with mine. I bought it thinking I'd make bread now and again. I didn't expect it to replace all shop bought bread........but it has. We haven't bought a loaf of bread since October.

Thing that is warming me to the Fastbake is the price and the fact it does JAM! But the panasonic does gluten free, I think I'll keep reading about them on the forum and see what reviews I can find and just start saving until then.

Having read what everyone says about them on Old Style I probably would have bought a panny too.........but not knowing whether or not I'd use it, when I saw the MR for £14.50 I couldn't resist trying it. I haven't been disappointed. When this one dies I might look at buying a Panasonic.

There are some gluten free recipes in the MR too although I haven't tried them.

sam,
can you pre-order cups or when did they tell you they were back in?

Someone on here was saying for a american recipe where "cups" is used they used the BM cup and the recipe worked fine. Now I know Ikea does measuring spoons with1/2 cup as Ive got a set myself, so that might be OK. the thing Im thinking is that the teaspoon/ tablespoon might not be the right measurements in the Ikea set, but it might be worth a go??

Well, my second Morphy Richards Fastbake has just stopped working!!!! Both times, the paddle has stopped moving round, so will be taking this one back to Argos again (less than a year old, as was my first one) and i wont be getting another.
Its a shame, because i really liked my BM, i know we make bread most days but surely it should last a lot longer than 9 months!!!!!

Hi All

I couldn't agree with pink winged more. I have a friend who raved about the panny but at nearly £100 it was out of my price range, it was also a lot of money for something that I did not know if I would enjoy using or would become an expensive dust collecter once the novelty wore off.

I also bought the MR Fastbake for £14.50, following the recommendation on here, and it has been the best £14.50 I have ever spent. :j It has paid for itself in the few short months I have been using it. I have not purchased shop bought bread or rolls since. It is so easy to use and I love the smell of baking bread wafting round the house. I would recommend it to anyone contemplating buying one.

Also, thanks to everyone who posts their hints and tips on here I am becoming more adventurous.

Cheers
Cats
