I ordered two one for myself and one for the MIL and I find them to be very good. Bread in my house doesn't last long but I find since storing the bead in the lakeland bag that bread used on the 2nd day doesn't taste dry like it did before.

I have the bread bag and find it quite good but for some reason my DH refuses to use it so we have a constant battle about storing bread.

Mum of 4 I've recently got a jam maker and so far have made onion confit (there's a recipe for it) which tasted odd to me (I added some balsamic, and perhaps it was a mistake) There's another thread somewhere which has a chutney recipe for the jam maker, but can't remember what it's called. I THINK it should be possible to adapt any recipe at all for the jam maker - I just haven't had any time to try. Am waiting for nice weather to go and pick some cheap strawbs to make jam!!

Umm, I'm thinking about what to keep HM bread in - I think we just eat it faster than other folk, so there's never any to keep anyway.....

I have been a loyal customer of theirs ever since they made and sold only poly bags in an old building in the lakes and their brilliant cs has never ever faltered. I reckon I have a lakeland home in my house

I am getting to grips with the singing dancing jam maker. Rhubarb jam was wonderful. We love the onion confit and the more it is maturing (in the fridge) the better it tastes and last week I made rhubarb and date chutney from a recipe in the times and that is also maturing. I like the fact that the ingredients are so easy ie 1 kg of fruit to 1 kg of sugar basically

I succumbed last night, says she wiping brow and I logged onto their site. I spent enough to get free p and p. There seems to be no end to improvements and innovations. I got a new muffin tin, the 3 for 2 offer and am intending to cut my old silicone ones up into singles so that they fit around the edge of the grande remoska

re the chutney, it only took 50 minutes as against 60 minutes in the times recipe but next time I`ll start looking at 40 minutes

One of my best ever things from them and used at least 4 times every week, is a huge huge drying rack, with 3 pull out hanging racks on each side, with pullout legs on each side and which collapses down a 1/3. It can be stored flat and 1 to 6 racks can be pulled out as needed. Absolutely fantastic item and never seen again in the store

there are alot of expensive things in lakeland, but there are also some really hard to get items which make a world of difference when baking.
I bought the parchment baking liners, and the Barra bread, banana bread and any loaf type cakes were so much easier.
you just lift the whole cake out and then i either serve them, gift them as gifts or freeze them.
The cake release gel is also good.

:rolleyes: well my finger slipped on the keyboard and the jam maker was added to my basket. Of course I din't want to lookm stupid so completed checkout;)

Already have a glut of strawberries, rhubarb and courgettes to turn into jams and chutneys

I love the cake release and would'nt be without it.
Same with the parchment liners.
