I am in love with my Panasonic breadmaker

jaybee

I must have been 'squonky' all my life and never knew it!!!!

Can't cut bread to save my life (unless doorsteps are okay on one side and thin on the other ). I love my Panasonic breadmaker, too - only had it for a few weeks but I'm already preaching the gospel!!!! Had to but and try the Lakeland slicing thingy but have still failed to slice properly! The Argos one looks similar to the Kenwood one doesn't it? Can I really justify another gadget????

I have a food slicer - I asked about them on here a while back and found one at very little expense - free I asked my dad about the slicer I remember my grandma having and he said 'what, like this one here?' and gave me his (I never remember him using it). I tend to cut my bread with a decent bread knife and save my slicer for meats. I have seen them quite cheaply on ebay and I'm sure they turn up at car boots from time to time.

In fact - justification here, if you need it.......if you want a food slicer, you can use it to cut up your joints of meat (hams especially) that you have cooked in your slow cooker, which you then eat as sarnies using your HM bread from your fancy new breadmakers. Will that do as a good enough excuse, for those who need one that is?;)

Okay, ticklemouse, I'm convinced!!! (I can justify anything if I want it enough!!). Trouble is. . . . I'm supposed to be SAVING money, not spending it

I too am in love with my Panasonic breadmaker!!

I have had a Morphy Richards for a few years and the bread was ok-ish, but always a bit heavy. I bought a used Panasonic from ebay at the weekend for £57. It was a bit expensive for, lets face it, a second-hand kitchen gadget, but I was so impressed by other peoples' comments that I just had to try one. I am not disappointed! It is brilliant.

PS Now I want the slicer gadget too. I have to get OH to do the slicing too. Still, it makes him feel needed.

What a great word!

What's the betting it becomes an Old Style word and has to be added to our list of TLA's?

Can I ask what TLA means please?

I 'm also in love with my Panasonic breadmaker (with dispenser)!!

Anyone got some new good recipes? Tried just about every one in the recipe book.

But do you really think they save money? I too have a panasonic, but it sits unused in my kitchen cupboard...I just felt that by the time I had paid for the flour, yeast, electricity etc there was not much difference to buying. Would be interested to see if you are in love with the taste/satisfaction of home made bread or if you think it is cheaper...If the latter I may have to drag it out for another go.

Never, never, never keep your breadmaker in a cupboard. That's the mistake I made with my first breadmaker. The whole idea is to use it. Just going to set it up now for fresh bread in the morning. It's one of life's little pleasures, the aroma of freshly baked bread. Yum yum. My panasonic breadmaker sits on the work surface with my £10 uno coffee maker and £7 1950's mincer from ebay.

I've got a cheap and cheerfull Hinari from Asda and it did, to be honest, take me a good while to learn how to get the best from it. I'm VERY tempted, after all the rave reviews of the MR and the Panasonic to do an upgrade... but since I'm getting perfectly reasonable bread out of mine now - please can you tell me how I can justify the change?
