 Good results so far..... November 12, 2008

I received this yesterday have already made ( eaten) 3 1lb loaves. I've found this model very easy to use, I chose this one as it was a 'Which best buy' compact. Any advice on the paddle? The manual states that it may occassionaly get stuck...I've got a 100% record of digging it out of the bread so far....
Any advice? September 15, 2008

I've just got this, my first breadmaker, and am very pleased with the results I've had, so far. Bread texture has been very good. The recipe for Raisin Bread was also very successful, with lovely texture. br / br /There is one thing I'd like advice about, and that is the best way to remove the paddle. I find that I really have to cut it out carefully, avoiding scratching it. I've read a hint about removing it from the machine during the final rising time (lifting the dough out, spraying a little oil on the spindle, then replacing the dough), leaving a much smaller hole in the bread. I'm wondering if it would allow the machine and dough to cool too much. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has tried this and could recommend it, or offer other ideas.
A great buy September 10, 2008

This is our first breadmaker and we love it - we got it free with Nectar points so I wouldn't have been that disappointed if it hadn't been up to much but in fact it's a Which? magazine best buy, and deservedly so. We've made sundried tomato loaf, walnut bread, fruit loaf and a mixed fruit cake. They've all been fantastic - except the cake which was very dense and dry. In fact I chucked it out. Shame, although you may as well make a cake in the normal way - It's not really any easier to do it in the breadmaker: you still have to get out 2 bowls, sift half the ingredients and then mix the wet ingredients and combine before you pour into the breadmaker, so in fact its less washing up to chuck it all in the food processor and put it in the oven. You can make jam and marmalade in it though, so I'll be trying out those next!
