Will I do?? I only splutter when I'm cross.

[kitty]

depends
a)how much your  hourly rate is!
and b)whether mrs tim will let you go! ;)

.but...yes-fromwhat i've heard you'll do very nicely! ;D

Kitty... Have you chucked it?
The reason i ask is because i have a breadmaker that is missing a paddle- a replacement is 30 quid or something- see where im going with this?
My one is a hinari by the way, its very good except for not having a paddle :D

[kitty]

funnily enough diuuurrrmid.i was thinking about you-and if we dont get a' prima 'one then you'd be very welcome to the innards..we are going breadmaking hunting tomorrow so i'll be in touch!

[Tulipa]

There is a thread on here somewhere about breadmakers and the outcome, by a long way, was the Panasonic breadmaker with the nut/seed dispenser.  I think it is the SD253.  The same one I have seen recommended in magazines too.  I know the thread on here got quite excited about this particular machine and I can't wait for mine to break down so I can get one.

thanks tulippa!i have actually mastered the searchfacility-yes i know its easy...but i am dim..anyway..i searched but i didnt get many 'finds'..anywaythats actually the one that i was looking at-especially as the price has come down somuch!nothing if not a cheapskate!

I can't wait for mine to break down so I can get one.

good clout with a rolling pin should do it! ;)
or in our case-move house-2 removal men and a six mile journey should be enough!

[Tulipa]

Now where's my rolling pin.......  Bit easier than moving house!

[kitty]

I SAY THIS WITH ALL POSSIBLE FEELING-TAKE THE ROLLING PIN OPTION EVERYTIME!!! >:( >:( >:( :o ::) ;) ;D

[return of the mac]

Thanks kitty, if you can send the paddle, what would you like in return (dont say breadmaker :D )? New rolling pin maybe? ;D ;D

[kitty]

something will spring to mind mac..my lamborghinis ashtrays are filling up.. ;)

its a wonder anyone knew what i was on about-i noticed i wrote-BEADMAKER!

kitty, I have the panasonic one with the seed nut dispenser, and LOVE it! Did a lot of research to find out which one was considered "the best" and it came out on top, no complaints from me so far!  Oh and the cheapest place I found it was online at amazon! :o

yes-i saw the panasonic was 'the best'unfortunately..i am as tight as a ducks bum when it comes to parting with money for shoes or gadgets.....so-got a morphy richards(would have got a prima but couldnt find one anywhere) for £40-works fine!just got our first loaf out,just as good as our old prima model..-going to try a  malt loaf in a minute-2 year guarantee(on the machine not the malt loaf!!! ;D-if it breaks after 2 years and a day it wont owe us anything ;D
the second bit of good news is-mac...MAC!!!!!you listening?????
you can have the paddle if you like-send me your addy in a pm.....the only downside to this is -we cant get the dam thing out the tin-probably needs WD40..so-tin included-you can wrestle the dam thing out-'k? ;D

[tim]

The Panasonic was the 'Which' best but last year, followed by the Morphy Richards.

[kitty]

ahaaaaa!thanks for that tim..it seems to do the business just like the old one...thank gawd!the thought of a shop bought!
at least the prima managed to get up to the dough stage before she pegged out..made us some buns...alarming noises tho-and then-rip prima!
still sorted now!
kitty ;D

[NattyEm]

I have a morphy richards one and its brilliant!  who needs a nut dispenser anyway!! :) :)

[Doris_Pinks]

Me, cos I have a memory like a sieve and would forget to chuck in the nuts n seeds at the appropriate time! ;D   

[Georgie]

Doris, having read this thread and on a complete whim, I've just ordered the Panasonic one!   I'm very fond of good bread and now I can't wait to get started.   ;D

G xx

[kitty]

there ya go!
you'll enjoy it i'm sure! ;)

[Doris_Pinks]

Georgie, You will love it!! The seeded bread (with pumpkin, sesame,ans sunflower seeds) is our favorite!  If you can also get hold of the book, Fresh Bread in the Morning from Your Bread Machine  by Annette Yates  The white bread in there is fab, and most of the recipes dont have any extras like milk etc!
