I second *Bob*'s recommendation; we've had a panasonic sd255 for about 6 months and haven't bought bread, bread rolls or pizza bases during that time. It's extremely easy to use, in fact we probably don't get the best out of it as do tend to stick to the same old recipes (wholemeal bread/bread rolls). Flour, yeast etc can all be bought in SMBS foods - the dove farms organic range is the best flour we've found.


The machine is quite large and heavy so does take up a fair bit of bench space when in use (3-4 times a week); but this is easily sorted if you've got a cupboard to store it in when not making bread.

I read somewhere the smoothie makers were the appliance most likely to never be used. Although I use mine quite a lot. Not for smoothies however more for soup and curry and stuff like that.


I quite like the idea of making my own bread. Not sure I would stick with it though so I may as well cut my cost and just get a bread tin.

or my Panasonic SD253.


I have to make my own bread in order to have half a chance keeping my salt intake under 3.0g a day for health reasons. The SD253 is brilliant. Throw everything and walk away - never had a bad loaf and it's used almost daily. I got the SD253 because it automatically adds the nuts/dry fruit etc at the right point in the cycle & has a good timer length (up to 13 hours on some programs). The Panasonic bread makers always rank highly in the Which reviews. Got mine off ebay for ?52 inc. P&P. It was cheap because it didnt have the manual (down loaded that off the web) and the measurment utensils/jug were missing (easily bought in Woolies for a couple of quid). The actual breadmaker was brand new and came with a 6 mnth guarantee.


Yes I could make the bread by hand but I'd rather be spending my time doing more interesting/important things and let the SD253 do it for me.

      Recommendation - Silvano - Driving Instructor

      By cjchung · Posted

      I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all.

      Idle cricket musing

      By David Peckham · Posted

      You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.

      Idle cricket musing

      By Peckhamgatecrasher · Posted

      "PGC, do you reckon this 'Anderson -Tendulkar' series could make Tests a bit more interesting to the wider word?" Alas no. Until it comes back to terrestial telly, I think it will always suffer from elitism(?).  Excepting The Guardian, cricket is barely mentioned in other press. I am fortunate in that my daughter has just added me to her subscription on NOW TV. It has been great to watch this test; it really could have gone either way, eariler in the day, which always makes it more exciting. The only bugbear is that I am a TMS afficianado, and they are about eight deliveries ahead of the tv! I thought Tongue was excellent in mopping up the tailenders, and Duckett was a delight to watch. Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant to see. I'm sure the Edgbaston crowd will have tremendous supporters for both sides. PS: I don't think Jofra will be back on the strength of one county wicket.
