Daft. You'll be getting an allotment next or chickens.

Leave it to the experts.



My parents have chickens (for eggs & meat) & my mum makes fantastic bread (by hand) & neither are experts :-S

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.

    • Fabion is an experienced plumber. I was connected with Fabion through an App when I had an emergency issue with my water tank in the loft. He fixed it.  He also came back to replace my taps in the kitchen. Since then Fabion has been able to help me with the following:  1. Putting up blinds - immaculate 2. Dismantling and reassembling beds x2 (30 mins flat)  3. Taking down big old doors Extremely professional. Clean - never leaves a mess. SO fast. Attends when he say he's going to attend. Friendly and kind.  I cannot recommend him more highly.     
    • Hi would be grateful for any recommendations. It is for a special birthday. One of the party is vegetarian. Thanks
    • Highly recommend Greg from Raven Plumbing & Heating, who I found through this forum. He was immediately responsive, great communication and super speedy arrival time, even on a bank holiday! He diagnosed and fixed a leak in record time. Extremely friendly and professional, made me feel much better about a stressful situation - will definitely work with him again!
    • I think the thread title is a bit overdramatic there’s thousands of CICs in the UK.  Hopefully, I don’t sound naive when I say that sometimes this sort of set up is a way to reach hard to reach people without the bureaucracy of more formal organisations.
