Advantages: makes lovely crusty loaves

Disadvantages: none

My husband had vaguely fancied a breadmaker so, before he bought one for me I got one for him! I bought the Morphy Richards one from Argos at under £50 as an extra surprise Christmas present, much to his shock! He set to straight away though,and we have been eating the most delicious thick, crusty bread ever since. The white loaf has so few additives that it doesn't make your tummy bloat like shop bought ones. He has had a few dud ones - mainly cos he didn't read the booklet all the way through. It was quite a few weeks later that he found the troubleshooting section right at the back!

Some friends have breadmakers that cost more than twice the price, but with no better results. I would recommend it to anyone - male or female. You don't need to be a good cook. Its all set down for you, and you can always use the ready made cake mixes - Hovis or Wrights etc - they turn out just as well. When you buy the ready made loaf mixes at the supermarket anyone standing nearby will look at you with envy. Some go - wooh, breadmaker?

A couple of tips would be that some mixes need slightly more water, and if you mix half white and half granary together that makes a gorgeous loaf! It took a while before we mastered how to best cut it, and it does cut thicker than a normal sliced loaf, but all to the good! Some people recommend a food slicer, as that way, all the slices are even.

Anyway, we wouldn't be without ours, and my husband really enjoys using it. Early evening put in the mix and its cooked before you go to bed. He then turns the loaf upside down to get rid of the hot air. In the morning - fresh, tasty bread for your breakfast!

Go on, enjoy!

Summary: bake in the evening for fresh bread for breakfast!
