Panasonic SD254 Breadmaker

I invested some of my amazon vouchers from my dooyoo miles and spent a bit more in buying the Panasonic SD254 breadmaker a month or so back and read on to see what I have to share with you(sorry its not the bread itself). Whats in the package: ------------------------ The machine itself which is white and would look lovely in most kitchen. It looked huge in the picture on the website but isn't that big once out of the package .Sitting smugly on my kitchen counter its dimensions being .. w=10", l=10" and a height of 14" is just the right size for a medium sized kitchen. It weighs roughly around 7.75kgs, so not it can be ...  Read the complete review

I love homemade bread but despite being an otherwise good cook have always found making it by hand very hit and miss. When I decided to get a breadmaker after realising that they not only make the whole process very easy but save a fortune compared to hsop bought bread (a loaf costs around 30p including the electricity) I spent a long time checking online to find out about them. Despite the higher price this one stood out amongst the rest and so I decided to invest the extra money for it. I'm very glad I did. I've seen several other people I know have very little success with cheaper breadmakers yet I've never had a bad loaf. ...  Read the complete review

I thought long and hard before investing in this panasonic breadmaker. It is more expensive than many on the market but I have to say it was worthy investment. I have had this machine now for just over a month and I have not bought any bread or rolls since then. The machine is easy to use and consistenly produces lovely smelling and tasting fresh bread. I have tried most of the settings now and the bread, pizza bases, rolls have all been delicious. I have tried several of the cake/loaf recipes from the book and these have all been delicious as well. I have not missed the seed dispenser or rye flour blade in the SD255 model and I have glad I saved myself ...  Read the complete review

I love my breadmaker. I bought my Panasonic SD254 from John Lewis last summer. The sales assistant told me that the Panasonic was by far the best and the most popular make of breadmaker. My other half thought this would be another gadget that would end up in the cupboard - but it is always on the kitchen counter. I did consider getting the 255 model but it was £20 more expensive. I knew that that I would not use the nut dispenser and the rye blade often enough to justify the extra cost. The breadmaker itself is really easy to use. I weigh out ingredients according to the manual using digital scales. The timer function is excellent - it means that you can wake ...  Read the complete review

This is an excellent machine. The recipes are varied and easy to follow. I bought it for my husband when he thought he had an allergy to wheat as it has a gluten free function on it. The recipe for Gluten free bread was for a branded bread mix which wasnt readily availanle to me, I think it was for Glutafin. As he was undiagnosed we could not even get it on prescription to try it out. Howvere, I did try a recipe ad hoc and it turned out fine and was lovely whilst it was fresh and warm, the next day howver it was like a house brick! Nevermind. Gluten free bread can be like that. I have tried all sorts of other breads in it and it is ...  Read the complete review
