Been looking for a Bread Maker for a bit and seems that the Panasonic's are the best, this looks to be the cheapest this model has been for a while.
The SD-ZB2512KST model is down to $231.20 for anyone that cares (Myer eBay), not the cheapest it's been though.
I've had this breadmaker for a few years, and the limitation is actually the limited selection of flour mixes you can get in the shops. But I guess it's possible to mix your own. Have used the Lauke Crusty White breadmix for a while, but the kids complain it's too crusty.
I am using it to bake cakes & just loving it.
I don't even knead this.
Neither dough I.
At yeast we're honest.
Don't waste your dough
If you have a place that sells bread at 1 to 2 a loaf it's really not worth the time. Mine just sits on the shelf. I go to supermarket at 7pm and all the bread is reduced.
But you can’t deny fresh bread in the mornings smells fantastic !
Making bread at home isn't always about the cost. For some it's knowing what you put into it (and what you choose to leave out). Some also mill their own flour because the nutritional value is significantly higher than store bought.
Panasonic SD, I thought someone was posting a really old TV!
Probably the most used device in our kitchen. Makes superb bread.
Good for gluten free bread
Bought the SD-ZB2512KST. Best thing ever, never buying bread again
