I've been using a Breville Bread Maker, but it broke down, so I've been looking for a new one and found a discount. I'm already using a Cuckoo rice cooker, and I'm looking forward to it.
Free delivery excludes WA & NT.

Very little. Can you measure ingredients to put in a bowl? That's it.
With premixed packets you don't even have to be able to do that much…
Follow the menu, very easy and no need to use premixed packets, the outcome very close to those from supermarket bakery.
It usually takes about 3 hours. (1kg bread)
5 hours if whole meal
How much effort does it take to make bread using one of these?
2 mins for prep.
5 mins to clean up.
1kg!? Is it made from aluminium foil?
If you're not being sarcastic, thought i'd give an answer lol. The 1kg part refers to the weight of the bread it can make at a time.
1kg of dough? or 1kg of bread after cooking?
1kg of dough. The bread will lose some weight when cooked (loses some moisture but not much). So 1kg wet weight
I was being facetious
Is this one of those things, you use once and never use again
Yep because it is not Pizza.
Is this one of those things, you use once and never use again
I have the Panasonic, my wife use it every few days.
we use our Panasonic to make pizza dough pretty regularly - often once a week, then additionally often make foccacia when people are coming over, hot cross buns that sort of thing.
I have a panasonic. I am wondering how good this one compare to panasonic for future reference. Since it's cheaper. I had cuckoo rice cooker. They cook nice rice.
It has generally been accepted that Panasonic make the best bread makers.

When I was looking into buying one, the only other option worth considering was a Zojirushi
I concur, my three Panasonics are still in service. Among many differences, the current Panasonics have 30+ programmes compared with 15 for the Cuckoo. There was a period when Panasonic Australia stopping importing breadmakers so pre-owned models were changing hands for silly money. Back in the day when specialist purveyors of breadmaking ingredients existed, my supplier ran workshops and published a newsletter. The top three ranked machines were all Panasonic; I had a Breville at the time.
Baking bread is pretty fun and easy if you have the time. I would buy a pullman tin and try that out before using a machine again. The paddle holes are so annoying.
Shipping for NT, WA, TAS - $50.00 :( makes it 194 for me. you can get the basic Breville for 200 around town from the looks of it. free shipping over 199 but not much to pad
I've got a bread maker at home that i use on average once a month.
Bread makers usually have a timer so you can delay the start of the process.
In the morning you put all the ingredients into the machine and set the delay to start around 3-4pm. You go to work and come home to the process almost done. You prep dinner and cook. By the time dinner is done, so is the bread….
OR
You put the ingredients into the bread maker the night before, and set the delay start for 3am. Wake up in the morning to a kitchen smelling of fresh bread. Slice it up, throw it in the toaster, and …. you can finish this story yourself :P
Any links to some premixed packets?
eastern have rice cooker, western have breadmaker.
eastern have rice cooker, western have breadmaker.
I have both.
so are you easterner with western taste or westerner with eastern taste….
Roti maker
50 dollar shipping lol.
The deal also excludes Tas for free shipping.
As a total noob, can it make sourdough? I don’t see that specified in the specs, but perhaps it works with custom timer?
You need to ferment dough to make sourdough. I use my breadmaker (dough paddle) for mixing/kneading prior to the first bulk proof.
before i read the title i was like ooh nice laser printer
What's the costs - benefit of buying/using a bread maker? Does it work out cheaper to make than to buy? Last I read about bread makers is that it costs more to make a loaf than it is to buy. Is this (still) the case?
Can you recall where you read that? Laucke Crusty White bread mix 500g costs $1.00 per loaf; plus 350mL water, yeast (included), breadmaker power, bread pan cleaning, bread machine purchase/depreciation.
I'll admit this was some years ago & I haven't looked thoroughly into it. Bread might have been cheaper vs making it. Taking into consideration the cost of the appliance, if it ends up costing $2 per loaf total (half of store bought), 1 loaf per week (more for family/bread lovers), would be looking at maybe 1.5yrs before any real savings?
