Panasonic SD-B2510 Breadmaker
Looking for the best breadmaker? Then look no further than the Panasonic SD-B2510. It makes delicious bread and it’s easy to use. In the 5 years I’ve owned mine I’ve never once thought that I need a different bread maker; it’s never not worked and it’s never annoyed me. My mum owns one, my sister owns one and even my doctor owns one! So now you should too. Read on on find out more, and where to get the best prices..
Bread makers are an interesting kitchen appliance to own. When bread is so easy to buy at the supermarket why would you bother to make your own? The answer is simple. Firstly, there’s nothing nicer than waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread. It’s even better than freshly brewed coffee. It’s a smell that wafts up the stairs, entering your dreams to give you that sense you’re in your local bakery surrounded by delicious cakes and loaves.
And secondly it elevates your bread from a boring, preservative filled sliced loaf of fluff to a bakery fresh crusty loaf without costing the earth.
One word of caution though, bread makers aren’t for everyone. If you aren’t organised enough to keep a stock of bread flour, and can’t get into the routine every couple of days of prepping your loaf then you’ll be out of bread when you need it, or one of those people who has a cupboard full of kitchen appliances they never use.
So why the Panasonic? Simplicity. You measure the ingredients shown in the instruction manual into the baking tin, choose the menu number, the loaf size and your timer delay and hit start. Then, you come back and, voila, fresh bread awaits you. You’ll want to leave the bread on a cooling rack for an hour before you cut it. While the Panasonic has a million different menus that can make breads, doughs, cakes and pastries, the reality is that most homes only use 3 recipes: #1 for white loaf, #4 for a brown loaf, and #26 to make pizza dough! Be realistic, will you actually be making a brioche or focaccia? I doubt it, but if you do, there is a menu setting for that.
I now have my daily bake down to 3 minutes. That’s all it takes me to get the tin, weigh 400g of flour, add 1 teaspoon of yeast, salt and sugar, 15g butter and 280g of water. Sometimes I throw in some seeds. Then I just select menu 1, medium, finish in 9 hours 30, start. And then I go to bed knowing I’ll awake to the bakery smells. Don’t tell my wife, but I don’t wash the tin, I just tip the loaf out onto a cooling rack and put the tin, which is clean aside from a dusting of flour, back in the machine ready for tomorrow!
Why don’t you enjoy a freshly baked loaf tomorrow morning?!
