Aye but is the breadpan like a normal loaf tin or a long tall thin barsteward?

And nothing - not even the threat of torture - could force me to bring a picture of Antony W T into my house.

I have my children's health and wellbeing to consider.

Cuthbert and I made cheese and rosemary scones with pumpkin seeds on top at the weekend.

They were yummy and surprisingly light given that they had been handled and cut out by a hamfisted 2 year old.

I have a Panasonic breadmaker, I love it. Don't use it for all types of bread but it is very good for some things. I suppose the tin is relatively tall and thin in comparison to a normal one, but I think they're all like that. It works for me anyway. And it doesn't have a picture of AWT on it, which has to be a major plus point for any kitchen appliance.

Apparently you can also use it for making jam. Haven't tried that yet, though.

My breadmaker's fabulous. Makes proper-shaped loaves, doesn't look a bit like AWT, and warms the bed up too :)

Now that is sacrilige - jam making is a yearly ritual that should involve boiling a vast cauldron of sticky goo and trying to avoid being splashed, heating jars in the oven and repeadetly licking yummy not-quite-jam off your fingers when you've been testing for a set point.

V'rap - can you shut your breadmaker in a cupboard out of the way when not in use? If so I'd consider paying for a loan ;-)

Leaguefreak, I don't need to. My breadmaker goes off to the garage and fixes bikes when not otherwise engaged :)

No, but I can recommend Dan Lepard and his book short and sweet amazon.co.uk or a rummage round the Guardian website for some of his recipes, he makes it very easy to do. Or the River Cottage handbook http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bread-River-Cottage-Handbook-No/dp/074759533X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1353408445&sr=1-1. Neither takes up much space but unfortunately can't fix bikes either.

The Panasonic is a bit tall but I've never seen any that aren't TBH. (Other than El Bee obv - actually he is quite tall as well as I recall)

So, in summary... thie ideal breadmaker for me would be elBee apart from

1. I don't need the bike fixing function
2. I don't need the bed warming function
3. My husband might be a bit put out
4. V'rap might be a bit put out

Thanks :-)
