What is the best make and model of breamaker? As some people seem to have more success than others maybe its the quality of the equipment


Hello Mrs DB... hows things on posterior reduction (not allowed to be on a diet!!) :D

My dad (who likes to research these things) swears that the best brand is Panasonic. Not sure if that's available in Oz/NZ, but that was the result of his extensive research:D :D :D

Bloody galling it was when I thought - tea bag (peppermint) 3p at retail, less than 1p at cost; water less than 1p, electricity for kettle or urn less than 1p to boil my bit of water. So of course, staff wages, council rates, rent, etc, etc and profit margin took up more than 95% of the final price (with the emphasis on the latter). Restaurants and tea rooms will tell you of course that drink is where they make a lot of their profit and it subsidises meals to keep prices down etc, etc. Bloody galling still.:D Oh and the thermos and my own tea bag wasn't an option in this situation. :D

My parents make gluten-free bread for my cousin and it seems to work. Might take some fiddling about with recipes though.

My dad has an excellent recipe for plain white bread - I'll get it off him and post it. Takes him seconds to put it together, basic ingredients, dead easy

I'm getting really fed up with the fresh bread available near me (choice of Brumby's/Coles/Woolies). None of it lasts long and the wholemeal etc options seem to actually be white with a token handful of whole grain.

Dunno about where you are but our local Brumbys is ACE! They are one of only a handful of bakeries that don't put that weird preservative in their bread (well known one that makes kids with ADHD more hyper)....that could also explain why it doesn't last as long. Mind you bread never lasts more than a day or two in our house....how long do you keep it for??:confused:

I was thinking to go with my new vegetarian lifestyle, why not go the whole hog and start making my own bread....and then I remembered....I'm WAY too lazy for all that palarver...bring on Brumbys I say (Rye bread of course for my posterier reducing regimen ;) )

love sophia xxx

thanx Bundy, but i am not allowed white bread as it messes with my diabetes. It makes your glucose level shoot up too quick i'm told

hiya Podgy, fancy talking about posterior reduction on the thread about bread :D. Havent weighed myself again, I though 5 kgs was pushing my luck, so I will wait til next week when i have to go back to the specialist. At least Im eating again now, just trying to keep it healthy & small portions. Also with a little bit more energy Im doing a bit more which is good for burning it off. I'll let you know next week :) .

Hang on a minute - here's wearing a flanno. He must be a stereotype (referring to the Badge thread)

pleased to hear things are going well DB..keep it up girl!!

I not sure of the ingredients i am allowed Bundy, but hte best one for me is supposed to be Rye bread or one that has a very high whole grain content. This is so that the glucose form the carbohydrate is released much slower into the blood stream.

Thought that might be the case. I shall get my parents to scan through their recipe book and see what comes up. I know there is a rye bread recipe in there...
