Since working out that bread machines are the best kitchen gadget EVER I've had my eye on a Panasonic. Our machine died yesterday and, given that we now can't bear to be without one, we dashed straight out and bought this - the ultimate bread machine.

No more waiting till 11.30pm for the four hour cycle to finish, no more pulverised fruit and nuts because there is an automatic dispenser in this one, no more bread in slices too big for the toaster (different shaped pan).

So, before you could say 'Jack Flash' the machine was on and a loaf appeared 1 3/4 hours later. It was heaven. Last thing before bed, the crust, still warm, dripping with real butter.

Yum!
