Sandra:
Those halogen ovens should do oven chips ok Simon.
I got up later than intended today so didnt get chance to go to Aldi but rang a friend who was also thinking of getting one to get me one too.
For some reason they havent arrived in our local store today so we havent got ours to try out yet.
Clive:
Oh well done Simon! I can see you are a real gourmet! Top tip is you must use Strong breadmaking flour such as Carrs. Make a loaf of white first 'cos it's easier. You will love it!
Another top tip. Leave electric steamers where they are. They are absolutely impossible to clean and you will stop using it after a couple of weeks. Get a 3 tier hob steamer as Gill suggests. They do the job and can be properly cleaned. I've used one for 20 years and it still looks brand new.
Rik:
There's nothing like a freshly-baked home-made loaf is there, Clive. :)
GillE:
Excellent choice of breadmaker, Simon :) . I bought the Panasonic SD255 last February which is the same as yours except for mine having an automatic nut/seed dispenser. It makes lovely bread! It also seems to have been reduced in price quite dramatically - you've got a bargain.
Don't forget to look beyond supermarkets for the best bread flours. I suggest you support a local mill - you'll be able to taste the difference.

Simon:
Thanks Gill. I will have to RTFM, and will probably start with basic ingredients, before becoming more adventurous. :)
