New toy - Bread Maker

I got myself a new toy a couple of days ago. I got myself a Panasonic SD-255 Bread Maker. The main reason I choose just that model was that it had a automatic 'raisin and nut' dispenser. Normally your bread maker beeps when it's time to chuck in raisins, nuts or bacon for example. This one has a tray that automagically dispenses the solid additions when it's time.

It has all the normal features like a dough mode, timer and such things. One thing that separates it from quite a few other bread makers is that it has a special rye mode.

So far I've only made two different loafs of bread, wholemeal/rye and cheese/bacon, but they've both turned out very nicely. If you are in the market for a bread maker, have a look at this model. It's a bit pricier than most but you'll find that it has some features that you won't find on cheaper models.

Another upside of getting it is that I can now justify adding a breadknife to my Global collection, as well as getting myself a nice breadbin. Bonus! ;)
