The KitchenAid K45SS Classic Stand Mixer offers unbeatable performance and is simply worth every penny. Let’s take a look at its features.

KitchenAid K45SS Classic Features

• Competitively priced – At roundabout £100 cheaper the K45SS Classic is far more reasonably priced than the KitchenAid Artisan. You still get the majority of features all you don’t get is a choice of colours but white will go in most kitchens.
• Easy to use – The mixer has a tilt back head which provides easy access to the generous 4.3 litre stainless steel bowl.
• Attachments – You get three basic attachments with the K45SS Classic but don’t underestimate just how much these three standard attachments can achieve. The dough hook makes easy work of kneading, the planetary action helps the flat beater mix ingredients for cakes evenly and thoroughly and the whisk takes the hard work out of whipping cream and meringues. Attachments are a doddle to fit, simply twist and push into the mixer’s hub.
• Speed settings – There are ten mixing speed settings which can be adjusted easily. This offers a lot of flexibility and ensures you get the best results from your mixer.
• Quieter than it’s competitors – Having a direct drive motor means the mixer doesn’t make as much noise as a lot of other mixers on the market. The motor is exceptionally robust and will last a very long time.
• Versatility – With the addition of extra attachments (priced between £50-£100) the mixer can do all sorts of jobs from making ice creams to pasta.
• Needs little looking after – Incredibly easy to clean with a wipe of a cloth, the majority of attachments are also dishwasher safe.

The 5 best break machines such as this Panasonic SD-257WXC automatic breadmaker

Freshly baked bread has to be one of the nicest smells. Making your own loaf used to be a long and laborious task, not anymore thanks to bread machines. What’s more, these clever machines often don’t just make bread, some can make cakes and jams too. There are lots of benefits to making your own bread, knowing exactly what is going into your loaf is one. Especially if you are conscious off all the different types of additives and preservatives supermarket bread contains. Bread Machines are also pretty economical to use as they don’t consume much energy.

The other big benefit is that you can create exactly the bread you want, be that gluten free, croissants, seeded, wholemeal the list goes on. Bread machines do vary quite a lot in cost and this can often be dependent on the number of features the machine has. In general it takes around 3-4 hours to bake a loaf on a standard programme. Machines with a fast bake programme will give you a loaf in about 1 hour. It’s therefore worth considering what bread you would like to make and the time you have available before deciding which machine to buy. We’ve compiled a top five of the best bread machines on the market which we think are worth investing in. Let’s take a look at then.

1. Panasonic SD-257WXC Automatic Breadmaker with Gluten Free Program

There are numerous bread programmes to choose from, Brioche, Rye, French and Gluten Free.

Panasonic really know what they are doing when it comes to breadmakers. Their SD-257WXC Automatic Breadmaker whilst on the pricey side really is one of the best machines out there, consistently producing top quality bread. If you are new to bread machines the user manual and recipes accompanying the maker guides you through the process step by step, making it a doddle to use. When in operation the machine is quiet, the paddle doesn’t stick in the bread and once the loaf is cooked it slides out easily thanks to the non stick pan.

There are numerous bread programmes to choose from, Brioche, Rye, French and Gluten Free. Additionally there is a ‘bake only’ programme for making cakes and teabreads and a Pizza dough programme for making homemade pizza. You can select the loaf size to suit your needs, be it medium, large or extra large. If you like your bread thick and crusty or pale and delicate, that’s not a problem thanks to the crust control feature. If that’s not enough features, how about the automatic raisin and nut dispenser, which ensures the ingredients are evenly distributed through your loaf.
