It’s been over 25 years since Panasonic launched the first home breadmaker and the expertise they have gained since those far-off days is truly manifest in the company’s SD-2500 WXC Breadmaker. Easy to use, versatile and very dependable, it will produce the highest quality bread products and more to cater for all tastes.
Smart looking with its cool-touch white housing and easy-to-use, angled control panel, it offers you a choice of 10 modes and 25 programmes, giving you the capability to bake deliciously fresh wholewheat bread, white, French bread, sweet breads, speciality breads, rolls, pizza dough and brioche, to name just a few. It also has features to make jams and compotes as well as breads for people with specific dietary requirements to be catered for.
The baking tin and kneading paddle are manufactured using a special non-stick diamond particle encrusted material, which makes them twice as tough and durable than anything found in their competitor’s machines, so it should provide you with a lot more years of thoroughly enjoyable baking than you might otherwise expect.
The SD-2500 WXC also lets you experiment by being able to add different ingredients such as fruit and nuts and it has a built-in signal which lets you know the precise moment to do this. Furthermore, the basic recipes have been worked out so that you can experiment with different combinations of ingredients such as flours, sugar, salt and dairy products in order to create the perfect bread to suit your particular tastes. There’s a 13 hour timer delay and a fast-bake option, which will turn out a loaf in just 115 minutes, with no compromising on the quality of the finished article. A three-way option for crust settings gives you the choice of how you want your bread to be finished, be it a nice soft crust or, my particular favourite, one that is crisp and crunchy and with Panasonic’s highly dependable temperature control system, you can count on getting bread that is just what you ordered every time.
The whole package includes all the accessories you’ll need to get the most out of your home baking, such as a measuring spoon and cup, a kneading blade and a book of recipes packed full of ideas. So if you’re thinking about purchasing a breadmaker for whatever reason, be it economic or for convenience, or because you simply just want to have a lot of fun baking your own bread the way you like to have it, the Panasonic SD-2500 WXC is definitely one of the best products currently on the market.
