I have made bread for decades and it gives shit loavesThose of you who aren’t getting nice bread out of the Panasonic bread makers, are you using strong flour and decent yeast? Without any effort we seem to get good loaves out of it.
its a fast rise prcess so no time for flavours, the loaf is not big enough, the crust is not correct etc
yes I can make bread just better bread without it
rather buy this bread than bake with a bread maker

Perhaps if you like the chorleywood process they make good loafs but i just dont rate them
Breadmakers don't use the Chorleywood process. Not unless you add a crapload of enzymes and chemicals, anyways.
of course not but they both use a process designed to make bread quickly, rather than taste of something, hence the comparison
The stuff my parents bread maker makes is bland and tasteless. Nice texture but using same ingredients with a cool proof , knock back and second proof produces a much tastier loaf.
Buuuut I've yet to buy anything out a shop(that isn't a bakery) that holds a candle to either method. Incremental gains and all that.
My first non shop bought sourdough was a revelation.
Buy a good bread knife get good at waiting. The wait is worth it.
Well I think I am gonna play with the GF's bread maker but bin the idea of a slow cooker for now - for guy living alone it seems not worth it.
But ice cream makers...

Why Anything Slow Cookers Can Do, Others Can Do Better
How can I take an article seriously that goes on about Dutch Ovens?
(Plus whoever wrote it, doesn't actually know how to use a slow cooker!)
I love both my slow cooker and my Panasonic bread maker.
On the granary setting its takes 5hrs and makes great bread.

It takes 5 hours and makes 800g loaves.
