Hi everyone--I'm new to this list and have really enjoyedthe tips and
recipes. This is my first post and it concerns Automatic Bread
Machines. A friend of mine has loaned me her Panasonic ABM. She also
loaned me Brody & Apter's book of recipes (the yellow one; I also have
the dessert one but haven't used any recipes from it yet).
The thing is that about every other loaf or so that come out of the
Panasonic ABM is deformed in some way--the bread is edible, but sunken
or small or puckered on top. Maybe I shouldn't complain, but I don't
like this. Do all ABMs do this or am I doing something wrong (I'm
following the recipes--even making sure the ingredients are room
temperature)? I'd like to recommend an ABM to my mom, but I definitely
don't recommend the Panasonic one.
I welcome any comments, thoughts, suggestions, stories, etc. Thanks and
keep the dream alive . . .
