BREVILLE BR8L BREAD MAKER
 |
A high capacity for the
larger family and it's ability to make probably the best French
bread make the Breville BR8L bread maker a great choice. It's at
the top of the cost range but it's worth it for the extra
features.

BREAD MAKER
The Breville BR8L Bread Maker produces good quality loaves of
bread and excels itself at French bread - really light and
fluffy inside. Forget the bread pasta though, ours most
definitely went wrong. With a large loaf capacity of 2.75 lbs
this a good bread maker for the large family. In common with some
other bread machines you need to be accurate with the
measurements - get them wrong and this is not a tolerant
machine!

RELIABILITY
A couple of isolated reliability problems have come to our
attention especially with the kneading mechanism.
OUR RATING
The Breville BR8L bread maker is great for the large family, it also comes
with a timer and a great 'keep warm' feature. It's also very
easy to use and the recipe memory makes it even easier. Our only
concern is that the reliability may not be up to scratch. One
final point, the recipe book refers to the addition of a bread
improver to some recipes, we were unable to find this in any of
the shops - maybe it's used in the USA? **
Update - bread improver can be
bought on e-bay at
www.stores.ebay.co.uk/homebakingsupplies.
