LCD display with user-friendly menu options - Unique dispenser to
automatically drop fruits or nuts into dough - Programmable timer, sets up
to 13 hours in advance - Non-stick coated pan for easy cleaning

ideal for overnight baking, so you can set the machine before you go to

3. Large LCD Display The large LCD display on the unit is clear and easy
to read The menu system is very user-friendly with six easy touch
buttons on the panel There are options for five different modes of baking,
these include; Basic, Pasta, French, Bake Only and Pizza Dough
4. Fruit and Nut Dispenser A fruit and nut dispenser is provided, which can
store up to 5 29 ounces (150 grams) of fruits, nuts or raisins into the
dough This great feature ensures that the raisins are scattered evenly,
instead of source being clumped together or leaving bare sections

it can be cleaned between each use Bread Quality The Panasonic
SD-RD250 Automatic Bread Maker vibrates slightly during the kneading
process, but fortunately it doesn• t produce much noise Preparing
the machine only takes about five minutes before it begins the making
process
6. The quality of bread which it produces is nothing short of fantastic The
bread is crusty on the outer side, soft in the centre and creates a
wonderful aroma If you have a family of 4 or smaller, then the medium
loaf size setting is adequate enough
7. Final Thoughts On the downside, if you have a preference for whole
grain bread, then this machine doesn• t bake it properly as it
doesn• t have a sandwich mode, so you will need to look elsewhere
Overall, the Panasonic SD-RD250 is a great bread maker for either those
who are new to bread machines or for more experienced users, who want
high quality, healthy bread with minimum hassle A very good guide is
included which contains numerous recipes for making different types of
breads, plus instructions on how to operate the machine
8. If having fresh homemade bread is something which you desire, then
this smart machine is a smart choice
