The make is Morphy-Richards. Which I very much doubt if you will have heard of. It is a very old established, British electrical gadget manufacturer. But in this instance. I believe that mine is a re-badged beast, from the Far East. Although M/R may have set up their own factory, out there.

Thanks. You're right, I've never heard of it, but will keep my eyes and ears open.

This is my 'Beastie'. Just incase you spot it, under an alternative moniker. Kind of 'Old fashioned' looking, really. But makes a super 2lb loaf in exactly 3 hours.

Our bread machins manufactured here really do ot look that diffeent from yours Sir. I like the way Jglass uses hers, and wish I had of thought of it! Iwould have kept mine! She sid she simply uses it to mix, then sh bakes hers and shapes her in the traitional method. I liked my bread from the bread machine, but I did not like the hole it left in the bottom of the loaf:( I guess it really mattered not in the taste and texture, but being the perfectionist sort I was bothered by the hole where the mixing paddle would stir it. Never dawned on me I could just do it manually:rolleyes:

Did you read my #25 on the subject of paddles. I think it makes my B/M just that little bit special.
