Panasonic SD-PN100 Automatic Mini Bread maker, 4 Gluten-Free Programmes, Compact Design, 18 Auto Programmes, LCD Display, Black

Well I just love this little bread maker, which makes the perfect size loaf for one to two people and they turn out perfectly every-time. Yes, there’s not a lot of recipes in the booklet, but that’s because they are all online on the Panasonic site. Also, take no notice of the reviews that say it’s noisy. It only makes noise when it is kneading and it only does it at the beginning for a very short time and the end and it isn’t that noisy and the rest of the time it’s silent. If you’re looking for a mini bread maker for one to two people, that’s reasonably priced, this is it. I looked around and compared for ages and this one ticked all of the boxes and it takes up hardly any room on the kitchen side which is another bonus!

I don’t normally do product reviews but I’m so pleased with this mini bread maker. Very easy to use, love the small size and the colour black, which matches in with my other appliances. Perfect for 2 people and makes a perfect loaf with only 250g of flour. Pictured is the turmeric and cashew loaf, which I found on the Panasonic website. 3 words of warning …. 1) Instruction booklet is pathetically lacking in information and recipes (I guess this is for ‘eco’ reasons) 2) It is noisy, especially when kneading (we thought someone was trying to break into the house)! 3) When using programme number three, Basic Raisin it goes straight to rest not knead. It took much research to find that this is normal as certain programmes rest to allow all the ingredients to come to the same temperature before mixing/kneading. So despite the noise, this is a fabulous little bread maker for singles or couples. I wouldn’t recommend for families.

Very easy to use. When I got the order of ingredients sorted, also applied slight tweaks of, different to the instructions, measurements, but for flour. Yeast in the water (tepid, and I use less 150-160 ml) added last. I use less than a desert spoon of sugar. Not a tablespoon, as per instructions, half that in with the yeast and water. Other half, or less, in the dry ingredients go in first. Butter on top of dry stuff. I prepare, weigh them all, and the butter/marge, before I even measure the water, so it’s an orderly prep, for speediness of putting into machine, I thereafter got brilliant results. Crusty and delicious. Looks fab, tastes fab. Quality machine, quality bread. Risen well. Happy days. Note: To easily separate the cooked loaf from the tin and sticking to the mixing blade, as soon as the beeps go, put the tin into cold water, iced if you like, Hey presto, nothing sticks.

Sleek, compact and stylish little bread maker. It’s perfect for 2 or 3 people. We’ve had a larger Panasonic bread maker for years which was brilliant but as we have less mouths to feed and we’re down sizing, we’ve chosen this one and each loaf has been really successful and delicious. Each function is everything we need. As previously said in reviews it is noisy when kneading, for a short time but that just makes us laugh, it’s so hilarious. I’m not sure I’d find it quite so funny if I delayed the bake overnight though. Overall a brilliant little bread maker. 👍

This bread maker arrived in good time and appears to work well but I had great difficulty in working out how to use it, since it did not have any real instructions or recipes for all the various types of bread listed among the programmes shown in the machine itself but not in the operating instructions. Surely there should have been more infomation, tips and recipes provided than just the very basic "Operating Instructions"?

It's top marks from me. This is a fantastic little bread maker. I'm a complete novice and all the loaves have turned out perfectly. Both gluten free and 'muggle'. Yes, the manual is rubbish, but it's easy to use so not particularly an issue. A true small loaf bread maker, so may not suit those wishing to make bigger loaves.

We are very pleased with this little bread maker, we previously had a large family one years ago so I was concerned as to whether this would be any good. Firstly I know from previous experience that the flour and ingredients matter if you want success first time so we used a the Allison Strong bread flour and the Allison yeast powder . Set it for a basic loaf on Medium crust . We were very happy to get a perfect loaf ! So tasty, and lightly toasted was beautiful. The loaf was bigger than I expected (because some reviews are unfair in my opinion) you would get sandwiches for four just about. We were looking to only want small amounts as we don’t eat much bread. I’m looking forward to trying some Heritage Flours and seeing what sort of loaf it makes. The Flours make a surprising difference to the outcome. The Panasonic website has a large selection of not only bread but cake and other recipes.

This is a very disappointing breadmaker. It works about 30%of the time. I always follow the instructions and I’ve had more disasters than successes. Today I’ve had another sunken loaf and I’m fed up. My Lakeland one worked every time
