Russell Hobbs 23620 Compact Fast Breadmaker, 660 W, Black

Product Information

The window to view the bread is so helpful, as is the timer, especially for me with ADHD as I forget that things are cooking. Overall, the Russell Hobbs Compact 23620 is a budget-friendly bread maker with basic features that would be ideal for small families or individuals looking for an entry-level bread maker.

The sides and top of the bread were exactly the same colour and both were within the range of the rich, nutty brown we were looking for. It uses an advanced 360-degree baking technology, which combines with a non-stick ceramic pan to produce soft and delicious bread. You don't need to be a serious home baker, because a bread making machine will make fresh loaves — and plenty more, in fact — with just the touch of a button. If your dough looks right and you’ve eliminated the other options, it may be that you’ve added too much yeast. If the volume of ingredients is correct for the size of the pan,then the recipe probably needs more sugar.

She also loved the viewing window to check in on her bread rising - it's a feature some other bread makers lack. Before you add your dough-making ingredients, rub down the inside of the pan and the dough paddles with oil. The breadmaker also has non-slip feet on the base to prevent the appliance from moving or slipping on shiny kitchen work tops.

Bread paddles will always leave some sort of hole in the middle of the loaf, which may be frustrating to home bakers. Other features include a handy light, which allows you to check on the bread as it bakes, plus a collapsible paddle for kneading. It also tells you when to add ingredients and you can set it up to bake overnight if you want, too," Sarah reported.

With the Russell Hobbs 23620 Fast Bake Breadmaker you can enjoy fresh, homemade bread quicker than ever before. Featuring the largest control panel of all the models on this list, this breadmaker is ideal for those who struggle with their eyesight or are simply not fans of pokey screens.
