BM256 Breadmaker Review We rated the bread pan and kneading paddle for how easy they were to clean after each use. All were rated exactly the same for this, and all are handwash only. Energy efficiency Build quality is seriously solid for a fairly affordable breadmaker. The love-or-loathe design is unusual, white with a retro-style handle for the lid, reminiscent of a 1950s fridge. And instead of a window for inspecting progress, the lid boasts a built-in fan to assist cooking. The BM260 is compact, the size of an A4 sheet.

The Kenwood BM260 is a quirky mid-priced breadmaker. Unusual design touches include retro-ish styling, fan-assisted cooking and even an adjustable spoon.Unfortunately, while the BM450’s touch panel may look good, the buttons aren’t particularly easy to use; I often had to stab at a button a couple of times to make it register. The LCD display gives you all the info you need about what program and bread size you’re selecting and where you are in the baking cycle, but I found it hard to read.~

It has an “eco” program that uses less energy and time – it bakes a white loaf or bread mix in 85 minutes – and it comes with a glossy book containing a wealth of foodie recipes. The resulting loaves are impressive, making the Kenwood a good buy. Features include the aforementioned “eco” program and a gluten-free program, plus programs for breads, cakes, doughs and jams. It makes loaves in three sizes, ranging from a 500g loaf made using 350g flour to a 1kg loaf using 600g flour. Baking a loaf takes 3 to 3.5 hours on a typical program.This looks lovely in stainless steel with a crisp snow white top. LCD display that shows options, time (countdown) and cooking stages. buttons to select things like bread type, size of loaf, crust colour. Had bread makers before but this thing actually works for crust colour without burning the crust. My tip use a little milk as it helps it brown. Surprised to get a measuring jug and a nifty little spoon for dry ingredients that is selectable in size between 1 tablespoon to half a teaspoon (very useful!). A delay timer is fitted as standard on the BM256, ensuring you can have fresh bread in the morning. Don't worry if you are late to collect your bread as the BM256 will automatically turn itself to the handy keep warm feature. For up to an hour, your bread will stay hot, ready and waiting for you.

Cakes and pastries: From classic cakes to breakfast pastries, some breadmakers come with presets for sweet treats, too. See our most popular cake recipes for ideas. Measuring at 345 x 250 x 310 millimeters, the Kenwood BM250 has a compact design that can fit neatly on any kitchen countertop. It weighs approximately 6300 grams, making it relatively lightweight and portable.Breadmakers are versatile in the loaf sizes and crust colours they offer, but many come with settings that extend beyond the realm of simple bread recipes. Here are a few other ways to make the most of your gadget: We baked several white and wholemeal loaves using each bread maker, following the exact recipes for each loaf and judging them for their evenness and texture.

With my standard Tesco bread flour, the wholemeal loaf collapsed at the top, creating an odd horned shape. When I swapped to Allinsons Very Strong wholemeal, I saw a much better loaf (below), evenly risen and baked throughout. It was a little on the dry side, though. We judged each bread maker on how easy the controls and program options were to understand, how easy the recipes were to follow, and how straightforward the bread was to remove from the bread pan after baking. With a power output of 480 watts, the Kenwood BM250 provides sufficient power to knead and bake bread effectively. Its construction is made from premium materials, ensuring reliability and durability over time. The bread maker is known for its consistent performance, allowing users to enjoy freshly baked bread on a regular basis. The BM450’s automatic fruit and nut dispenser slots neatly into the top of the lid. The fruit loaf I made with the dispenser came out well, with a good even spread of added ingredients throughout.

Yes, if you’re looking for a mid-priced breadmaker then the Kenwood won’t disappoint.
