SILVERCREST Professional Food Mixer Processor and Blender 6.3l

Product Information

We tried out the Lidl Silvercrest bread maker when it was on sale this time last year, to see if it could rise to the challenge of baking tasty bread on a budget.

Like most bread makers, this one comes with the option to set a timer, so you can wake up to freshly baked loaves in the morning.The Silvercrest is good value for a larger-capacity bread maker with such a wide range of baking options.

I get asked to work with all sorts of companies to review all sorts of gadgets and kitchenalia, mostly I don’t take up the offer but I thought this review was one you would be interested in. It has a good power, the 1200w motor certainly seems cut out for it, with a wide range of speeds plus a pulse button which I actually found very useful for folding in (better than the fold function on a k-Mix as I had more control) First impressions are okay, obviously it’s not as glamourous and seductively good looking as a KitchenAid or the Kenwood version but it’s not a bad looking piece of kit.

It’s lightweight, the body being plastic instead of metal, much easier to move around than my stand mixer but it’s bigger too so takes up more room on the worktop or in a cupboard.

Results of functions: A machine that efficiently mixed all the ingredients at the same time was a staple requirement. We looked for pavlova mixes that were glossy and well-whisked, cake mixes that were light with evenly distributed zest and finally, well-risen dough that was soft and light when baked. Our tests have found that you don't necessarily need to spend big to get a great bread maker. We've uncovered some bargains in the same price range as this Lidl bread maker that make decent loaves - but we've also found some mediocre models to avoid.Is your product defective and the manual offers no solution?
