Panasonic Model SDBT56P
"I've been using it since about 1991. (I'm on my second one.) It makes a small enough loaf that we can finish it off before it has gotten too dry, stale or moldy. On the negative side (and this just may be operator error), it's sometimes hard to get a rise out of it when using a 100 percent whole-wheat recipe."

"I've used it for 12 years and it has not failed me in any way. And it has a wealth of settings! For bread: basic, French, sweet, whole wheat, express (58 minutes) and express (80 minutes) and three settings for crust. I usually opt for the 'simpler is better' approach to equipment, but now I appreciate all these features/possibilities. I check it occasionally through the first 20 to 30 minutes to be sure the liquid/flour ration is working. Sometimes the stir paddle does not 'reach' all the mixture that clings towards the top, so I simply take a spatula and assist the process."

Candied Citrus Peel
• Peel from 1 orange or lemon

Directions
Using a vegetable peeler, thinly peel orange or lemon rind, avoiding the white pith, which is bitter. Chop to the desired texture.

"I'm on my second bread machine. The first one was the original Bread Machine and it vibrated off the kitchen counter one day and crashed to the floor. My current bread machine has been churning dough for as many years as I've been running. I had to replace the paddle in it once. The most challenging thing about making the bread is to remember to put in all of the ingredients in the order listed, and to be there to take the bread out when the beeper sounds."

Zojirushi Bread Machine
"I like the fact that it produces a horizontal loaf, has a quick bread cycle (2:18) and has two mixing paddles. Dislike? I think this machine may overmix the dough, causing the raisins to get mashed up. Add raisins at absolutely the last opportunity."
