Salter EK4189 Digital Bread Maker Review

The Salter EK4189 Digital Bread Maker is a multi-purpose, high capacity and adjustable appliance. It has an impressive 15 in-built cooking modes, namely Basic, French, Whole Wheat, Quick, Sweet, Ultra Fast I, Ultra Fast II, Dough, Jam, Cake, Sandwich, Bake, Gluten Free, Knead and Yoghurt. It has a 2lb loaf capacity. We like how you can adjust the shade and size of your loaf via the control panel.

The 12 hour delay timer is of interest. It lets you schedule baking the night before so that you can wake up to the delicious smell of freshly baked bread. One feature of particular interest is the large viewing window. It's much bigger than those on most other breadmakers.
