I just got a new breadmaker (Panasonic) and noticed two pecularities
in the instructions (compared with the old one's).

(1a) The old instructions said (when using the delay timer) to put the
� � liquids, salt and sugar in, then the flour, and finally the yeast
� � on top, to keep the yeast separate until the mixing starts.

(1b) The new ones say to put the yeast in the bottom, cover it with
� � the flour, and then put everything else, including the liquids,
� � on top, to keep the yeast separate until the mixing starts.

� � To me, (a) seems more intuitively correct, but I've been
� � following (b) with the new one for several batches and had good
� � results. �Any opinions?

(2) �The instructions for the new one specifically say to wash the
� � inside of the pan only, and not to immerse it, so obviously it
� � can't go in the dishwasher. �(The old one went in the dishwasher
� � every time; to be fair, I replaced the pan twice in four years
� � because the spindle started getting loose, but I don't think the
� � dishwasher was the cause and I'm sure I read the instructions
� � before I started doing it.)

� � Is this a common restriction on new breadmakers?

I bought mine a couple of years ago and it says to do ( b). �It doesn't seem
to work very well, but then I am using gluten free ingredients.

Huh, you can't make bread without gluten.
