Panasonic's new gadget is a bread maker that also churns ice cream — I went hands-on with the wild two-in-one appliance, and the results were seriously tasty
I've tested a lot of multi-function kitchen appliances, but never one as strange as this — so how well does it actually work?
Panasonic has introduced a unique two-in-one appliance that combines the functions of a bread maker and an ice cream maker. During a hands-on experience at a cooking school in London, a mix of journalists, influencers, and their family members, including children, got to test the gadget. Despite initial assumptions of separate appliances, this compact device managed to handle both tasks.
Making bread was straightforward, requiring only the pouring of ingredients, selecting a program, and allowing the machine to perform the necessary kneading, proving, and baking. Loaves prepared were praised for their crusts and centers. For ice cream, the appliance needed a chilled bowl for at least eight hours before use. Once frozen, a bread tin adapter was added, and the ice cream ingredients were poured in, followed by a button press for the machine to churn the mixture into a light and flavorful result.
Frozen yogurt and fruity compote were also tested, with the latter requiring simply adding a spoonful of jam or blended ingredients to the mix. The new Panasonic appliance showcased versatility in the kitchen, potentially replacing a conventional oven for smaller families with its multifunction capabilities.
