Don't laugh but last week I bought a Lidl Silvercreast Food Proessor!! Well to be honest it is the best I can afford at this point in time. From what I can gather the machine is based on the Bosch MUM 4.

Anyway I have two-weeks to try it out and see if it is worth keeping, Lidl have a very good returns policy.

Over the next few days I'll be playing around with the machine, making a cake and possible a few cup cakes just to give it a trial run. but would appreciate some guidelines on how long to use the dough hook for when mixing my dought - give me a guideline for mixing a 500g white loaf.

It would be great if any members with experience of the Silvercrest machine would reply and let me know their experiences
