My latest triumph - Milk loaf in a pipe tin or small tin - recipes & photos

[Frozzie]

true true...just curious JD and have been flat out with visitors so hadnt had the time to read through much of hte comments lately..or links

if people are having alot of trouble getting them ie dont sent internationally and the person on ebay doesnt have them soon I could always order them and send them over working something out via pm..i know the site i posted a while back on this thread sends internationally for the same tin as you JD but i imagine like always postage is excessive..

Hiya all, Well they've listed one on ebay, it is 20.99 GBP and 5.50 GBP for postage. Thru ebay's exchange rate calculator (which is a guide), this converts to $33.53 and $8.79, but of course can change daily with the exchange rates.

What do you think Judy ? Do you think it's a reasonable price for the quality etc ?  Frozzie, if you were wanting one I think the postage would be the same, it's just a flat rate international postage.

P.S.  IF ANYONE BUYS ONE, PLEASE, PLEASE PAY VIA PAYPAL.  IT DOESN'T STATE ON THE SHIPPING THAT INSURANCE IS INCLUDED, HOWEVER IF YOU PAY BY PAYPAL AND IT DOESN'T ARRIVE, YOU CAN CLAIM YOUR MONEY BACK THRU PAYPAL, INSURED OR NOT. IN OTHER WORDS THE SELLER SHOULD INSIST ON INSURANCE AND IT'S KINDA TOUGH LUCK FOR THEM IF THEY DON'T.

Umm, some people would think it is expensive but I think it is worth it.  I don't know how much mine was because my friend and I are using the barter system, she sent me this and I am going to send her something she wants.  Let's just say that I would pay this price on ebay for one if I didn't already have mine.  It is not a heavy one like Chookies but it does a wonderful job.
I am just so pleased we have finally found a couple of different types for our members - now the choice is theirs as to whether they want it or not.  If anyone buys one or the other, I'm sure they will let us know in due course.

I think I paid $30 for mine , many years ago.

Well, I just bought one from the eBay store and it worked out to be around AUS $43. I'm looking forward to getting it  and I'm sure my husband will be wondering what he has bought via Paypal (that is, when he next checks his emails)   

Thanks Debbie

[judydawn]

Good for you virgo9, hope you love it as much as I do mine.  It will look small when you get it but somehow the loaf seems to be a lot bigger than the tin in the end   Hope there are many more buyers out there.

[Debbiebillg]

No problem whatsoever Virgo9, happy to help and glad you paid with Paypal.  I get so much out of this forum so happy to help, don't always post heaps but I read and search heaps. I did see that someone had bought one and wondered if it was one of us.  They've listed 4 more now so I need to decide whether to get one now hmmmmm.

Just went to check the mail before I pick the kids up from school, and sitting near the lettterbox on the garden wall was my bread tin  . How exciting!!!  It didn't take very long at all to arrive from the UK to here (Perth, WA) - a little over a week.

So I know what I will be doing tomorrow, or maybe even later tonight after the kids are in bed. I'm looking forward to making tank (pipe) loaves now. It was always my favourite type of bread growing up, especially for sandwiches and toast. My kids also love 'round' bread too!!! I will let you know how it turns out 

[achookwoman]

This is great , Virgo9.   You will find the texture fine,  so the kids will love it.  Mine is a bit larger and needs to bake for at least 40 mins.  Judy has one like yours, I think,  so take notice of what she does.  Have fun.

How exciting. I think forumthermomix should get group discounts everywhere.
