Panasonic today announces the SD-RD250 Bread Maker - that features a new raisin/dried fruit/nut dispenser, which allows for the ingredients to be added at the beginning of the baking process and conveniently dispersed evenly at the optimum time, during the bread-baking process.

Using a microprocessor for the controlled baking, the SD-RD250 makes delicious, evenly-baked, homemade bread that is easy for any home baker. The new convenient dispenser, which holds approximately 5.3 ounces, is removable for easy washing.
