Needed to mix a small amount of mortar today to do a repair, less than 2kg which would get lost in bucket. Couldn’t find a clean small container as the missus has used them all for plants but while looking found the Lidl bread maker which was awaiting a trip to the tip, functionally it still works but the paddles have started to stick on the shafts too often for my patience plus the shaft seals are shot Anyhow decided to give it a whirl and added some mortar mix and water and set it on Pizza setting so the motor kicked in straight away and let run for a few minutes.It did a lovely job, far smoother than I would have got with a stick and container. Cleaned up the pan under the outside tap and due to the non stick coating that was easily done. Machine has had reprieve .
