Club Breadmakers

mrswongtuition:

I prefer to use the breadmaker to knead but my oven to bake.


I'm using Princess and my mum's using Kenwood. Both have been with us for 3-5 years, used weekly.

Anything from Zojirushi is good.
My mum's Zojirushi electric water kettle has been with her since I was born!And it's still working great!!!

:shock: :shock: :shock: I am impressed mrs wong!!

Sun, autumnbronze, not difficult to make bread with bread machine at all.


I love the smell and taste of fresh bread in my household. Even during baking, it is already a very welcoming aroma…

As for jam function, I have not tried but I believe it works magically easily like what 25hourmaid has shared.

Incidentally my ex-breadmachine is Bluesky (vertical pan) but Carrefour told me they are no longer bringing in. When I searched the internet and wrote to the supplier, they would not ship to Singapore. So there goes my Bluesky dream and I have to switch my attention to Zojirushi(vertical pan).

Totally agree on that! :celebrate: BTW, one reason for my not baking bread often is that I am put off by the slicing part. How do you overcome that :?

Been there, done that, that's why dare to share! The jam function is amazing and it is a must for me where breadmachines are concerned! :love:

Haha, didn't expect to meet another Bluesky user here! Like you said, I like everything about Bluesky, except for it's vertical pan but I had no choice since it one the only one available given my budget and my need for the jam function.

BTW, do you mind sharing the price of this Zojiroshi model that you have in mind? :?

I have this model! (or fairly close, I think).


It’s so so. The bread is not so good like what you buy outside. It’s hard, has a more floury taste, and doesn’t keep well. Not sure if all bread machines are like this because this machine is the 1st I’ve ever bought.

About difficulty, not difficult at all. Just difficult to eat, cackle. (Unfortunately true). I love the Japanese soft rolls or the hard European textured ones from Cedele. The bread from this machine doesn’t come close. My recipe is straight from the machine pamphlet. I tried other recipes too but the outcome is similar.

Oh whew!! U too Blobbi?!? Glad to know I'm not alone as I have the same prob too.

Mine is the older model and whilst it was easy to bake the breads with the breadmaking machine, my breads didn't turn out as soft as how I like it to be. The other headache was the washing up. Found that a chore. In the end, it's a white elephant. And I'm not just referring to the logo, pun not intended

Then again, I aint no Nigella Lawson so don't just take my word for it.

Blobbi, schweppes, serious ah? There goes my Zojirushi dream too...


Anyone has used a Bluesky and switch to Zojirushi?

The Bluesky was a gem to me. Lovely bread it made and one would eat it non-stop... Aiya....I so miss my breadmaker.

Gasp ksi, you’re giving me hope. Schweppes, did u see that? Bluesky, hmm. Did it close shop?


I read a few posts back- looks like we’re gonna be staring at our white elephants for awhile, Schweppes. This Zojirushi lasts and lasts, aiee.

Bluesky was a brand brought in by Carrefour and it sold like hot cakes.
When I called Carrefour, they said that they were not bringing in anymore and I had no idea why. When I contacted the Bluesky in US, they would not ship to Singapore too. So that was that...and I don't think the hope I have created can actualise....

Hi, my friend bought Panasonic and said it's really good. I haven't used it myself though. Thought of getting one too. The last time I tried making bread was manually i.e. using hand to roll the dough etc and making sausage bun. Unfortunately, the bread wasn't fluffy enough. :stupid: :stupid:
