Club Breadmakers

Happy Mama:

I've never heard of Princess brand before... It's good too?

Both mrswongtuition and myself mentioned about this brand at the beginning of this thread.

Yes, I trust Princess' things. Had a coffeemaker (gift from husband's office function) before and now have a mini Princess steamer which is super useful, good for 2 paus and now my boys can have a variety of things for breakfast, don't have to stick to breads.

Have a regular steamer but I don't have the kind of space for the regular steamer to be on the kitchen top all the time, so this teeny tiny mini Princess steamer is such a blessing. :love:

They didn't have. Only Kenwood and the z brand.


Harvey Norman got warehse sale in Benoi Rd 2moro and sun. Don't know if they carry kitchen electrical items. If can, maybe will make a trip there.

This habit I got from my DH after being with him for almost 20 yrs with him. Must look look, see see, ask ask, think think, then make a decision .... so for me, it might take some time b4 I purchase one lah

There are a few brands like princess, kenwood, severin, panasonic ...

Actually all the brands you mentioned, Z, Princess, Kenwood, Severin are good brands. Not sure about Panasonic's breadmachine though as I have never heard or seen such a machine from Panasonic before. Am under the impression that Panasonic is more into microwave ovens rather than breadmachines.

Haha, would say that is very, very cautious of both you and husband .... take such a long time to decide on one thing.

HN has a warehouse sale this weekend? But .... but Benoi is so far away, don't know worth your effort going all the way there or not.

I have seen Princess being sold at Courts before. Forgot if Taka has it too. Not sure about Best Denki and HN though.

Yup, saw the kenwood one, but too bulky. Honestly z is really compact and space saving by far

Oh I see.... Sorry I must be very suaku not to know... Seldom shop for electrical appliances... But guess with the new friends I've made here, I'll shop for it more often

25hourmaid,


Will the shape (horizontal or vertical) of the pan affect the jam/kaya making process ???

Think you mentioned something abt this but can’t remember the details …

Hey, ksi, ask you something.


Happy Mama sent me the Z basic recipe just now but I realised that the butter sequence is after the flour, which is something different from Bluesky. Did you follow that sequence when you made the loaf this afternoon or you followed the Bluesky sequence? :?

Most machines have all the wet ingredients below and flour and yeast last.

I followed the Z sequence just in case I have accident. The only thing I did not follow was I did not use butter, I used olive oil spread.

not sure about the horizontal one, but the Zoji vertical one has a jam function.

Then I would say go for the Z one, especially since it has been proven that it makes good bread and most important of all, the size.
