Anyone here uses a breadmaker? Any recommendations and reviews? Thinking of getting one. :evil:

Had one before… Princess brand i think… gave away coz I could never churn out soft bread like those sold outside despite using the best Canadian flour and bread improvers etc…

Do peruse the link provided by peterch above.

Most of us have purchased the zojirushi model and are very happy with it.

dear experts :salute: :salute: :salute:


i was directed here by peterch and autumnbronze.

would appreciate some advice on which breadmaker to get.

i have never baked bread in my entire life. So I am a newbie. Don't know why all of a sudden feel like making my own bread. :shock:

Is it true homemade bread is harder? Difficult to achieve the soft texture?

thank you!

Me no expert here. I bought my Zmachine a few mths ago & have never stop baking since then. I think all machine about the same. Z machine quite X but it's compact & juz nice for my micro kitchen.
2 things I dont like about the Z machine, (1) don't have a button for baking only (2) if I do a full cycle - kneading, proofing & baking, I have to wait until machine cools down before I can do another bread, this I can understand. What I don't is, I use the cookie dough option twice to knead my dough & I can't choose it the 3rd time, need to wait until it cools again! The cookie dough cycle took 13mins, twice only 26mins & the machine is already overheated?
You can achieve soft & fluffy bread with practice. I personally feel that using oven to bake is better than using bread machine to bake. You can control how long you want to do your 2nd proofing & also how brown u wanna your bread to be. Further more, you can bake buns & other fanciful bread instead of juz loaf bread.
I have not buy any commercial bread since I started baking.

Anyone bought from Parisilk before? Is it realiable agent?

Anyone knows if Takashimaya sells bread machine too? still got some unused vouchers.
