An electrical appliance, which consists of a body with a removable bowl for loading the necessary products, with a heating element, a control panel for setting the required modes.

Automates the process of preparing bakery products and some dishes at home. Used to speed up the process of making bread at home.

The main functions of a home gadget for modern housewives include:

• mixing the required products;
• kneading dough;
• heating and proofing of dough;
• baking products.

This is possible with a specially selected program on the display of the device.

Varieties of models, which are

The simplest models with a minimum of functions will help you make simple dough and bake bread.

But manufacturers took into account the opinion of consumers interested in the versatility of the model for the possibility of experimenting in cooking. Therefore, more complex models for cooking are presented on the consumer market:

• various types of dough - dumplings, cheburek, butter, for dumplings;
• various types of bread - wheat, rye, yeast-free, gluten-free, French;
• preserves, jams;
• yoghurts.

Let's look at the technical capabilities of the models in order to choose the right bread machine for your case.

Criterias of choice

The main points that determine our choice when buying are:

• appearance;
• technical characteristics (dimensions, power, electrical consumption; material);
• ease of use;
• ease of care;
• availability of additional functions;
• product quality;
• the possibility of repair or replacement of parts in case of breakdown;
• service centres;
• equipment;
• instruction;
• cost.

Appearance, dimensions

In appearance, bread makers resemble deep fryers, multicooker. Rectangular and oval shapes are common. In the upper part there is a lid, into which a glass window can be built to observe the ongoing process.

Neutral colors:

• Gray;
• the black;
• white;
• light beige.

With various multi-colored inserts.

They are less common, but you can pick up an unusual red or pink color.

The control panel can be located both in the upper part, on the cover; so be rendered separately.

The sizes are also different. It should be chosen based on the capabilities of the kitchen room. For small kitchens, choose a smaller size so that there is no problem with the space required. For a large space, larger models are suitable.

The weight of the bread maker is also different - from light, weighing 4 kg, to more weighty, 8 kg. This is also worth considering when choosing a surface for its installation.

It is necessary to install the bread maker not near heat sources, not in places with high humidity, on a flat surface.

This will protect the cooking process itself, its safety, long-term preservation of the apparatus, and product quality.

Equipment

The furnace includes:

• A special bowl-shape for loading food and forming a roll. It can be one or several. Since the shape of the baked bread can be different: from loaves to baguettes, the shape of the bowls is also different.
• 2 baking tins: round and rectangular. They can be in two parts (for Easter cakes).
• Several knives for mixing ingredients.
• Measuring spoon, measuring cup for accurate portioning, as spoons, both tablespoons and teaspoons, can contain a different volume of products.

If in the recipe book the ingredients are given in ounces, then their ratio should be translated to the Russian measure of weight, or purchased electronic kitchen scales.

Technical capabilities

• Power

It can be from 450 W to 1200 W. The difference will be in faster kneading of the dough and baking products. The speed at which the bread will be baked also depends on the power.

If this point is not fundamental, and you prefer simple, uncomplicated baking, then an indicator of 500 - 700 W will perfectly cope with the operation.

For frequent use, with more functionality, choose a mini oven 800 - 1100 W.

For advanced baker users, a more complex model is suitable, which, in addition to ordinary bread, will be able to prepare various types of it, buns, baguettes, muffins, and also jam, jam, yogurt. And all this with operational speed. Your choice is options with power from 1200 W to 1600 W, and do not deny yourself anything!

But!

Do not forget that the higher the power of the appliance, the higher the consumption of electricity consumed.

For budget-conscious bakers, this factor should be considered.

• Control type

According to the type of control, electric baking ovens are divided into only two types:

1. sensory. Modern, beautiful appearance of the panel with on / off function, but it has its own minus. The process may fail or stop at an inappropriate moment if a voltage surge occurs in the electrical network at this time. Conclusion is not the best option. But if it is preferable for you, then you just need to be on the safe side: choose a model with a regulator against power surges.
2. Button or electronic programming. Of course, it looks like “yesterday”, but much more reliable. If you are not chasing new items in the world of technology, then such a stove will serve you much longer.

Please be aware that

some devices are not provided by manufacturers with a switch button.

In such cases, stopping the operation of the bread maker is possible by disconnecting the plug from the outlet.

An important point is the Russified menu. Agree that it is much more convenient and understandable when all the commands in the menu are marked in Russian. This will minimize baking mistakes and misunderstandings.

• Bread volume

The required amount of baked goods in different families is different, therefore, its volume at the exit is also needed accordingly.

This moment is taken into account in various models.

Electric baking ovens can bake loaves of various sizes, weighing from 0.5 kg to 1.5 kg:

• For a family of 1-2 people, a bowl is enough to bake a 500-750 gram loaf;
• For 3-4 people, a bread pan from 800-1300 grams is suitable;
• For a large family with a large consumption of bakery products, you will need a bowl that provides an output of a loaf of 1500 gr .;
• You can also choose a universal model with the ability to adjust the weight from 500 - 1500 grams.

• Number of modes

Modes are built-in programs with which you can get various bakery products or even a dish.

The bread maker has 3 to 25 different functions.

Standard for all are:

• top frying - low, medium-fried, fried.
• preparation of dough with the addition of yeast and yeast-free dough;
• baking French bread (baguette);
• whole grain rolls (wheat);
• accelerated baking. It will help to reduce the cooking time by 2 times, but it somewhat affects the density of the crumb.

Having filled in the necessary ingredients, in compliance with the required amount, you need to choose the type of bread, the color of the crust from the menu. Pressing the start button will start the cooking process.

• Body and bowl material

The material for the manufacture of homemade bread ovens is:

1. metal - stainless steel. Durable material that provides uniform heating. High price.
2. heat-resistant plastic is a light material with a low cost, but its wear resistance is lower.
3. Baking bowls have a non-stick coating - diamond fluoride or Teflon.

The oven should not get very hot in working order.

Additional options

The functionality is expanded by including less necessary, but still providing opportunities for a variety of products.

The cooking mode can be activated in the menu:

• cupcakes;
• Borodino bread;
• rye bread;

  There may be several of them: for filling and for yeast.

• Protection against power surges. A model with built-in protection program will do if you have frequent power outages. The device is able to memorize the program in case of light supply interruptions up to 15 minutes

Right choice

Based on data on various types of models of bread makers and their functional capabilities, we make a choice based on:

• family size:
  1-2 people - a model with a power of 500-700 W, a roll weighing up to 0.7 kg;
  for 3-4 persons - from 800-1100 W, loaves from 0.8-1.3 kg.;
  from 5-7 people - version with a capacity of 1.5 thousand W, rolls with a volume of 1.5 kg.
• Presence of small children - with a child lock.
• To get a simple white (wheat) roll, 4-7 programs are enough.
• For gourmets and preparing a large assortment - with the largest number of options 1-25.
• For those who like to enjoy yogurt or jam - with the ability to prepare these dishes.
• For allergy sufferers, as well as those intolerant of gluten - the possibility of making gluten-free bread.
• If you want smart so as not to be distracted by adding ingredients - you need one with a dispenser.
• Frequent voltage surges are observed - with power outage protection function.

The correctly chosen model will delight you with the uniformity of the kneading and the quality of baking.

Common problems

On the outside of the baking dish there is a rotation unit, which consists of a Teflon sleeve. Over time, under the action of high temperatures, it expands and gets dough and water into it.

Due to the trapped products, the bowl begins to rotate with great effort, becomes difficult, starts to jam, the drive breaks down, the oven breaks down.

It is not always possible to find a replacement for a similar bowl that matches the purchased brand of bread machine.

In some types, the rotation unit is made not on a Teflon bushing, but on a closed industrial bearing, the service life of which is much longer.

How to choose what to look for

During a visual inspection of the selected device, you must:

• check the cable for insulation quality;
• take into account that plastic models are easier to clean than metal ones;
• according to some reviews, sometimes flour remains in the corners in rectangular bowls;
• pay attention to ease of use, care;
• for noise insulation during operation;
• inspect the bottom of the bowl and the bushing fastening material.

How to care

After each baking, it is necessary to clean the x / oven. This will increase the duration of its work and maintain the quality of products.

This requires:

• wait for complete cooling after the end of the process;
• take out the form;
• use a soft cloth or sponge for washing dishes and detergent to clean the inner container, dispenser, spatula, bowl;
• if there are sticky dough particles on the surface, it should be soaked in an aqueous solution with dish detergent for a while;
• having detached the softened adhering crusts, rinse the surface again;
• washing the outside of the case provides for accuracy when cleaning the temperature sensor;
• leave all parts of the stove to dry completely, then assemble and close.

Under no circumstances should you use abrasive substances, metal brushes, hard sponges, rough rags, or alcohol-based detergents when cleaning.

Do not rub or scrape hard-to-clean areas. All this can lead to a violation of the non-stick layer and shorten the operating period.
