A Chef Tests a 37-In-1 Bread Maker | Sorted Food

[@Catholicterp7]

One of the main reasons I love sorted so much is that in all their gadget testing they take into consideration people with disabilities. As a disabled person it means a lot.

[@TheIrishAlchemist205]

Tell me about it!!

[@s_rofbear]

Agree, agree, agree!!!

[@dalelc43]

As a disabled person I don't require someone to tell me, I can see for myself. Example if you can't knead this will do it for you. No, really it works even if your disabled? Wow that's helpful.

[@AShiftingofFate]

@@dalelc43 To be fair this practice goes back to when they first started gadget reviews, and would often question why something even existed, it was so pointless, and then folks in the comments would point out that it may not be aimed at them. After a couple episodes they started to take into account why something useless to them, like a slow automatic can opener, might make a world of difference to someone with a disability. People will call something uselsss because it is not useful to them personally, and these guys point out that just because you don't need it someone might, and you shouldn't dismiss, or make fun of a product you are fortunate enough not to need.

[@moniquem783]

I’ve had one for over 10 years. It was $99 Australian, so about £50 and I can select the loaf size I want from 450g, 700g or 900g. It’s brilliant. Living alone, I could never get through a commercial loaf of bread before it went mouldy, and I have hand issues so can’t knead. Now I make a small loaf which fits nicely in the toaster and I generally get through it before it goes too stale. I’ve used the dough only function to make pizza dough, and I use the timer fairly regularly. I haven’t gotten around to making jam in it, but maybe one day. I did recently drop the pan on the tiled floor and squished it. Replacing the pan was almost as much as the whole unit and it still works so I just have slightly misshapen loaves. When I move and have more bench space I will be splashing out on the Breville (Sage in the UK) machine with the kneading blade that folds down for the bake, as the big hole in the bottom gets a bit annoying. It has the size options like the current one and can do lots of different things. I probably will use lots of the different features on that one, but unless you’re really into bread, start with a fairly basic, cheaper machine.

[@jaybehkay2438]

They make ones with fold down blades?!? That’s awesome. Ours is removable for easy cleaning but it also just sticks into the loaf and blunts my bread knife when I inevitably try and cut through it 😭

[@moniquem783]

@@jaybehkay2438 yes! The Breville (Sage) Custom Loaf Pro. I did get it and I love it! It leaves a little hole in the bottom of the loaf but only about 1cm deep, compared to the great big gaping hole left by a regular one. I did read in reviews to oil the paddle after each use and didn’t do it and it did stiffen up, so now I keep a small jar of oil next to the machine and just pop it in there between loaves. It stays nice and flippy flappy now 😁

[@gabrieldias3479]

I'm late to the party, but I own a breville one (don't know if the same model) and while the blade does fold, I find it better to remove it manually during the last raising cycle (the one right before actually baking). Even the user manual says that you can make that, if you want a very small hole.

[@moniquem783]

@@gabrieldias3479 I bought the Breville one. I love it! I just leave the blade in and let it fold down as more often than not I set it at night to bake in the morning so I wake to the smell of baking bread. I love it. I haven’t really played with the other features yet as I haven’t had it that long, but I just bought a pizza oven so I’ll be making pizza dough soon 😁

Back in the '90s, my family used a bread maker on a regular basis. It was very different in that there were no automatic dispensers; you simply had to add stuff at proper times. Also, the bread was thinner and taller, much closer to that of store-bought sliced bread. It did a wonderful job and it was always wonderful to dig into freshly baked crusty bread.

My family have always had breadmakers, and this was especially necessary when I moved to Singapore and the bread was all highly sweetened which gave me migraines, so I got really good at following the recipes but then adding my own twists to them!

As an aside - we also used to make mango chutney in ours!

[@konzetsu6068]

we had one back in the day, delicious, but limited recipes so it only came out now and then.

I have been using Panasonic bread machines on a daily basis for 30 + years. My sons had fresh bread every day for all their school years. We have an Airbnb and always do a fresh loaf in the Welcome pack and it regularly gets a mention in the 5 star reviews we get. I also have a Panasonic Combination Oven which starts at 30°C so you can rise and bake in one action. I only ever use my bread machine for doughs and rarely for baking. So one person portion (100g) of my pasta is made from 50g of either Emmer or Khorasan flour and 50g of OO Durum wheat flour that all comes from Shipton Mill. Put 100g flour and 1 medium egg (not whisked) into program 31 which is 20 mins. (Never put salt into pasta dough only in the water you cook it in. Let it prove for 30mins at room temperature. I then roll it out and cut it using my Kenwood Chef pasta adapters. The best pasta you can imagine and my grandchildren will vouch for that as when they arrive they always say "Grandad can we have pasta"... And now to a simple loaf of the finest bread. I will point out that I only use 00 Durum Pasta flour for all my bread and cakes as I buy 25kg at a time and everything turns out consistently perfect, but you can of course use ordinary strong bread flour instead. First loaf is a white one. So 300g flour, 1tsp salt,1tsp sugar, 20ml vegetable or olive oil, 200ml water insert in machine then add 1 tsp scoop of dried yeast to hopper. Prog 22 then when dough is done turn into silicone loaf mould (round of rectangle) into Panasonic Combi with dual setting 40°C for one hour the 200°C 22mins. Perfect. Wholemeal bread I use 100g Wholemeal flour 200g 00 Durum Wheat 1tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar, 20ml oil, 200ml water 1tsp dried yeast Prog 25 and exactly the same process as previous loaf. I do many many more

Got a Breville one for our wedding about 20 years ago and still going strong. Love it. Usually buy the pre-portioned packs from supermarket (each about 1/2 the price of buying a decent loaf), but play with them a bit too. Add a decent serrated bread knife and its awesome.

Hi Judith, I'm not Ben but the blue bandages are specially made band aids for chefs! They protect him from infection while ensuring his hands are still sanitised enough to touch food. They're resistant to hand-washing (chefs do that a LOT!) and best of all, they contain small amounts of metal, so that if one falls off in a large amount of food, they can be found easier with a metal detector.

I think both have a time and place. I can't be bothered to make yeast doughnuts but will do the soda fry ups when I can. The kids like those and homemade bread more. But the local Baker loves it when we come in for a bakers dozen. Bread makers are great for money savings over time and choice. I lived in the middle of nowhere for a while where grocery shopping was a once a month event. When you're making loads for a bunch of people, it's cheaper and nicer to make it from,50lb bag quantities, yourself. The other thing you can do is leave it to proof the first time and then freeze batches for later. It's more contained in a bread maker and covered.

If one has the money, the Panasonic is definitely worth it's money. (We mostly use bread baking mix)

[@patriciasalem3606]

I've had a budget machine (about $70 USD) for nearly a year. I can make everything shown here, although I haven't tried all the recipes. One thing they didn't do was pizza dough, which I make almost weekly for a homemade Margherita pizza. The only difference I can see is the dispenser function. Mine has no yeast dispenser (it goes in with the rest of the ingredients), and it beeps when it's time to add things like nuts, seeds, raisins, etc. (so you have to be around during the cycle). I do love waking up to the aroma of fresh bread, and it's great with morning coffee. When it dries, it's still good for toast. It was one of the better items I purchased during the pandemic.

[@johngreen8693]

We have the same bread maker and it works well. To us the main benefit is the gluten free capability! My wife is Coeliac and the shop bought GF breads are usually quite average. Home baking GF bread is tricky, it uses a sort of paste rather than stretchy dough. This makes decent GF loaves effortlessly - great value for that! .

[@jenblack98]

My family has a bread maker for a good couple of years now and it's one of the best kitchen gadgets we have (other than possibly the rice cooker). Our one isn't as complicated as this one but it does it's job really well. It's great for pizza dough as well because it contains all the mess and gives great pizza dough. It's also great for taking fresh bread to bring and share meals as everyone loves fresh bread.

[@liamhedderick3917]

I know others have already commented on this but please test the gluten-free bread recipes there so much more awkward to make work so if that bread maker can do it right as easily as the other recipes then that's a game-changer.

Already googling for a bread machine that is a little cheaper and doesn’t necessarily make pasta or jam. Fell in love with the bread straightaway. When you think how much preservatives and additives there are in just a simple white loaf of bread it is staggering. Being able to make bread without those yukky things has to be better for you, let alone the money you are saving.

[@Rush_2906]

I got one for $100 (with discount) and it's pretty amazing. I even did yogurt in it and it works perfectly every single time. And I love and have some experience making bread but knowing that I can sleep in a normal schedule and getting up with fresh bread 👌🏻🥰

Love the fact that Ebbers gave the central slices to the normals and kept the first with the crunchy crust to himself.

[@Abunai_Gaming]

My mom has a rather old one of those but it still works. She was on a bread spree last year and I had one of the more unique breads out of it: rice bread. One of the ingredients is literally a bunch of cooked rice in the mix. While the end texture was a bit odd, quite gritty, the crust was SUBLIME. I'm sure with tinkering we might be able to get it where the inner bread texture is better because it was so unique.

[@meeperator]

1 year late, but try either smaller grain rice, slightly overcooked rice, or even blended rice. I've worked with gluten free pasta before that used rice starch as a main ingredient, so maybe try that out!

[@MuddyDuck...]

Pleased you finally covered a bread machine. 👍 Bought mine (top of the range Zojurishi) whilst living in Asia, as I missed western style breads. TWENTY years later it is still going strong, and has made thousands of loaves, pizza doughs etc etc. What I would add, is the importance of the quality of the flour - and learning to tweak recipes accordingly. But once you get right flour & yeast combo, the results can be amazing. Have had a few disasters over the years (mainly silly human error), but a lot of fun playing around making breads I would not have tried without the machine. Not many things better than waking to fresh warm bread every morning... 😋

I bought a cheap bread maker that promised so much but failed to deliver! Not wanting to be beaten I persevered for 20 years( yes I did mean 20 years!) and never had a proper success. I recently decided enough is enough and bought the same brand machine as you albeit a lower model( I paid £145 for my Panasonic). So far I have made several white and brown loaves of bread, even my wife and daughter say it’s a success. 10 minutes preparation and the bread is cooking, it’s so easy and convenient I now plan to expand my success with a few other recipe’s from the booklet, your Chelsea buns looked amazing. I should say that I bought my machine before coming across you video and this just adds to the fact it’s an amazing machine for me! Thanks guys.

[@Talmorne]

My family has an old bread machine that would be at least 30 years old by now and still works! Very basic with different settings for about 10 or so types of bread and a different setting for regular or large loaf, just throw all the ingredients in and you're good to go. I love making my own bread, we started using the machine again recently after it sitting in the cupboard for 10 years, and we haven't brought bread since! Our bread may not be as fluffy and light as store-bought bread, but honestly I prefer denser bread. My daily bread tends to be white bread but using whey instead of water (my family like to make paneer so there's always plenty of leftover whey for bread)

I've had one of these bread makers when they were first introduced, the mixing blade used to be a huge chunk of a blade and there used to not be a slot for yeast and other stuff. I think the new introduction of those slots really makes everything work even more smoothly than ever. My old one actually had a proofing only function on it which is pretty handy, a good proofing environment for the dough to thrive in. Seeing you guys try this one makes me think of another machine that you guys might like to take a look at. A soy milk maker! Some regions of China, people would have soy milk and youtiao (oil fried cake/pastry) for breakfast every day. That might be an interesting video idea. Another suggestion would be a wet mixer/grinder. This one is quite commonly used in Indian households to grind spices and grains into dust or paste to make dishes like dal and idli. It would be interesting to see you guy's thoughts about these machines.

[@sarahgael]

My whole family - aunts, grandad, cousins and parents - have had bread makers forever. We literally use it all the time. Mostly for white or wholemeal bread for sandwiches or pizza dough or bread buns or hot cross buns. We all love it! There is always fresh bread ready for lunch on a weekend and the left over bread makes the best toast. We haven’t really tried the more elaborate breads yet (and I’ve been wanting to test out the chocolate cake for a while). It’s the smell and taste of my childhood! 🥰

[@LadyFisher12]

We bought our eldest daughter a Panasonic 18 yrs ago as our Grand daughter became allergic to so many food items by the age of two! The machine was the only one of it's kind that had gluten free recipes and it was an amazing piece of kit! The machine came to us after a couple of years and it still continues to work! Our eldest son bought us a new version, same style as above and it is just as good as the original! We have the older one as a spare. Tips: When lifting bread tin out of machine use 2 oven mitts or two folded tea towels (one for each hand) so much easier to transfer bread out without burning hands, leave dough hook in until cold then hold tin upside down and gently wiggle blade up and down with a slight turn and it will come away in no time. Best breadmaking machines ever!

[@moshemoses305]

I bought this breadmaker around 18 months ago. We don't put dairy in it so we substitute butter for oil. We also play around with the flour types (not the quantities) and the added ingredients (nuts / raisins / seeds) and the bread is really good to fantastic every time. We've used it to make pizza dough and spelt rolls and it does all that work with very little effort. I did try the sourdough recipe a couple of times, but had to use soya or coconut yoghurt instead of regular yoghurt. It turned out ok, but wasn't anything particularly special. I'm hoping that is simply because of the non-dairy substitute. For someone who doesn't do a lot of bread making or baking, this is a REALLY really good purchase. Very easy to make, very easy to maintain. I highly recommend it.

[@keiath4]

I love my bread maker, like you said in the video the bread wont last as long so what I do is bake one cut it in half and freeze it, works a treat

When I was in 4th grade we did a science experiment and the one I did was with a bread maker.

The gluten free bread was amazing!

I've been using bread machines for years. Last upgrade was a French Baguette Maker. Family got downsized but I kept the bread machine. The one recommendation I would make is this, get a pocket book and maintain a bread diary of your bakes. Record the flavour, what worked and what didn't. The canned recipes are not always successful, and may need tweaking based on your location, due to ingredient differences, temperature, air pressure, and humidity.

[@kayjacoby290]

I got a bread machine for about $50 (US) last November, to reduce bread spending during the Pandemic. It's got about half the functions of the ones you have, but then, I pretty much just use 3 of them - basic, sweet & whole grain. As you found when making that 1st focaccia - not following directions can lead to failure. Otherwise, been quite pleased w/results. If hubby hadn't been advised to cut carbs waaay back, by his doctor; I'd still be making 2-3 loaves a week.

[@Maiasatara]

When I was married I had a bread maker that created a horizontal loaf (better crust for my preference.) I got to the point where I’d memorized the ratios and order of several favorites and the quality and ease were FANTASTIC. I keep looking to replace the model. I’m a freelance food writer (and recipe developer) who’s got savory cooking down and am working on many of the GBBO challenges but mastering bread doesn’t afford the same satisfaction. So if you share my love of creative food experimentation but don’t “need” that from bread making I say get one like this because the quality is outstanding. As the Sorted team mentioned - quality on the level of professional bakeries, variety is infinitely tweak-able and freshness? One literally cannot get fresher! Great video!

Mum of 4 here, had this machine for a few years now. It’s nice to have. Great with dough for bouncy products. Not so great for pizza for example. Gluten free turns out great (friend who introduced me to a bread maker was making gluten free bread in it for her autistic daughter) We have fresh bread in 3 hours, it gets devoured every time. When I fancy a different shape of bread (for packed lunches) I make the dough (sometimes in 45 min on the pizza setting) and bake two loaves in the oven for 20-ish min. Just do yourself a favour and don’t bake at night/early morning or it will wake you up with the lovely smell! :)
