Bread Machines- Help Me Choose?

Hi Everyone-

I'm looking for a bread machine to make gluten-free breads for my boyfriend & I'm hoping you might have some recommendations! Apparently, the new cuisinart CBK200 model has a gluten-free bread setting- does anyone have this machine? If so, do you like it?

Research I've done on the internet tends to recommend the Zojirushi line of machines but I'm worried that without a gluten-free setting the bread won't turn out well.

Any other tips for making gluten-free bread in a bread machine would also be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance for your help!

I just received that Cuisinart Model as a gift from my mom. It does have the gluten free settings (even says so right on the box) and contains a gluten-free recipe booklet inside. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to use it yet. It sure looks pretty cool sitting on my counter though!!! Anyway, I know my mom did a lot of research on the bread makers before getting this machine so I can only assume its a good one.

Thanks so much for the quick response! I can't wait to hear how it works out for you.

Plan to play with whatever machine you purchase. So many things can effect the loaf...moisture level in the room, the moisture content of the flours, which flours you use, etc. I have been baking my own bread for years, even before going gluten-free. Try doing a search for posts on bread machines. There are several including some of mine which list possible recipes, places where you can purchase bulk grains, etc.

I found that the machine--or how expensive it is--are not as critical a factor as using it regularly enough to become comfortable with what works in your kitchen. I never spent a lot of money on machines with special cycles. I do recommend that you get one that has a maximum loaf size of 1 1/2 pounds. gluten-free breads tend to turn out better in smaller loaves.

Mix your dry ingredients into a large batch so that you can just measure out a couple of cups of your mix, add the egg, oil, and buttermilk, then go for it.

Good luck.

I've had my Zoj for about a year and I love it. I haven't had any problems baking any gluten free breads. I do think there are some cheaper brands that also work fine also...

I have the Sunbeam $39.95 model (got it at Wal-Mart). I've made two loaves so far, and they've turned out fine. Didn't even seem to stress the machine. I've heard the heavy duty ones are better since gluten-free bread is tougher on the motor, but I got mine as a birthday present and it seems to be doing the job just fine so far.

Like mamaw I have the Zoj and love it also. I use the Manna from Anna mix on the regular setting and it comes out perfect. I highly recommend it.

I have Open Original Shared Link which I got from Target for $59.99. I just set it on "Basic" mode and it works with out any problems at all with all the gluten-free recipes and mixes I have tried so far.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
