I've been sort of thinking about a bread machine. I searched around and it looks like the best liked one is by Zojirushi....lots of totally positive reviews plus some positive one from gluten free owners. There's also a new one by Cuisinart for about half the price of the Zojirushi one, but no gluten comments (it has a gluten free cycle, apparently) but this one had some fairly negative reviews in general.

Does anyone regularly use a bread machine, especially the two mentioned above?

I use an Oster Inspire ExpressBake 2-lb. Breadmaker, cost me $59.99 at target.

It works well and is alot cheaper then most of the so called "required" models. I just make all the gluten-free bread in "basic" mode on it, and seems work with them all so far.

I own and love the ZO! The only thing is to make sure its heavy duty (motor) as some things are pretty heavy. But I think most of the ones now will do the job.

The Zo has two paddles so it mixes well.It is alot of doe when you can spend way less $ but I still love it and I think it will withstand years of use....

Some like the Breadmaker 2.

best of luck

Love the Zoji. Don't have anything to compare it to really, but I can't imagine life without it. Give me my Zoji and a bag of Manna from Anna mix and I am a happy girl. :D (or should I say 3 hours later I'm a happy girl)

Love my Zojirushi, and would save it if my house were on fire. If you haven't searched for it, do a search for Zojirushi on this forum. Somewhere is a longer post that details what I really like about this machine. (I don't have experience with any other for comparison purposes)

I am also looking for a bread machine and was considering the Cuisineart machine. The Zojirushi sounds great but kinda pricey. Does anyone know what characteristics to look for in a machine that will make good gluten-free bread? How long can we expect them to last? :blink:

Hope you hear from you soon!

On the recommendation of others on this site, I ordered the Zojirushi (from Amazon) and it should be here in a few days. I can't wait to try it out. Several people recommend Breads by Anna mixes - where can I get those?

I have an Oster express and an awesome recipe for it. I make bread every other day and it is great. Everyone in my family eats it and enjoys it even though my husband is the only one who needs the gluten-free bread. If anyone is interested I will post the recipe but it has basically been adapted for use in this particular bread machine (2 lb loaf) and will not work in the oven and would need tweaking to work in a different bread machine. I bought my bread machine used, from Amazon and paid about $35 + shipping.

My husband bought a Kenmore breadmaker from Sear's. It works great with the Gluten Free Pantry-Favorite Sandwich Bread and Breads By ANna. Turns out great everytime. LIght and fluffy. WE only paid $75.00 for it. Actually it only takes 2 hours to make it.

Someone asked about Breads by Anna. CAn be ordered online from Glutenevolution.com.

I like both of these breads.

For those of your searching for bread maker:

In my search for a bread machine, finally decided on the Zojirushi. Comparing the reviews for the Cuisinart and the Zoji, I saw there were more postive comments for the gluten-free baking using the Zoji. I've already tried 3 gluten-free recipes they recommend, and I have to say that I'm really impressed with the results. The texture and taste are excellent, better than all the packaged ones I tried from the store. Also having the luxury of eating freshed baked gluten-free bread, takes it to a new level! The gluten-free walnut soy bread was so tasty, warm, moist---it's my new comfort food ! I'm looking forward in trying my own recipes, and using the custom program mode.

It was a tough decision because it was pricy $$. But I thought to myself, if this is something I need to use in my daily life, because I have special dietary needs, it will be worth it.

Good to know!!

I have finally found a bread recipe that my dd likes that is for the oven. Someday, maybe I'll also make the plunge and get a bread machine. It sure would save time and mess, that's for sure.

I also have the Zoji and love it!! I make the The Gluten-free Pantry Favorite Sandwich bread all the time and it turns out great!! I have also made the Manna from Anna bread in it and it did turn out great, I just can't tolerate the bean flours in it.

I guess, I have to ask... my $59.99 normal breadmaker works very well, handles every gluten-free mix/recipe we have tried fine with out any trouble at all... why do people spend $100's of dollars looking for "specail gluten-free" bread makers with names that no one can pronouce?

I didn't spend $100's looking but I spent $189 once I found the one I wanted. Sorry, feeling really cheeky today.

Perhaps if i'd read how happy you are with your bread machine, I would have bought one of those. When I was researching on lots of different sites, the Zojirushi consistently had great reviews from very satisfied customers. It was worth the extra $ to know that the odds were very good that I'd be very happy with my new breadmaker. After just having been diagnosed with a disease that altered my diet for life, I needed something in life to be easy. I am extremely happy with it. If this one lasts as long as I think it will, I will be a repeat Zoji customer. Worth every penny to me.....but then that's why they make different flavors of ice cream.

I really am glad that you sound equally satisfied with your bread machine.

VydorScope, Believe it or not, there are actually people out there who speak languages other than English, and would not turn away from looking in to a product with a "foreign" name. You are lucky that you have had success with your bread machine of your choice, while not having to spend as much $.

I agree with much of Jaten's reasoning for the purchase. While there is less confidence out there about how long other brands will last, I think many are thinking that it isn't worth the risk to try a brand that may only last a year for example, and then have to go to the trouble of buying another one, spending more money in the long run.

I have to admit...I have hjad mine since Christmas and I have been unable to figure it out...

It is a Cuisinart and I looked at the directions on the bread mix and it baffles me how it "transfers" over to the machine...

On mine, you open a "hatch" on top.

Down below, there is a "pan" of sorts and an area below it. The "pan" looks to have a "mixer/spatula" thing in the middle of it attached to a long screw...what is that thing?

Am I supposed to mix the dry ingredients together then the wet ingredients and then put the "batter" in the machine?

Do I dump it all in at once?

Do I put the dry and then the wet? (That seems quite messy)

Help! I want to use the damn thing, but I have never baked bread in my life...

I have that machine! Be careful because it burns gluten-free bread <_< pull it a few minutes before the end of the cycle

If you're using a mix, just follow the instructions on the bag for machines, that's all you need to do.

And put the paddle on the screw thing beforehand, of course :)

There are some gluten-free bread recipes in the book that came with it, but I haven't tried them

Zojirushi appliances are legendary. I bought one of their rice cookers....I do basmati rice and also steel cut oatmeal for my family in it. It's wonderful....worth every penny of its somewhat overinflated price. I'd always heard about their bread makers...years ago they were supposedly the best. I don't know about that since I don't have one....mine is an Oster I've had for a number of years. It's OK, not great. I haven't tried gluten free bread in it yet since I'm not eating any breads at all right now. Maybe later...

:rolleyes:

      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...

      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.

      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/
