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 have a Black and Decker that I bought because it was on sale. It works well and does the job. I am going to get a new one soon becasue i am giving it to my mom, and I am checking out the new Cuisinart.

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:

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
