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:

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
