Help! Bread Machines...(again)

No one wanted to tackle the bread machine question I asked a few days ago? Fill me in if that was a dumb question. I'm so new to this that I guess I even need to figure out how to ask the right questions.

So once again. Is a bread machine recommended? What brand of machine does anyone have and do you like it or not?

Thanks. Info would be so much appreciated!

Hi Carol--I don't recall your question, but I'm sorry you didn't get any responses. I don't eat grains now (intolerant), but when I used to make gluten-free bread, I used mixes from The Gluten Free Pantry. I would mix them up in my Kitchenaid, and bake them in the regular oven. They were easy and very good. I don't have any experience with the bread machines. :)

Hi and welcome! Sometimes people just don't see posts, always feel free to post again! I know a lot of people on here really like Zoj-I think they are expensive though. I just have a West Bend machine and have had no problems using it for gluten free bread recipes. You can buy the mixes too, Anna's is quite popular, or the Gluten Free Pantry also has bread mixes. Bette Hagman has a whole cookbook dedicated to breads also, and if you want to try different recipes you can usually get cookbooks from your local public library (they should be able to get intralibrary loan for you if they don't have the books you are interested in). You also will have the advantage of not having a bread machine before needing it to be a totally gluten free bread machine, as sometimes they can be hard to truly get gluten-free once you've messed with regular flour in one. I'd recommend one, I think they are quite handy and have little kids, so I know what you mean about the time issue-I think sometimes with preschoolers you hardly have time to take a shower or open the mail let alone anything else. :P

I just got a Zojirushi (just got as in 2 days ago) and have made one loaf of bread. It was good! The zoji is expensive, I paid $217 (incl shipping) from amazon .com but it's worth it. I made a mix that I bought at the store and it turned out very well. Even my husband liked it.

I don't have a bread machine, as I've always made my own bread. I recommend going online and reading user product reviews to find out what machines are rated highly in general. Any machine that makes reliably good bread can make reliable gluten-free bread.

We have a cuisanart bread machine. IT does have a gluten free setting on it, but I don't think it's necessary.

My wife has also made some gluten-free breads w/o the machine, and they turn out fine. I think the machine is faster, but not necessary.

I have a cheap sunbeam. It doesn't have a gluten free setting on it, so I use the normal setting. I use Pamela's bread mix and my bread always comes out right. I like using the bread machine because it's so easy. You just dump the ingredients in and turn it on. I don't have to keep checking the oven and I can leave the house to do errands, come back in a few hours and have fresh bread.

Don't buy the cuisinart. It burns gluten-free breads even on the light setting and you have to help the machine mix the batter, so it defeats the purpose.

I'm selling mine on craigs list as soon as I get a replacement paddle, a loaf of Pamela's bread ate it and DH threw it away :ph34r:

I've never had a problem with mine, but we'll kepe an eye on it. I was not aware it did that, as we can get exactly the same loaf from the oven as the breadmaker. I will agree however that it does not mox so good as the paddle is quite small. (all of the above IMHO)

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
