Want To Buy A Bread Machine

I love my Zoji. I'd never tried to make bread before my daughter's diagnosis so I don't know how it compares but I do know that the machine makes it so easy - you program it one time and, from then on, I just dump in the ingredients and push one button and you have great bread every time. We've only ever used a mix - usually Pamela's - it's her favorite. We've experimented by adding various ingredients (the machine beeps when it's time to add extras) and her current favorite is cinnamon and raisins. The reason we got the machine in the first place is because all the bread that we had bought premade was terrible (granted, we probably only tried two kinds, but still...they were both terrible). With so many food restrictions for her, it's nice that she can have a delicious warm loaf of bread whenever she wants it. The only thing I've noticed is that the bread goes bad fairly quickly so the best thing to do is, after it cools, slice and freeze it. I can't say enough about it - the Zoji and my Kitchenaid stand mixer are my two favorite kitchen items!

Thanks! Yes, with our newly diagnosed 5-year old, I desperately need a bread machine that can bake a decent loaf. I tried to do it with our current bread machine, and it came out awful. I'm ready to get the Zoji. I don't know what I'd do without Cealic.com and the forums!!!

momandgirls-

Hello I just went thru the cost effieniecy of the Kinnikinnick breads myself. As in the premade and the mixes. I did the math for the two of them. If we ordered from the website, neither one made a difference. The cost for shipping would have made the difference up. Unless you bought at least 3-4 loaves of the premade loaf.

I. however, had the lady in my health food store, who carries the premade loaf, order the mixes for me.

Now she charges 6.19 for one frozen premade loaf. And when the mix came in, she charged me 6.79. and the mix makes 2 loaves.

The Kinnikinnick mix it not. however, for bread machines. The specific instructions on the side say to mix it with an electric beater and bake it in the oven. I did that and it came out fantastic. My first time the loaf was a bit lopsided, but it still tasted good.

I know this doesnt help anyone in the search of bread machines. But I hope it helps anyone for the Kinnikinnick bread mix! :)

I've actually had very good luck with a model made by Sunbeam, it's sold at Wal-mart stores for about $40, and you can buy it through their online store if you want. I haven't tried any of the settings other than white bread(it has 12, 3 crust settings, and the option of making a 1 1/2 pound loaf or a 2 pound loaf), but it's always managed to turn out good gluten-free and regular loaves for me. And the price is right too. It never seems to get breads over or underdone for me, and I experiment with recipes and everything so that's always a plus. I've never tried the Zoji so I wouldn't know, but I don't plan on buying one because they're out of my price range.

I've decided to go with the Zoji and have been comparing prices this week. I've created a separate post just for Canadians in the International Room on this forum with some price comparisons for companies that ship to Canada or ship within Canada.

For our American neighbours- there are some good prices out there for the ZOJIRUSHI BBCC-X20 Home Bakery Supreme Breadmaker.

amazon .com has a good price.

Also, I found a good price at newegg.com:

Price $164.99 US + $14.79 Three Day Shipping (Not available in HI, AK and PR). NewEgg doesn't ship to Canada so I can't take advantage of their price myself.

I don't have any connection with these companies or any info about their reliability, but wanted to share the info I've found during my search.

Some other people may know of other places that offer good prices plus good shipping rates.

I've been making the bread mixes without a bread machine. I have just been using regular mixer settings. My mixer takes dough hooks as an accessory. Would there be any advantage to using dough hooks with the mixes (Pamela's, Gluten-free pantry)?

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
