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)?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      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.
