In Search Of Bread Machine

Does anyone have recommendations for a bread machine that works well for gluten free breads?

I have an old Sunbean machine that I used to make some gluten-free bread- and as I suspected it would, it made me very sick because I have used it for regular bread in the past. I used Bob's Red Mill mix and it made a decent bread - at least compared to the stuff I have tasted that is available in local supermarkets. I have read that gluten-free breads do best with two paddles or one kneading cycle. (My old machine does none of the above and it turned out OK.)

I just read a review of a Cuisiinart that has a gluten free setting- has anyone tried this model?

We decided that if we were going to get a bread machine.....and that this diet is for life, we were going to get a really good model. I love the one I have; it's a Zojirushi. You put the wet ingrediants in the bottom, dry ones on top of that, and lastly the yeast on top. It has many settings, or you can store your own settings. Mostly I use the basic setting. The machine does the rise cycle, mixing and baking and I don't have to do anything once the ingredients are put in. Love it! I will not eat any store bought gluten-free bread. The recipes I've tried so far have been pretty good (all of them taste much better toasted). Hope this helps

I have been looking at the model you suggested and I like that it has two paddles and programmable cycles. Can this machine be used to make 1 or 1.5 lb loaves? I am just cooking for myself and can't come close to finishing off a 2lb loaf.

I am in love with my new Breadman Pro (model TR875). It has a gluten free cycle and makes 1.5 and 2lb breads. The gluten free cycle only mades the 1.5 size but when I make Pamela's bread (love it!) I use the regular cycle (suggested on the package) and makes a wonderful 2lb loaf. I ordered from Lame Advertisement and got free shipping. It does have only one paddle but works very well. I also use the dough cycle to make my pizza dough.

oops! realized I couldn't say where I ordered after posting. You will find good deals for it by just doing a search for breadman pro. Good luck on whatever you decide.

I have the Cuisinart....this is my first bread machine and I love it. I have only had it about a month which is as long as I have been gluten free. It does only have 1 paddle, there are 3 bread sizes (1, 1.5, 2lb). I think the gluten free cycle works great...I just need to find a good gluten free bread mix :P

When you make breads at home, I'm sure they taste better than the store bought gluten free breads, which i personally hate... but how good are they? Are they actually comparable to real bread in any way? I really hate the store bought breads that I've tried and I don't know if its because they don't taste fresh or what the problem is. I need to try fresh gluten free bread I guess!

Wish there were a response to this question. I think a couple people indicated the bread machine breads are better. Anyone? How much do those mixes cost? Aren't they about the same as buying gluten-free bread pre-made, if not more? So far I'm used to not eating any bread anymore so I might be best off that way - pre-soaked, cooked whole gluten-free grains only. But the bread machine idea sounds tempting ...

My son was just dx last friday, I have ripped apart my kitchen to make room for his food and special areas he knows are safe since we are just learning and I want him to have some independence. I took out my bread machine from ages ago thinking homemade had to be better than the gluten free-brick I just bought at the store saturday. Question #1. -even if I wash the container will I still have cc? If so I will look into a new machine.

question # 2 are there bread mixes available out there , and what types of non-gluten flour works best for making bread in these machines? thanks so much, so far the transition has been rough and I am afraid my son is not eating enough of the foods he can eat and he can't afford to lose anymore weight.

There are lots of different mixes available. I'm not sure about the CC with the old machine... not sure I would take the chance... does the dough touch anywhere except the pan? Is it possible that flour dropped anywhere in the machine except in the pan? Anyway I have had pretty good luck with my Zojirushi and mixes by Gluten-Free Pantry. You will find that the bread is fabulous when it is fresh (a little crumbly) keep farely well if you freeze it and makes better toast than bread. (I eat it as toast with eggs and have yet to try grilled cheese or a toasted sandwich but I think it will work well.) You can also find gluten free bread in the freezer section of some specialty stores that is pretty good too... again I have only toasted it, since I am not much of a sandwich lover anyway. That brand is kinnikinnick. Also Namaste makes my favorite waffel / pancake mix. Pamela's makes fantastic chocolate chunk cookies. I could go on and on with my finds so if you are looking for something in particular, let me know. Good luck, it has been less than a year for me, I am afraid I will be going through the same thing you are in the future when I have children. Beth

I ended up buying a Zojirushi and love it, I did not want to take a chance w/ cc. I used a french bread mix, alot went uneating-since it is only my son, but I used the rest for bread crumbs for meatballs and they came out great!! thanks

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
