Hi Everyone,

My mom is going to buy me a bread machine for my birthday (on Sunday) and wants to know which one to get me. Any advice or opinions on bread machines would be much appreciated!

We are currently trying to decide between the Zojinushi, Breadman (TR2700) and the Cuisinart (BNKR-200PC).

Thanks in advance for sharing your opinions and experiences!

Emily

Can someone help please. I just got a Breadman Machine to make my own bread. I tried my first loaf this morning. Bob's Red Mill "Walrus Bread". The recipe on the back of the Rice Flour bag said to ADD the wet ingredients after (mixing all the dry ingredients together (including the yeast))/ After adding in the wet I stirred it up a little then spooned it into my new bread machine. I had it set on "White Bread" as instructed by the Walrus Bread recipe and for 1.5 loaf size and light crust. I didn't use the gluten free setting because it wasn't in the recipe. I turned it on and it shook and hummed. The rise setting came on after a while. I just kept checking on it. And when it signaled it was done. I removed it and flipped it onto a rack. I waited approx. 10 minutes and cut it. The end was delightful and I loved it. After further inspection I noticed that under the top crust it was gooey and not baked. There was a pocket that didn't cook. So now My bread looks like a bowl after scooping out the uncooked goop. The recipe said to set it to "White Bread" and "lite". But there was no "lite" setting on my machine. So I set the crust setting to "light". I noticed at the time that when I changed it from medium crust to light that the preparation time got shorter by about 10 minutes. If I would have left the crust setting on medium would that of solved my problem? Or should I always check and if the bread does this again, set my machine on bake only and turn it on for additional time. I need help :( Thanks any one that can help me:)

My Christmas present to myself was the Zojirushi. I am finally using it for the first time tonight, (Bob's red mill hearty wheat mix, I was too lazy to do scratch)

I did lots of research and heard great things about it. I do remember reading about another that was not as expensive and still got good reviews though...can't remember what it was.

DanaPete, I would try changing the crust setting or anything that would make the cooking time longer. Do you have your manual?

Hi, my DH bought me a Hamilton Beach bread maker for christmas. I love it. It has a gluten-free setting and my bread turns out wonderful. The only thing I do is follow the directions for the machine and add what the package states. I put liquids in at the beginning and make sure they are room temp or short cycle through the microwave. Then add the dry ingredients...then the yeast. Nothing to it...pretty much set it and forget it until the bread is done... Just my opinion. Good luck with which ever you choose.

I have an Oster bread machine and I love it. This is my second bread machine but my first since going gluten-free. I cant believe I waited this long to get a bread machine.

Anyway, it has a bunch of settings and even a gluten-free setting which I use. I follow the instructions that came with the bread machine which is liquid first, dry and make a little dent for the yeast. My recipe does not say to do this.

Anyway all the bread I have made so far has been perfect.

Being a longtime gluten-free baker for my family I second the Zorjirushi--- it is a workhorse with a heavy duty motor...

Breadmakers : remember gluten-free dough only needs one rising so be sure to set your bread machine . Also if your bread collapses try using less liquid maybe by 2TBSP less. ANd baking time also needs to be adjusted. I bake Anna's bread mix in the Zo for2hrs 8min total time minus 2TBSP of liquid. Perfect every time.

Also remember toscrape down the sides of the machine when it is mixingto get all the loose ingrdients blended & smooth out the top...

      Prana Organics no longer GFCO-certified

      By TheDHhurts · Posted

      I've been buying my seeds and nuts from Prana Organics for a number of years because the products have been GFCO-certified. I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
