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...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
