If you want your bread maker to work with the least amount of your intervention, choose the model with the largest number of programs. In any case, be sure to make sure that your chosen bread maker has a separate program for kneading at least one type of dough and a separate program for baking.
An expensive bread maker is not always a quality indicator. Often the price is too high, and the quality of the device is poor. Little-known manufacturers, on the other hand, sometimes lower prices for their products. Meanwhile, the oven has been working properly for several years. How not to buy a pig in a poke, but to choose the right one?
Why is one bread maker more expensive than another?
4 factors affect the cost.
1. Size and types of oven
Small bread makers with a maximum baking weight of 900 grams, convenient to place on the table top. They weigh up to 6 kg, but are more expensive than standard models due to their size.
There are three types:
- horizontal,
- vertical,
- rounded shape.
2. Number of programs
In modern bread makers from 3 to 19 programs. Each model contains 3-4 standard programs:
- "Basic mode" - bakes white bread in 3.5-4 hours. It is prepared according to a variety of recipes based on wheat flour. The program is also used for baking rye bread;
- "French bread" - baked goods with a delicate crumb and crispy crust;
- "Fast" - bread is baked in 2 hours, instead of 4, though it turns out not very lush;
- "Sweet bread" - for muffins and cakes.
The availability of other cooking modes depends on the cost of the appliance - the more there are, the more expensive the oven is. Ovens with programs for baking dietary and rye bread, as well as making jam and baguettes are a marketing ploy of the manufacturer, for which you will have to overpay.
3. Additional functions
The cost increase is influenced by additional functions that would make bread baking not so easy:
- "Delayed start" programs the baking process at a time convenient for you. Therefore, hot bread will ripen for breakfast and dinner - to the delight of all the household;
- "Temperature support" - keeps finished baked goods warm for a maximum of 1 to 3 hours;
- "Saving the program in case of power failure" - from 5 to 60 minutes. With a low voltage in the network, the protective device stops the operation of the oven. After the restoration of electricity, baking continues from the moment at which the process was interrupted;
- dispenser - automatically adds dried fruits, nuts, raisins, etc. during baking. It is convenient: you are not distracted so as not to miss the time to download. The additives are kept intact and not crushed when the dough is kneaded.
4. Body material
Most of the models are manufactured:
- made of plastic - a lightweight and inexpensive material, so stoves are cheaper;
- made of metal - strong and durable material. Therefore, stoves made from it are more expensive. Benefits: stylish design. disadvantages: Fingerprints are visible on the surface.
Will an expensive bread maker bake more delicious bread?
All models of bread makers have the same design. The taste of bread is influenced not by the presence of additional functionality, but by the observance of the necessary conditions during the preparation process:
- fresh yeast and food,
- compliance with the proportions indicated in the recipe.
During kneading, yeast gases come out of the dough. If during this period the lid of the bread maker is open, then the bread will turn out to be tasteless. The thermal regime is violated, the bread will settle and bake poorly.
Why is the bread unpalatable?
Common reasons:
- liquids. Bread mixed with water has a harder texture than milk. The shelf life is reduced;
- sugar. White, imparts less flavor than brown. It accompanies yeast fermentation and browns the crust better;
- yeast. Observe accuracy: if there are few of them, the dough will not rise. A lot - will go down during the baking process. Expired yeast - does not work.
