Panasonic Bread Maker with 2 Dough Hooks SD-ZB2512 (38 Baking Programs with Special Programs for Bread, Cakes, Pasta Dough and Jams, Stainless Steel)

Update: It just stopped working! Lost power and that was that. There is no life in it whatsoever. I'm really disappointed. I kept the packaging and sent it back and got a refund, so I ordered another one. So far so good. Original Post: I did a lot of research before ordering this bread machine and decided upon this one because it was robust and delivered good bread; however, I was sceptical as I felt all bread machines couldn't deliver as good as a hand made loaf. I am thankful this machine delivered, not just a good loaf of bread but, an amazing loaf of bread every time! It's incredibly easy to use, robust, and quiet. You can hardly hear it and it doesn't wobble around when it is kneading at all. The outside stays cool. When it's cooking, the heat is all inside and hardly any heat escapes. It's easy to get the bread out; I just tip it upside down and give it a shake, and it just slides out, and theres just a small hole in the bottom. The bread is a gorgeous colour, evenly baked and golden, and the crust is crispy whilst the bread inside is light and soft, and not at all dense or doughy. Hubby and I were amazed when the first loaf of bread, a rapid one, dropped out absolutely perfect as I don't always have such immediate success! This delivers every time! It's quite large and we don't have a big kitchen so I can't store it in the worktop. It goes in the cupboard and I get it out when I am making bread, but who cares when the bread is as good as this? Not me. You can set the timer to bake ready for when you wake up and then put it away when not needed. I am glad my research has paid off and am extremely happy with this machine.

I've never had a bread machine before, so thought I'd treat myself during lockdown to cut down on shopping. I was slightly dubious about the quality of the bread which would be made, but even the first use allayed any fears. Chuck the ingredients in in the order stated in the recipe, select the correct program, press start..... done. A few hours later, a perfect fresh loaf. Use good quality ingredients, follow the recipes precisely, and this machine will turn out a perfect loaf every time. I've only had one disaster when I felt brave enough to freehand with the weights and added more fruit than asked for, and, well, I ended up with a brick (which the birds really, really appreciated). The whole machine is a dream to use. The controls couldn't be more simple to program it, with a good, clear display to show the progress. The timer is a boon allowing one to awake to a house smelling of freshly baked bread and a warm loaf just sitting there waiting. It only takes 1 minute to clean the very non-stick tin too. The build quality is extremely impressive, everything is very solid and feels like it'll last forever. If I have one minor gripe, it's the shutter for releasing the yeast which is over-engineered to a ridiculous degree and very noisy, making 4 or 5 very loud clicks which are enough to wake you up if you're in the next room, but hey-ho.... fresh warm bread awaits. Highly, highly recommended, my only regret is not having bought one years ago.

I can not express how much I love this bread maker. I had been pondering over 6 months or more on whether to buy this bread maker as I wanted to be sure that it could do the job of replacing all my family needs for supermarket breads. As a family of 4, we get through on average about 2 loaves of bread a week, and I was conscious that I was throwing out a lot of plastic bread bags and I'm trying to reduce the amount of plastic waste we throw out as a family. Since having this machine its been absolutely brilliant! Every loaf I've made has been delicious and its so easy to use and clean. We've made bread, pizza doughs and I cant wait to try the other settings and make more yummy food for my family. I wish I had got it sooner to be honest. If you are looking for something so replace your everyday bread from the supermarket, then I highly recommend this machine. Fantastic bread every time, easy to use and clean, cheaper then supermarket bread and no plastic waste!

If you want warm, fresh bread with minimal effort or skill, this is for you. You can produce consistent loaves - white, granary, wholemeal and many others time after time. It's so easy! This model has a separate yeast dispenser in the lid which saves you having to make walls and wells in the mixture to ensure the yeast doesn't activate too soon. It has 33 programmes for all sorts of bread and dough and even compote! There are quick loaf settings which produce an excellent loaf in under three hours, compared to the normal six hours plus.You can set it to run overnight and wake up to a fresh loaf in the morning. The only niggle, which stopped it getting 5 stars is the alarm which goes off to alert you when the programme is finished. You need to get the bread onto a cooling tray reasonably smartly. However the alarm is utterly hopeless; inaudiable unless you are stood next to the bread maker. We have to set the oven timer to make sure we know when the bread is ready. The reason that this is soooo irritating is that most of the reviews we read state this as about the only major negative. So what do Panasonic do when they bring out the 2512 series? Absolutely nothing! With all the clock radios and other electronics they make, I can't belive it's beyond them to have a louder alarm, so that's very disappointing... But at the end of the day, it turns out consistently scrumptious loaves.

I have owned only 3 bread machines in my life. This is the first Panasonic one I have owned. I am not saying it lightly (only made about 7 loaves so far) - but this is by far the best bread machine ever! I think the separate yeast dispenser has made a massive difference. But the research that has gone into the machine seems to have paid off. The only issue I have so far is the sourdough in the machine - no good. The starter (that you make in the machine in 24 hours)... also seems to be very weak. But of course, there are ways around that too.

Cuoce il pane perfettamente, e anche la lievitazione e' perfetta. Ho regalato questo articolo alla mia famiglia e mio padre l'ha subito usata senza problemi dato che le istruzioni sono ben spiegate e comprensibili anche per chi non e' molto portato ad avere pazienza con la tecnologia. Nel ricettario trovate tutte le ricette: dal pane casalingo italiano fatto con olio, sale, farina e acqua, al piu' classico pane in cassetta e brioche. Guarda a tutte le esigenze culturali e di salute e per questo l'ho davvero apprezzato. Ha molte opzioni e tra queste funziona come semplice impastatrice, quindi potrete scegliere la vostra ricetta, e cuocere l'impasto con le forme che desiderate nel vostro forno, prepara anche impasti per torte. Ancora non lo abbiamo testato ma stiamo valutando di preparare il panettone,dato che ha in dotazione un cestello dove mettere extra ingredienti( canditi,semi di cereali, cioccolato..) e li aggiunge rispettando i tempi di preparazione. Un dettaglio importante: quando preparate seguite attentamente le dosi degli ingredienti perche' sono questi a determinare la resa ottimale. Mio padre ha preparato il pane l'altro giorno e ha sbagliato le dosi del lievito, attenzione anche alle dosi del sale perche' potrebbe risultare troppo salato. Questo puo' portare un pochino di scoraggiamento all'inizio ma consiglio di riprovare utilizzando i pratici accessori di dosaggio inclusi nel kit e di seguie attentamente le dosi consigliate nel ricettario. Fa anche le marmellate e le composte di frutta ma ancora dobbiamo testarlo, penso lo faremo prossimi mesi che arriva l'estate usando frutta di stagione. Ho veramente apprezzato il timer che regola i tempi di avvio della cottura, quindi si puo' decidere di far partire la macchina durante le fasce di consumo elettrico meno alto, consuma meno di uno scaldabagno casalingo. Sono contenta di questo acquisto e lo consiglio per chi vuol spendere un pochino di piu' e avere una macchina professionale in casa.

Nachdem meine Brotbackmaschine nach etlichen Jahren ihren Geist aufgegeben hat, habe ich eine neue Maschine gesucht. Die riesige Auswahl an Brotbackautomaten ist unglaublich, aber dennoch habe ich relativ schnell die passende Maschine für mich gefunden. Für mich war wichtig, dass sie für Sauerteigbrote sowie die etwas schwerer zu knetenden Vollkornbrote geeignet ist. Daher fiel meine Wahl auf den Panasonic-Automaten. Ein Grund für meine Wahl war auch das Zubehör: - zwei Sauerteigbecher mit Milliliter-Angaben - zwei Knethaken (einer für normale Brote, einer für die schweren Vollkornteige) - ein Maßlöffel für EL und TL - und ein Maßlöffel für den Sauerteigstarter Auch das Gerät selber hat einige nützliche Vorrichtungen: - das Rosinenfach, das ich schon für Röstzwiebeln, Schinken und Nüsse verwendet habe - das Hefefach für Trockenhefe - eine Kurzanleitung über die Programme im oberen Deckel (in englisch, aber Aufkleber für diverse andere Sprachen liegen bei) Entgegen einiger Bewertungen, die die hohe Lautstärke des Trockenhefefaches beim Entleeren kritisieren, kann ich das für mein Gerät nicht behaupten. Selbst wenn man direkt daneben steht, ist es ein Klackern, dass dafür sorgt, dass auch die gesamte Hefe freigesetzt wird, aber als zu laut empfinde ich es nicht. Insgesamt arbeitet der Automat wirklich sehr leise. Ich habe schon mehrere Brote gebacken und mit einem einfachen Milchstuten aus der Bedienungsanleitung begonnen. Aber auch schwere Vollkornbrote, Mischbrote, Dinkelmisch- und vollkornbrote sind hervorragend gelungen. Dabei habe ich auch die Timer-Funktion genutzt und empfand es als sehr angenehm, dass die programmierte Zeit das Backen des Brotes mit berücksichtigt und dass das Gerät selbst berechnet, wann es anfangen muss, damit das Brot z. B. nach den im Timer eingestellten 8 Stunden auch fertig ist. Gerade habe ich ein Grießbrot gebacken und war begeistert, bisher ist das mein Lieblingsbrot, daher hier mal die Zutaten für das S (L)-Brot von 500 (750) g: 210 (320) ml Wasser 20 (30) g Sauerteigpulver (ich verwende Bio-Vollkorn-Sauerteigpulver aus der Dose) 330 (400) g Weizenmehl, Type 550 65 (100) g Hartweizengrieß, fein (ich habe den Grieß genommen, den ich auch für Grießbrei verwende) 6,5 (10) g Salz 1 (1,5) TL Trockenhefe Zusätzlich habe ich einen halben TL Brotgewürz, 1 TL enzymaktives Backmalz und 86 g Körner (Sonneblume, Kürbis und Pinie) hinzugegeben. Das Brot ist sehr locker geworden, hat eine knusprige Kruste und schmeckt zum Niederknien gut. Das Grundrezept kommt aus dem Buch "Brotbacklust, 222 Rezepte für Brotbackautomaten" von Mirjam Beile. Von ihr habe ich auch das Buch für Vollkornbrote gekauft, woraus ich ebenfalls schon mehrere Brote gebacken habe, die allesamt wunderbar gelungen sind. In der Bedienungsanleitung finden sich auch viele Rezepte, von denen ich ebenfalls schon einige mit Erfolg nachgebacken habe. Die Bedienungsanleitung ist sehr übersichtlich. Es finden sich Übersichten, welche Programme welche Funktionen haben oder nicht haben. Knetzeiten, Ruhezeiten und Backzeiten sind ebenfalls enthalten. Die Übersetzung ist für mich verständlich und fehlerfrei. Viele Bilder zeigen genau, wo was ist und wie etwas funktioniert. Irritiert war ich am Anfang, dass zuerst die trockenen Zutaten und zum Schluss die flüssigen Zutaten eingefüllt werden. Bei meiner alten Maschine war es genau umgekehrt, aber es funktioniert. Auch das Zubehör kann man nachkaufen. Normalerweise bleibt der Knethaken bei leichteren Broten in der Backform hängen, aber bei einem schweren Vollkornbrot blieb er im Brot hängen und beim Schneiden habe ich den Haken mit unserem scharfen Brotmesser geschrottet. Die Beschichtung war teilweise ab und feine Späne lösten sich. Aber ich konnte hier bei Amazon einen neuen Knethaken bestellen: Panasonic ADD96E1601 Knethaken für Brotbackautomat SD256WXE (normale Brote) Es gibt auch den Knethaken für Vollkornteige hier zu kaufen. Den Haken zum Herauslösen des im Brot verbliebenen Knethakens kann ich sehr empfehlen, da es einfacher ist, den Knethaken aus dem heißen Brot zu entfernen und man sich nicht die Finger verbrennt. Alles in allem bin ich froh, dass ich mich nicht durch die negativen Rezensionen habe irritieren lassen, sondern diesen Brotbackautomaten gekauft habe. Selbst mein Sohn - ein Brotmuffel - isst Brot, wenn ich frisch gebacken habe. Und was mir am besten gefällt: ich weiß genau, was für Zutaten drin sind und kann sie variieren, wie es gerade passt. Und letztlich ist es wunderbar, wenn der Duft von frisch gebackenem Brot durch das Haus zieht und man am liebsten sofort in das frische Brot hineinbeißen möchte. Ich kann dieses Gerät wärmstens empfehlen, weil ich damit vollauf zufrieden bin.

La compré de segunda mano y funcionaba perfectamente. Se me rompió por las tormentas que hubo. Tiene 33 programas y es una maravilla. Siempre la dejaba programada para tener pan de molde por la mañana. También hacía las pizzas, pero con el programa largo porque el programa para pizzas no me convence ya que las masas necesitan varias horas de fermentación y amasado. La volvería a comprar sin dudar
