Learn More About The Impressive Zojirushi 2lb Home Bakery Supreme Breadmaker From This Review
"The Zojirushi (which is 'elephant brand' in Japanese) definitely fits it's name. It feels as big as an elephant itself, with its 27 pounds of bread making mass. You should take measurements before you begin to set it up. The Zojirushi is bulky, with a width of 17 inches and depth of 12 inches. It's also 9 inches in height, so think twice before putting it below your cabinet, as you'll still need to be able to open the lid in order to work the bread machine.
With the Zojirushi 2lb Home Bakery Supreme Breadmaker, 2 pound loaves of bread can be baked with the pair of paddles. The shape is similar to traditional oven bread pans in its horizontal shape. The pan is approximately 5 inches in width and depth, and 9 inches long. It can also be used to bake a 1.5 pound bread loaf. You don't have to worry about dough rising, due to the domed shape of the lid.
As with most bread machines, you can use it as a cinnamon-raisin Bread Maker, or use it as a pizza dough bread machine. Bread's not all it's capable of making. You may be happy to discover that it can make jelly. You can mix and prepare homemade jam from fresh and canned fruits. They are also great for cake baking to boot. This machine is likely to last longer and perform better than any Bread Maker that you've worked with prior to this.
Yet with all that strength, it's relatively quiet throughout the kneading phase. Displays and settings for most bread appliances are on the side or top, but the Zo's are located on a slanted panel which makes it a lot easier locate and use. Regular users of the Zojirushi refer to it as the Zo, and love that it comes from a almost century-old company with a long history of producing bread machines. It is quite obvious that customer comments and happiness is important to them, as they continually endeavor to create the best bread maker they possibly can, improving every year.
For example, you can set many bread machines ahead of time, sometimes up to 13 hours, so that you will have fresh baked bread when you wake in the morning. However, when you consider it, will you actually get enough sleep if the Bread Machine thumps and clanks while kneading the bread, gratefully the Zojirushi does not.
With the Zo, however, you can trust in their ultraquiet operation, so you can sleep easy all nighttime without being woken up to noisy bread making. With most of the breadmakers you always have various choices for creating unique types of bread, crust color and texture, or even the dough only mixing cycles. With the Zo, you have the power to make up to 3 varied bread cycles. Those who are seasoned bakers will love the idea of adapting one of their favorite recipes for using with a Bread Maker.
If you have troubles with continually losing your power, for instance when you run your AC unit in the summer, you'll be pleased with the Zojirushi. Even though your lights may blink or dim, the Zo will always restart at exactly where it stopped when the lights returns. It'll recall its position for ten minutes of no power. If you buy another Bread Machine that's cheaper than this one, you may get so frustrated trying to bake these recipes and eventually just give in, because the machine lost where it is at due to a power outage.
The manual is written in informal English and gives a couple of easy recipes to get you started. You may see some typographical mistakes within the manual, but none of them will affect your ability to bake wonderful loaves of bread. Zojirushi takes care of its customers, and therefore have a a 800 customer service line that you can call for any concerns that come up. For illustration, some bread machines provide a wire handle that folds on the baking pan, the Zo doesn't feature this. When I called the help line, they quickly and politely shared with me that it is safer to use hot pads when removing the larger horizontal pan.
You might also find you have an uneven bread top. In no time at all, I was speaking with Customer Service, who informed me that this is normal for heavier breads. It is a normal concern and can be simply fixed by applying a plastic spatula to cautiously flatten the top. With the Zo, you are able to make gluten-free breads, sourdough breads, and even the quick rising loaves with that specific brand of yeast. Don't think about the smaller, lower-quality breadmakers that do not save you from power brown outs and inconvenience you with their noisy processing - get the Zo and savor great bread without the troubles."
