Esta excelente el pan blanco sabe muy rico,lo usamos para sándwich en el otro le añadimos chocolate y tiene un sabor increíble, siguiendo las recetas quedan perfectos. La mejor compra del año.

... Es una máquina increíble, ya probé el pan blanco y el pan francés estilo chapata y quedé muy contento con el resultado; el único inconveniente es que en los primeros pasos uno debe estar atento si fue suficiente agua para que se forme la masa, en caso de que le falta máximo son dos cucharadas adicionales de agua. Olvídate de pesar con báscula nada de eso funciona, en mi primer intento usé báscula y fue un fracaso al final me quedé pensando que por eso incluyen un vaso medidor y una cuchara de plástico con dos medidas. Úsalas y no necesitas pesar absolutamente nada, sigue la receta al pie de la letra con el vaso y la cuchara y ya te va a quedar un pan fantástico.

Supero mis expectativas. En realidad queda muy bien el pan. La función que la dejes programada para que el pan esté listo cuando lo requieras es muy buena (todo el proceso de amasado, reposo, leudar, hornear tarda más o menos 3 a 3 hrs y media).He hecho 3 de las recetas que vienen en el manual sin problemas y 2 que yo he creado basadome en otros usuarios que han publicado sus recetas por internet.

Muito legal oferecer produto final muito gostoso

Muy practica y sensacional

Es fabulosa y super útil para hacer pan ya sea blanco, dulce o con semillas. Sólo sigues la receta, dejas que trabaje y tienes un buen pan casero.

Muy buena máquina, llevo ya con ella más de un año y super contenta, es fácil seguir las instrucciones y puedes ir modificando recetas a tu gusto.

This is my second Hamilton- Beach breadmaker. I replaced my first one (which still works well) because this newer one has some newer features and is stainless steel). The newer features include more loaf size choices, a few more types of items to make, and - most importantly - automatic seed/fruit inclusion - so you don't have to wait around for 25-30 minutes before adding seeds, etc. The only "odd" thing with this model is the "start" button: Apparently you have to hold it down for a few seconds, let up, and then push it again to start. Not a big deal but this is not mentioned in the instructions. The cycles are a bit longer - about 30 minutes for the same recipe in my older model - but, again, that is not a dealbreaker. And finally my older machine came withan extra paddle - but there is just one with the new machine. New bread bakers will love this machine and "we older" bread bakers will use it occasionally, and for partial aspects of breadmaking. But I would not be without one, as you can make a loaf of bread quickly - and/or overnight with the delay option, which is really convenient. It's also very nice to wake up to a warm loaf of newly baked bread.Bread machines (all of them) work the same way, and produce a good loaf - not exactly the same texture as "regular" loaves - but certainly loaves that are good tasting, simple and easy. The price of the H-B machine is probably the best of all comparable machines and is the only bread machine brand that I would buy.UPDATE: There are some on here who have complained that the "start" button does not work. Well yes and no. The directions are not clear on this point, but in order for the start button to work immediately, you must first program in crust, loaf size, and the cycle number - each time - before hitting the start button. Also, you must unplug the machine every time after you are done with it (I have mine plugged into a "strip" with an on/off switch). These are not dealbreakers - just quirks.

First off, I am an experienced bread maker but my one attempt to bake gluten-free bread was an abject failure. My wife cannot eat bread with gluten so after that failed attempt, I resorted to buying store-bought loaves, which were not very satisfying for her, but at least are recognizably bread lol.Fast forward 10 years or so, and those store-bought loaves were getting pretty tiresome, so I did some research and bought this bread maker along with a cookbook (The Gluten-Free Bread Machine Cookbook: 175 Recipes for Splendid Breads and Delicious Dishes to Make with Them by Jane Bonacci). I wasn't sure how this would work out, and I figured there would be a learning curve but I would get there eventually.I was wrong. The success was immediate.I have now had this bread make for about 3 weeks and I have made bread 8 times; all attempts have been successful, and all but 1 have been delicious (more on that in a minute). The machine is extremely simple to operate: you mix the wet ingredients and put them in the pan, then the dry ones and layer them on top; make a little indentation for the yeast. Close the lid and hit the gluten free setting (#3) and stand back.It takes a few minutes for the paddle to start twirling, which confused me a little at first, but no worries. Once it starts, you need to spend a minute or so with a soft spatula (silicon) making sure that the dry ingredients in the corners of the pan get mixed in with the rest of the batter. After that, you can just go away for a couple hours and come back to fresh bread. It's really quite remarkable. The loaves are moist, well risen, and very tasty. It's as close to foolproof baking as I have found for this sometimes-finicky procedure. So far I have made millet bread (once), brown bread (twice), herb sandwich bread (four times) and a cardamom-almond quick bread (twice). My wife is thrilled and so am I, to the point where I hardly eat my regular old store-bought gluten breads anymore.The cookbook offers a couple useful tips that I think are crucial. The most important is to buy a scale to weight your ingredients. Gluten-free cooking is a delicate balancing act, and precise quantities are needed. Filling a cup measure with this ingredient or that can result in widely differing amounts depending on how packed the flours are; humidity (ie., moisture content) will affect this too. So I went to Walmart and bought a sleek kitchen scale for 20 bucks, and I would advise anyone trying this out to do the same.Another thing: the bread machine directions advise you to run the machine at "bake" cycle for 10 minutes and let it cool before using. This allows you to burn off the "factory chemical" smell and it's crucial I think. Even so, the first loaf I made (millet bread) had a pretty strong chemically taste to it. Fortunately, I had made a second loaf right afterward (the brown bread) and this was much better, so we enjoyed that one. I'm not sure how to get around this--maybe another 10-minute burnoff? Not sure. It's a minor thing, but worth remembering.As for the ingredients, they are all available on Amazon, or other markets like Whole Foods or even just ordinary grocery stores. You might not get every single ingredient for every single kind of bread at the local market, but hey, that's what the internet is for.One last thought: Someone asked in one of the questions above whether this machine is "worth it," meaning, I presume, whether it is worth the money. Well, GF bread costs about $7 per loaf where I live (Massachusetts). So I will need to make 14 loaves before the cost of this machine equals what I would have paid for store loaves. Of course, I will be buying the ingredients too, and they are expensive--so let's triple the goal to 42 loaves before the machine pays for itself. Right now I am up to 8 loaves, and making #9 today. That's in three weeks. So I'm guessing that this little experiment will have paid back its cost in about 4 months. When you realize that the loaves it makes are about 2 lbs each, instead of the 1 lb loaves I get at the store, then I will reach the "break-even" point even sooner--about 2 months. (And when you add in the cost of my own gluten-y bread that I have stopped buying because I like the GF stuff so much... well, it's even sooner than that.)Overall, I am thrilled with this purchase and recommend it to anyone looking to make gluten-free bread. I haven't used it for anything else and I am not likely to, so I can't recommend it for that.TL;DR It's a great machine for GF bread, worth buying.

I love this bread machine. I spent hours online looking at the different choices and reading the reviews -- negative and positive. I put it in my cart so many times, then left it there and came back a few times before finally hitting the "buy" button. The negative reviews really had me apprehensive. But since I've never baked a loaf of bread before, I thought I'd start with this one, and if it was a dud, I'd try a more expensive one.This was really "plug and play". It's ready to go right out of the box. I took the advice found in the positive reviews which was (1) read the manual from start to finish before trying out the machine and (2) make sure your measurements are exact and you follow the instructions and do everything in the right order. Weigh out the ingredients first and have them sitting on the counter ready to put in the machine before you turn on the machine.I read the manual twice (not all at once). I decided to try an easy white bread first. I went out and bought "bread machine" flour and since I couldn't find "bread machine yeast" I just got some fast-rising yeast. The recipes say "vegetable oil or butter" and since I never use vegetable oil (or any seed oil -- only olive oil) I used unsalted butter instead.It was so simple it almost felt like cheating.As to all the things I was fearing from the negative reviews: The machine is really quiet, compared to a blender or vitamix or food processor. It would not wake someone up in the next room let alone disturb an apartment neighbor.The machine did not walk off my counter or fall on the floor. It has four rubber feet that keep it in place -- it moved about 2-3 inches a few times and I just pushed it back. (Intially I put it on a ribbed cotton placemat but I removed it after a while since it didn't seem necessary and it actually moved less without it.I could tell the bread was rising nicely looking in the top window. When it started the baking stage (last stage) I could smell it in another room and went to see if anything was burning, but no, it was just some some air vents in the machine that let out some steam.When the bread was done I let it stay in the machine for about 15 minutes. I took out the bake pan, turned it upside down over a wire rack, and the bread fell right out. Nothing stuck to the baking bucket.This unit doesn't come with a paddle removal tool, and the paddle did stay in the bread, so I took the screw part of a corkscrew and gently probed the bottom of the bread and it came out pretty quick with just a little hole in the bottom.I had set it on the medium crust level and the bread was browned perfectly.It rose really nicely.The bread was crusty on the outside and the white bread inside was not stiff or hardened.I sliced a piece off, tasted it and thought it had a really good, rich flavor. I put some peanut butter and jelly on it and put the rest in a plastic bag and left it on the counter overnight. This morning, I sliced a piece off, and it was still tender inside. (Meaning if you put you pushed your finger into it, it would create a small dent and then bounce back, or at least not tear). I cut it in half and toasted the halves. The toast came out great, evenly browned and I a scrambled egg on it.At dinner, a friend came over and tasted it and even though he's not a white bread kind of person, he thought it tasted really good.One of the reasons I went with this model was because it's dishwasher safe. But the pan was still so clean after baking the bread, all I did was take a dampen a clean dish towel and wipe the inside. Nothing stuck to the inside housing of the machine so I just ran the damp cloth over it and let the top up so it would dry fully.I know this is a long review, but I had so much angst from the 180 degree difference between the positive and negative reviews, I thought it might be helpful to another beginner like me who is struggling to make sense of the reviews. It's not that I disbelieve the negative reviewers -- I've certainly gotten appliances I thought had been previously returned or were duds for other reasons. But I am so happy with this machine so far, I really wanted to share it.I'm going to do rye bread next.PS If in the next 6 months, the machine falls apart or fails to perform properly or the non-stick surface comes off into the bread, I'll come back and update.

Compré esta máquina para pan para mi hija que tiene cero experiencia en panadería. El resultado ha sido excelente desde la primera hogaza.Ha hecho el pan básico y pastel.La clave consiste en seguir al pie de la letra las instrucciones de uso. Para ello sólo se necesitan cucharas medidoras. Es muy fácil de usar.Todas las hogazas salen con un agujerito abajo porque es donde está la palita que mezcla la harina y allí se queda durante todo el proceso. Se retira una vez se desmolda.La harina que utiliza es la común, de todo uso (Selecta, en México) y levadura de sobrecito (Tradi Pan) y para pasteles harina de caja de Duncan Hines.Las recetas que se incluyen en el recetario tienen muy buen sabor.He dejado pasar varios meses para ver cuánto consumía de electricidad, pues la principal preocupación al utilizar este tipo de aparatos.Es sorprendente que, a pesar de que utiliza un promedio de 3 horas en cada proceso de elaboración, mínimo una vez por semana, la factura de la electricidad NO ha subido nada notable. Es muy ahorradora esta panificadora.Conclusión: fácil de usar, excelentes resultados y bajísimo consumo de electricidad

¡Me encantó!Puedo hacer el pan en casa, trae su recetario así es que no hay que complicarse buscando recetas.No importa si no eres experto en cocina, sigues instrucciones, solo monitoreas al inicio que la mezcla del pan haya quedado bien y te olvidas, la máquina hace todo!Si aún tienes dudas, busca en YouTube tutoriales para su uso.Llegó antes de la fecha, en buen estado. La caja un poco rota pero no se afectó la panificadora en lo más mínimo.Recomiendo ampliamente este producto si deseas productos hechos por ti y no tienes tanto tiempo para estar horneando.
