What could be better than freshly baked bread? Only bread made with your own hands in your kitchen. The process is very laborious and takes a certain amount of time, but if you get, say, a bread maker, then baking fragrant buns or a loaf is not difficult. The main thing is to choose the right model of kitchen appliances, which will become an indispensable assistant and turn the cooking process into a pleasure.
Over the past few years, this gadget has grown significantly in price (apparently, the tendency is that people stopped buying bread in stores, preferring to bake it on their own). Therefore, if just recently a bread maker could be purchased for 3000 rubles, now you will have to pay at least 5000 rubles for a good model. Moreover, cheap models are often not inferior in quality to well-promoted brands, therefore, when choosing, it is important to pay attention to ease of use, durability, the presence of automatic modes and the ability to adjust baking parameters.
Even if you are not a professional cook, and your task is not to bake a dozen or two fluffy buns or fragrant loaves every day, then still take a look at those bread maker models that have additional functions and allow you to change automatic modes (choose those baking parameters that you need it).
Model functionality
When choosing a bread machine, be sure to pay attention to the programs and functions, including the main baking modes, which are incorporated in a particular model. Typically, manufacturers offer 5 to 19 programs, including making jam, muffins, yoghurts, diet bread, and so on. In addition, the bread maker should have a timer, a nut and raisin dispenser, and additional molds and scoops.
Mode control
The next aspect that you should pay attention to when buying a bread maker is the presence of control buttons (touch, touch in glass or pseudo-touch), a display with or without backlight (in simpler models). You should also study the design of the model you like, the dimensions, weight of the equipment, as well as the noise level during operation.
The ability to adjust the weight of baked goods
This is a very important point that you also need to study in order to choose exactly the gadget that will be easy and comfortable to work with. So, for example, in bread makers, the weight of products usually varies from 500 g to 1250 g. Therefore, remember how many loaves of bread your family consumes, and, based on these needs, choose one or another model of a bread machine.
