Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zojirushi BBCC-V20 Home Bakery Traditional BreadmakerCustomer Review: Lasted 5 years! Summary: 5 StarsAfter having terrible problems with three or four different brands of bread machines (the kneading paddles leaked oil and/or got stuck so they wouldn't even turn, or the bread wouldn't get done or wouldn't come out of the pan...), I tried a Hitachi bread machine and was extremely satisfied. Unfortunately, when I needed a replacement machine, I found that Hitachi was no longer selling bread machines--they recommended Zojirushi on their website. I had never heard of Zojirushi, but purchased a machine (model BBCC-V20)from Amazon.com (free shipping!) in 2003. This machine has been the best machine I've ever had (and I've been through MANY!) I can't vouch for all the fancy cycles (like jam, cake, etc.) because I only wanted to use the bread and the dough cycles, but the machine has hung on through thick and thin and LOTS of use. I especially liked that the timing function even worked when I was using the dough setting (unlike my previous bread machines). In the past few months I noticed what I thought were little flecks of teflon from the paddles ending up in the bread...today I noticed a HOLE in one of the kneading paddles, so I guess it was actually flecks of metal... So why, you are asking, do I give this machine 5 stars? It's given me 5 years of almost non-stop use, and I guess I just wore the kneading paddle out. The 5 stars is because I've never had a bread machine come even CLOSE to 5 years. (And the kneading blades still turn fine and never leaked oil, and the bread is always done just right--nothing at all wrong with the machine except for the hole in the paddle.) So, 5 stars--one for each year of use!
Description of Zojirushi BBCC-V20 Home Bakery Traditional BreadmakerOne of the most wonderful sensory experiences has to be the smell of baking bread. It nourishes the soul and warms the heart, just as the finished product nourishes and warms the body. This bread maker not only makes a splendid horizontal loaf, it's easy to use and clean, meaning it won't join the dud appliances gathering dust while they wait for the next yard sale. Zojirushi Home Bakery looks like an ordinary bread machine, but its additional features are a welcome surprise. It not only makes French, sandwich, basic, wheat, homemade, and other bread types, but it also makes jams, cakes, and pizza dough. Using the technology found in most bread machines--dual kneading blades, automatic timer, crust control, and auto shutoff, the Home Bakery heats and mixes jam ingredients, leaving refrigeration as the final step. The cake setting operates similarly to the bread process, but the machine adjusts its temperature to retain the moisture of cakes, such as German chocolate or butter. Aside from the plethora of uses, this machine offers many important technical features. Its quick baking option allows bread making in only two hours, the time usually spent waiting for the dough to rise. The timer also can delay baking for up to 13 hours. A beep signal lets you know when you should add fruits or nuts to the dough or jam, and another sounds when the loaf, cake, or jam is finished. Cleanup is simple, as the internal pan and kneading blades are coated with a nonstick material. Before starting, make sure to take advantage of the included recipe book and instructional video that thoroughly discuss each use of the machine, providing many helpful hints and care tips. --Madeleine Miller
