Description of the Kenwood BM-900 bread maker



Hello everyone!
We bought a Kenwood BM900 bread maker.

Who knows good recipes?

Hmmm .......
they turned on the stove - it went through all the cycles, but the baking worked on the cycle, but the heating element did not turn on.
We tried to use the "Baking" mode separately - the same garbage.
Apparently, the heating element has flown, since the fan is spinning and not heating.

Who had such problems, what to do?

I report: the stove was returned to the store.
Bought BM 450.
But that miracle was so good. Marriage happens everywhere, and she baked the first bread very well!

we bought such a mother-in-law for DR as a gift
I checked it fluently ... since we will carry it on, I did not bake anything completely, but everything seems to work ... I can report more after March 20

Anchutka, is there an opportunity to take a picture of the stove and upload a photo?

Anchutka, is there an opportunity to take a picture of the stove and upload a photo?

unfortunately I can't take a picture
only if in June (when we go next time)
but I really liked the stove myself
during the first batch, at first they constantly looked at what and how there, and then they forgot about it altogether and remembered only after giving a signal about the end of the program
the bread turns out wonderful, tasted on water, cheese and milk (I liked milk most of all and the crust turns out to be super-duper)
the only thing that for some reason is not possible immediately after the end of the program to get a loaf if it stands at least 10 minutes then everything is normal
in general, I am personally happy with everything, the owners seem to also want to buy myself such a miracle of technology

[Anchutka]

Anchutka, and do not try to immediately take out the bread from the bucket. While it cools down, certain processes are still going on in it. Yes, and the crust, if it sweats a little, the mixer will easily jump out of the loaf, and the crust itself, while the bread is completely cool, will have time to dry out. In general, get it out when you can take a bucket and bread with your bare hands.

In general, get it out when you can take a bucket and bread with your bare hands.

but I kind of realized that you need to take it out and put it on the wire rack to cool completely under a covered towel

for some reason, almost all manufacturers require this. But they also require the stove to be disconnected from the electrical outlet when not in use.
Just try this a couple of times - hold the bread in the bucket a little longer. ...

Anchutka, please tell me what is the volume of the dispensary for this bread machine. What is the mass of a loaf? Does it have 2 mixers? Does the recipe book come with it? Power?

we already understood this empirically)))
I will say that they would try to keep the bread for a longer time without taking out))
thanks for the advisor

I bought a bm900 bread maker yesterday and couldn't resist - I checked its work at night. I baked on the first program Just white bread as it says in the instructions. Everything turned out great, worked as written in the description, baked excellent bread. Very happy with the purchase.

And this model is not left!
There is not even an announcement for this model on any manufacturer's website.
Maybe that's why the bridegroom?

[very similar to Moulinex]

indeed, but only on the Ukrainian site and very similar to Moulinex and is not programmable, unlike the 450 model. True, the price is also cheaper than the 450 model.

And this model is not left!
There is not even an announcement for this model on any manufacturer's website.

This is a new model that went on sale in Moscow less than a month ago.
The maximum weight of a loaf is 1.5 kg!
2 stirrers
functionality is easier 450
for those who lack 1 kg of a loaf

[The overall impression of the bread machine.]

Good day!

Recently bought a Kenwood BM900 bread maker.

The overall impression of the bread machine.
Overall, the build quality is good and the looks are very nice.
The cover is removable, because of this, the reliability of its fastening raises some concerns. It looks a little flimsy. There is no center handle for lifting the lid. Only on the sides - finger hooks. In principle, you can open / close by holding and holding one hold from one side, but this causes a slight skew of the cover (and uneven load on the fasteners), so it is better to hold it on both sides.
There is a window in the lid, but there is no backlight - therefore, its efficiency is zero (you can only see what is going on inside by shining a flashlight into this window).
The advantages include a large bucket (2 sizes of bread - 1 kg and 1.5 kg) in which there are two screws for kneading the dough.
Ease of controls. The oven has 11 programs (of which 7 are for baking bread, and the other 4 are oven, jam, kneading 2 types of dough). There is no possibility to program. Choice of crust color and express baking (just over an hour). Timer.
As far as I was told in the store, the company is positioning it as a replacement for BM250 (256), only with a dispenser and an increased bread size.

Note: before using it for the first time (besides just wiping it with a damp sponge), the heating coil must be calcined to get rid of the unpleasant odor. To do this, turn on the 11th program (baking) for 10-12 minutes without a bucket with an open lid. If necessary, repeat once more after cooling completely.

In the store we were given an already printed book of recipes for this bread maker in Russian, so the first experiments in baking were done according to the manufacturer's instructions.

First bread.
The very first recipe was taken as a basis: White egg bread on the 1st program (standard mode).
It was during Lent, so eggs were excluded from the recipe.

Lean white bread (loaf size 1 kg (1.5 kg), medium crust, standard setting)
Water: 370 (490) ml
Vegetable oil: 1.5 tbsp l. (1 tbsp. L. Sunflower + 0.5 tbsp. L. Olive)
Flour: 600 g (800 g) (premium wheat).
Salt: 1.5 tsp (2 tsp).
Sugar: 4 tsp (2 tbsp. L.) (Brown reed).
Yeast: 1.5 tsp ("Saf-Moment" bakery fast-acting dry, made in Russia).
Added to the bucket in the order indicated in the recipe. For the yeast, I made a depression in the flour. For measurements I used a measuring cup and spoon from the kit, as well as an electronic balance.
Program duration: 3 hours 15 minutes (3 hours 25 minutes) (of which baking 55 minutes (65 minutes)). After the end of the program, after evaluating the color of the “roof” of the bread, he put it on baking for another 10-12 minutes.

Here's the result:





The next day I baked bread for 1.5 kg.



It was experimentally found that the degree of baking of the "roof" practically does not depend on the size of the bread. After Lent, the addition of eggs and milk radically changed the situation - the "roof" became beautiful and ruddy.
The lean bread turned out to be a little "humped": this is due to the fact that there are 2 screws in this oven, and as a result of mixing between approaches, a small "mound" is formed above each. This does not affect the taste or the approach of the test at all. The "non-postal" dough behaves differently - the "roof" is uniformly convex.
The bread maker is great at kneading the dough and it works great. The bread is light and tasty.

So far, there are no complaints about the work of the bread maker. Everyone is happy.
Best regards, Vitaly.

PS: if you put bread to bake overnight, then its heart-rending sound signal (the time for adding additional ingredients is about 20-25 minutes after the start of kneading) and clicks when opening the dispenser can wake up.

Hello dear lovers of delicious homemade bread! Please help me with this problem to figure it out: bought KENWOOD BM 900, bribed the mass of baked goods 1500g.In general, we filled in all the ingredients as written in the instructions, everything is simple there, we chose the baking mode required for 1.5 kg and turned it on! the process has started, everything is spinning and spinning, kneading and heating is in progress, it takes 3 hours and 30 minutes, the signal went off about readiness, we open it, look, and there is some kind of undercooked brick! and the dough didn't rise at all. that crust that is beautiful in shape, and the top is some kind of bubbles and not fried at all. In general, there is no volume at all and is not fried inside. We tried again and in the end the second * damn * lumpy turned out. Please help me figure this out! And now I heard that ovens weighing more than 1 kg of baking are so capricious and do not bake normally. Can such an honest company be able to mass-produce such bullshit? hard to believe in this ..... I look forward to your advice and opinions!

If you are having problems baking bread in a bread maker, see the section
Helpful hints and help in baking bread.
Study, please
UNDERSTANDING BREAD IN HOMEMADE BREAD,
paying particular attention The kolobok rule

Hello RINA and all members of the forum! I can read well, but with my Internet dead through a megaphone modem, you can't read a lot of things and you can't taste delicious bread. I ask you to give direct and practical advice to my specific question, if possible! The main thing is that I checked everything in the bread maker, everything works, the spiral is red, the timer counts, I follow the ingredients' norms, and as a result, some kind of burnt brick that didn't rise! I even bought a mains voltage stabilizer so as not to sin at 220 V and there is no sense in it. I have already baked two bricks, and now the third is on its way.

I can take video advice via Skype or written via ICQ

[Homemade Bread Maker Baking Tutorial]

You just need to open "Homemade Bread Maker Baking Tutorial"(You were given active links to the same forum) and read the basic information about the balance of water and flour. Judging by your description, you have a mess with the recipe or the ingredients were incorrectly measured.

1.It is advisable to take a recipe for the simplest wheat bread in grams (not cups or glasses).
2.use the basic (main) program
3. Measure the food with a scale.
4. check the consistency of the dough during kneading - you should get a smooth kolobok, which is described very well in the same "Manual" in paragraph 7 (kolobok rule).

More clearly and sensibly than I wrote Adminin the "Manual ...", it is difficult to write.

[Freeloader]

Freeloader, judging by your description, everything is in order with the stove, but the problem is with the recipe. Here is the topic "Help, nothing comes out (ambulance)", write there what recipe you used, how and what the products were measured, what the dough looked like at the kneading stage, it is desirable to show photographs. In this topic, you will be given a "debriefing" with the solution of all errors.

Thank you all! just took out another * brick * from the mold and I took a photo of 3 pieces already. and how to put these photos here?

We have a Kenwood 900BM bread machine, but 1.5 kg of the product has never been baked. It turns out bread 1 kg in the baking mode for 1.5 kg and a brioche bun 750 g in the baking mode 1.5 kg. If you choose with a large weight, the product is not baked, it grows very tall and not baked.
Pay attention to the yeast, best of all "SAF-MOMENT" with a scoop on the label. The recipes were taken from Kenwood 450.
Good luck!

Hello everybody! Here we have baked another bread in kenwood bm900 and for some reason the crust that rises above the bread pan is not baked. A transparent type of film is formed and there is absolutely no redness and crunch, and in general the bread rose and baked normally. The batch was 1kg. Help anyone with advice. I look forward to very much and thanks in advance!

Have you bought a Kenwood BM900, tell me, do you need to fry the heating elements before the first use or, as the instructions say, rinse everything inside?

Kenwood 900BM bread maker owners, help! They gave the mother-in-law such a bread maker, she was very pleased, she just started to figure out the recipes, so how, she baked a couple of breads, and then the children lost the CD with recipes that came with the bread maker. Can someone help copy the contents of the disk and send the doggy to selebri mail
Or at least a few recipes from this disc to post here on the forum.

A week ago I bought myself such a bread maker. I really like that she has two in the way - she bakes everything well, I like the large form of bread - there is enough loaf for the whole family for a day. Convenient dispensary. Quiet. Of the shortcomings, if you can call it that, there is not enough backlight inside. You have to shine a flashlight. Once I put her on a bread program at night. I woke up in the morning and the bread was still warm. Yes, and I did not buy the scales, because the set includes a very convenient measuring cup and spoon.

Hello!

We bought a Kenwood 900BM bread maker, we are very satisfied, the bread is delicious!
Many thanks to the moderators of this site! I learned a lot of useful information.

Good day to all! I have had such a HP for three months, I am very satisfied, there have never been any punctures with baking.But here I have a question for the owners of this unit - what is its capacity, so I cannot find a polazioa according to the documents

I welcome the local members of the forum !! I bought this very stove, indicated in the title of the topic) there is a question - I still do not understand if it can bake rye bread? on which program?

Hello to all members of the forum, especially those who responded to my questions here. Now I also decided to write to help newbies. Our problem turned out to be that we measured flour with a measure from the oven kit, and on it the measures were in milliliters for liquid, and not in grams. So it turned out that the slurry came out, not the dough, and therefore the bread was baked on and the dough did not rise, in short, the proportions were violated and the porridge was boiled !!! And now, when we figured it out, everything is simply gorgeous and the weight of 1 and 1.5 kg is baked without a difference and the shape and appearance is obtained as here in the photo posted by other members of the forum. Everything is great in one word. I fell asleep, chose, for example, the first main program, the color of the crust and the mass of baked goods, pressed start and forget, everything works out by itself! So that beginners do not suffer, I want to write the proportions: for example, for bread for 1 kg, pour 350 ml of water with a measure of native water, pour 2 full measures of flour to the top and another 150 ml (so as not to weigh flour on the scales), the rest of the ingredients according to the recipe from the book. For 1.5 kg of baked goods - water 500-520 ml, flour 3 full measurements to the top and another 250 ml according to the marks on the measuring, the rest according to the book and recipe for 1.5 kg. I personally checked it - everything works without problems, it is baked and the bread turns out to be lush and plump, like a young large breast !!! Bon appetit and good thoughts. I hope someone helped at least a little !!!

Good day to all! I have had such a HP for three months, I am very satisfied, there have never been any punctures with baking.But here I have a question for the owners of this unit - what is its capacity, so I cannot find a polazioa according to the documents

Why look for something there? Her power is 950 watts and this is quite enough.When baking, the automation very often turns off the heating so that the bread does not burn and the fan drives the heat so that the baking is the same everywhere. It turns out that baking takes place in the last 60-65 minutes of the program time, of which the oven often turns off and turns on itself when necessary, the thermostat is there !!!

The other day we also became the owners of this stove. We are very satisfied after the moulinex, which baked a brick in fast mode for the first time, and did not turn on the second time. We managed to get the money back))
The first thing we cooked in it was pizza dough. It turned out to be very lush, like a cake. Plus I used the sheets not for 30, but for about 27 cm. The pizza was on a thick dough)) but it was very tasty. I myself would not have kneaded so. I used fast pizza yeast (such a small bag is designed for 500 grams of flour, so a little less is needed for the recipe). Also, the program for 1.5 hours: 30 minutes kneading, 60 lifting. I took out the dough 10 minutes after kneading, it was ready. If you like thin crust pizza, I advise you to reduce the proportions by a third or roll them out more than 30 cm.

She dreamed of making rye bread more than anything else. Everyone knows that he is the most capricious. I chose the recipe from the third section (with dark flour).
The first one turned out not very, very dense dough came out, not distributed in shape, cracked ... baked, but the bread is not even and not porous inside. It is not clear what kind of dark flour is needed according to the recipe, maybe that's why the bread was very dense.
Today I refined this recipe and got a great result. here's what needs to be changed:
I have rye flour after yesterday's - 450 gr. (peeled rye flour), accordingly increased the amount of white flour.
White flour (premium grade) - 150 gr.
Add kvass wort to the recipe (I found a liquid concentrate) - about 15 ml, a little more, there will be darker bread.
water is not 340 ml, but 370-380, because the dough is otherwise too dense.
I added half a spoonful of lemon juice
everything else is unchanged.
Now program 3, fast mode. At the end of the last rise, turn off the program and wait for the dough to actually grow and evenly distribute in the form. As soon as this has happened, we turn on program 11 - baking. In an hour, the delicious bread is ready. It was difficult to shake it out of the mold, but the stirrers remained not in the bread, but in the trough, there was no need to pick them out.
Of course this is a recipe for express bread ... but still ok. The real one should be leavened, and it is cooked for 3 days ...
You can leave everything in the recipe unchanged, except for the amount of water, you definitely need more and so that it is lukewarm 32-35 degrees.

I still have a question about flour, where unbleached flour and wholemeal flour are often mentioned in recipes ... Under what name can you buy it in a store?
I found general purpose wheat flour ... I believe it is "not bleached" flour, but I may be wrong.

I also want to add about the bread maker itself.
From Moulinex 5024 ill-fated, it almost does not differ in functions. The advantage is the dispenser and design, the disadvantage is the lack of a mold for baguettes, not such a convenient recipe book. by the way, it was not in the box in printed form, you need to look at the copy ..
If you can buy such baguette forms from Moulinex, it would be cool)) I think they will fit here too. it is necessary to ventilate this question ...

I bake in it for several months. I am very pleased, VM900 is not capricious. The convection is powerful, more powerful than in the VM350. Luxurious kneading, beautiful design, a lot of dough can be kneaded, though noisy dispenser. I love her dearly. If you need advice - contact us!

Should you hear convection?
Now bread is being baked, but something is quite quiet. how to understand the convector works or not?

[Julia-VM900]

Hello everyone, I read the forum for several days, he helped me decide on the choice of the model (at first I thought about Moulinex, but I read that there was a lot of marriage and settled on this model). Now I decided to register))
I also have a VM 900, for seg. day we use it for about 2 weeks,
until everything (mmm) bakes normally.
I really like that the crust does not fry much in the middle position.

agree with Julia-VM900 , not enough molds for baguettes ...

put a cupcake, let's see what happens))

Here is such a cupcake, very tasty, but for some reason the middle fell a little!

recipe from the Mulinex book, 1 kg cupcake.
baked on 1 program on an accelerated mode by 1 kg

Weight: 1000 gr.
Eggs: 5 pcs.
Sugar: 165 gr.
Vanilla sugar: 1 packet
Salt: 1 chips.
Dark rum: 1 ½ tbsp l. (replaced with cognac)
Butter: 230 gr.
Finely ground wheat flour (type 45): 330 gr.
Baking powder (baking powder): 2 ½ tsp.
Raisins: 75 gr.
Candied fruits: 75 gr. (I didn't have candied fruits, I put more raisins)

I also tried to bake orange muffins. I baked on the Sweet Bread program and chose a light crust. And the cake turned out with a very dark crust on the sides and bottom, and the top was light.
I took the recipe from this site, I put 40 grams less oil. I do not think that because of this the crust turned out dark. But it was delicious.
I also realized that it is necessary to "fish out" the stirrers before baking, and that is the risk that when pulling out the cake, a piece of it will remain in the form with the stirrer together, it happened to me.

I have corn and rice flour, I want to try gluten-free bread. Does anyone know you can do this without special mixtures and emulsifiers? there are no adequate recipes in the book ...

Good day! Please tell me what could be with the BM900, which means that every other time the stove is cut down about 20 minutes before the end of baking. Yesterday baking passed the norms, but today the program stopped in about 20 minutes and had to bake it in the oven ..

Hello dear formuchane! We bought a Kenwood BM900 bread maker yesterday, we want to test it now. Can you please tell me whether she kneads the dough and bakes Brioche buns herself, or does she knead the dough, and then you need to divide and bake it in the oven? I haven't really understood yet. Thank you in advance!!!
