Hurray, bought a Panasonic bread maker! First impressions and reviews

Congratulations!
I bake and am amazed at what good bread this oven bakes!

And I was alarmed that the 257 model is cheaper. And I also thought that this model is time-tested.
And the bucket, I think, will do!
And what, the 255th bucket quickly deteriorates? What's going on with him?

No, I read somewhere in the comparisons that the bucket was improved because in the previous model there were some complaints. What exactly I do not know yet. I have not found the information yet.

[Verchik Alena78]

Verchik Alena78 The bucket is scratched by salt or seeds, usually after 6-12 months of service. But this does not happen for everyone.

And when it scratches, does it bake worse?

[Alena78]

Alena78 when teflon scuffs form, after about a year, the bread will bake (as if the crust turns out darker in the places where it is worn), but in general this does not affect the quality of the bread

Thank you!
I don't seem to bake with seeds, my family doesn't like it.
I love one. And I don't eat much. I cannot master the whole.

And how can it get scratched from salt? The salt dissolves!

[Alena78]

Alena78 I may not correctly expressed my thoughts Not from the salt itself, but from the impurities that come across in it if you use coarse or sea salt.

Thanks for the consultation! We'll try to be careful ...
I baked the first bread without any problems, but yesterday I poured all the ingredients for the first time, but forgot to insert the spatula ... * JOKINGLY * The main thing was that I poured water, I had to insert it by touch. And this morning, for some reason, the str did not press correctly, reset the settings and did not turn on. * JOKINGLY * Until I left, I thought I came and turned it on without any problems.

I always watch the kolobok so that he behaves well there. During the proofing, sometimes I spy on how he lives there? And already during baking, of course, I don't interfere with the process.

All the best and even koloboks

I started reading the forum a month ago, and this Saturday, September 25, they brought me a bread machine as a gift. True, not 257 (as requested), but 256. But now ... for a gift horse ... you know
And since there are not so many differences between them, and there are no topics from the 256th, I mark here as a beginner

The stove is great! Five loaves have been baked since Saturday - that's it! well, just all five were successful! We really didn't take the photos, but we'll fix it

While I tried the Basic mode and on it were made Milk bread, Egg bread and Honey-nut bread - all recipes from the instructions. Most of all, the household liked the honey
And then I bought some bran and also tried the Diet regimen and bread with yogurt.
And then she dispersed altogether and baked bread with the addition of instant cereals in the Basic mode. They are generally for cooking porridge without cooking, but they went perfectly into bread.

In general, the whole seed is very happy with the gift. Despite the fact that I am a complete layman in baking, I put all the products according to the instructions and the results are wonderful.

Hello dear bakers! Finally, this miracle appeared on my farm. We had love at first sight with her. The first 3 baked goods are not lumpy (2 bread and one cupcake), from recipe instructions. We are delighted with the whole family. I was especially surprised that I got bread the first time. I was already in the mood for long and hard training in baking bread, but everything turned out to be easier. My husband persuaded me to set the timer on the very first evening, and in the morning we woke up and smelled the awesome smell of freshly baked bread. Lush, fragrant, better than you can imagine. I do not regret that after a long choice I settled on this model.Together with the forum, I will further explore its capabilities.

Try to dissolve the salt and sugar in the liquid before placing it in the oven, and you will reduce the damage from solids to zero!

The third week since I got this miracle of technology. For a long time I chose a model based on reviews, leaning first to one or to another brand. And I found one or the other shortcomings. It was somehow scary to buy cheap models: as they say, a miser pays twice. After much thought and searching, the purchase of 257 Panasonic was somehow quickly completed. I called one of the local online stores, they said that she was in the office (waiting right for me), immediately went and returned with her.
I will say: starting with the simplest bread from the manual for HP, it turned out immediately and awesome.
If, before the purchase, the whole family was skeptical about my idea, they say my mother has another whim, well, if you want, then throw away the money. Now everyone is not praising bread. And if earlier 600g loaf of industrial production was eaten for two days, now 1kg loaf disappears in 1 evening. I don't have time to put the food in the bucket.
Has already baked different products. Everyone is delighted with the Easter cake from Elena Bo. I went with a bang.
The only thing I cannot decide on rye bread, for some reason, is scary.
But you need to experiment with it too.

People, but how noisy does Panasonic 257 work when stirring dough (more precisely, when working without dough)? It seemed to me that it was very loud, somehow.

Here's just what the stove began to check, as they say here, yes, at the beginning the mixer twitches, but with the sound of clanking metal almost, and when it starts spinning, there is also some strange sound, rustling.

When installing the mixer, it is somehow not tight - if you move it, then it is clearly with a gap - is that how it should be?

Accordingly, when it starts to interfere again after stopping, a metal-to-metal impact sound is heard.

[Yalenka]

Yalenka Don't panic! This is by design! When baking bread, the spatula "sticks" to the axis so as not to stay in the bread. Accordingly, the empty HP will thunder.

Thank you for your prompt reply (I also pressed the necessary button).

Another question, should the coating in the bucket be smooth? And then in one place I spend with a cotton pad - obviously rough (not visible to the eye), even the fibers from the cotton remain.

[Yalenka]

Yalenka It's within tolerance

Well, now I'll start the oven!

Easter cake recipe from Elena bope. Baking is already in progress (30 minutes left until the end of the program), and the apple and raisins are still in the dispenser.

What could it be?

Easter cake recipe from Elena bope. Baking is already in progress (30 minutes left until the end of the program), and the apple and raisins are still in the dispenser.

What could it be?

Most likely, you have not chosen the "raisin" program. The dispenser in Panasonic is such that it may not open only if there is no required command or if it is oh-oh-oh-very dirty "stuck".

The baking is not over yet.
Especially looked: Basic, Raisin mode.

The first time I bake in a completely new oven, I took out the dispenser, washed it, wiped it dry.

Was the lid tightly closed? Did you hear loud clicks?

To check the performance of the dispenser, press (after baking and cooling) the button at the end of the lid. Only with an empty dispenser, or the bucket should be in the HP. Next time you bake plain wheat bread, set the "raisin" setting too, but do not load anything into the dispenser. If even then it does not open, alas, you need to contact the service.

The dispenser may not have been correctly inserted yet, but this is unlikely.

Thank you Rina72.

The lid was closed, I heard a loud click - I also thought that it was probably the dispenser and opened, but looking under its lid I saw that all the contents were in place

It means still to check.

Yes, the cake is already baked. I opened the lid and the dispenser was open! But the apple remained, and the raisins spilled out, but not all.
The cake turned out to be hefty and, apparently, the dough propped up this very lid.

Apparently, it is better to ask further questions in the topic prokulich?

About working with dough and additives - yes, in the topic of kulich. About the technical features of HP - best of all here.

Try not to put wet sticky food or food that can melt into the dispenser - sausage, apple, cheese. Better to put on a click - just open the lid and pour in a handful of ingredients. By the way, this will allow you to put in more additives than the dispenser holds. For raisins there is another lotion - after washing and drying the raisins, roll them in flour. This will prevent it from sticking and stir evenly in the dough (this is especially important if the pastry is very soft).

One more question about technical details.

I knead the dough for dumplings - a squeak-squeak is clearly audible.
This is normal?

This is normal.

Something and my husband did not like this sound. And why does it creak so, maybe you know?

I mean, about the sound of clanking metal - explained - and everything is clear, it became calm.

And here I still want clarity.

My nerves still cannot withstand such a creak (especially when the smell of an engine running with strain is still heard). Therefore, I knead the dough for dumplings a little tighter than bread dough, and then "bring" it to consistency with my hands. HP does its job, stirring the bulk of the flour - some important processes take place there, "gluten develops", which greatly affects the quality of the dough.

[Rina72]

Rina72, today I am doing something again Easter cake from Elena Bo, a smaller portion - so she squeaks again!
The dough doesn’t seem to be tight, because a part is smeared on the bottom ... Oh-oh-oh, how it creaked, probably yesterday, when I was not at home and wheat-rye bread was made from the instructions !!!

Well, I don’t know. Do you have anyone who also has a Panasonic? Just to hear how it works for them. The fact is that service technicians really do not like to admit that something is wrong with the stove, if there is no completely clear breakdown.

No acquaintances, but you have to look among the Minskers on this site.

Just record the sound and put it on the Internet

[Panasonic SD-257]

Hello everyone!!!!!!
Take me into your ranks.
Today my husband gave a bread maker Panasonic SD-257.
After reading many reviews on the internet, I decided to stay on it.
Bought in M-Video on Alekseevskaya.
The consultant discouraged from this model for a very long time, offered to take Bork, Moulinex, or Kenwood.
Still, I insisted on my own
Now the owner Panasonic SD-257.
It’s very interesting why he discouraged me so?

Today I became the owner of Panasonic SD-257WTS.
I just loaded the "Basic Bread" size L.
In the morning we will try

[Lenochka_L]

Lenochka_L, welcome to the company of bakers!
Share your first impressions tomorrow. His first bread happens once in a lifetime. I wish you that he was both the first and successful at once.

Yesterday I could not stand it, and put the dough in the night (FOR THE FIRST TIME !!!!!)
Today in the morning, we tried bread according to the main recipe.
This is something you cannot compare with a purchased one in life.
Not a bit regretted the purchase.
I have a bread maker for less than a day, but I already love her
Today I'll try to make pizza dough in it

Rina72, Thank you very much for your wish.
Yesterday I could not stand it, and put the dough overnight.
Today we have already tasted our bread.

It turned out very lucky. Golden in color, with a crispy crust, and the taste and smell simply cannot be conveyed.
You can't compare it with a store one. I am no longer a visitor in the bread department

Lenochka, with a useful and pleasant purchase and with your first successful bread!
I have had a stove for 3 years and I still enjoy it, and not only me))) And recently I gave it to my mom on DR, only a different brand, but I am also VERY happy !!!

I have a bread maker for less than a day, but I already love her
Today I'll try to make pizza dough in it

The dough will come out awesome. It's hard to knead with your hands. How does our "worker" help us I love mine too

Now, almost a week has passed since the appearance of this stove at home.Waves were about her performance, but, for some reason, not about the ability to bake bread.

All this time we have been eating our own rye, and delicious cake from Elena Bo. The whole family likes it.

There were punctures with a dispenser - the raisins were stuck; the squeaking sound was when kneading the dough (from somehow disappeared by itself).

Now I have calmed down at the expense of the oven itself - I am learning how to oven. So far so good!

Thanks again to everyone who helped me test the stove!

I can’t calm down. Already I kneaded the pizza dough, it turned out sooooo tender and airy.
Now I'm baking French bread.

dear owners of SD-257
clarify to me the situation with the russification of this model.
the display itself is not russified ?? I look at the pictures there on the display with the word BAKE in English. I downloaded the instructions from panasonica there is no mention of the model with the WTS nidex. what are these letters WTS?
Internet stores sell 257 WTS.

The display is not Russified. All designations are indicated in the instructions.
The WTS model is designed for the CIS market and has a corresponding set of programs. In European models there are no modes "dumplings" and "jam / jam" (there are modes "Italian", "sandwich").

Can you please tell me, I put the batch to do (with baking) on ​​the usual mode (after 4 hours) - it’s worth it. And how to switch to fast mode - it works here.
This is normal?

Maybe this topic was already there) I just went to the forum, I haven't got my bearings yet.

Yes, normal, it should be so. With a long program, the temperature is equalized first from 30 minutes to an hour, and with an accelerated program, immediately kneading

Thank you so much! I could not stand it - I launched a fast one))

[Oksana]

Oksana, read here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&Itemid=99999999&topic=94759.0, I tried to more or less paint the questions on Panasonic.

Urrraaaaaaa! I became the owner of my model 257 bread maker! I chose more than a month, 2 weeks will be delivered - and here she is, my beauty.
Today will be the first experience in making bread, while I am here - my KhPshechka is already working. And even if "the first pancake is lumpy" - it's all the same happy

Beska, congratulations on such a wonderful purchase: flowers: And you won't have any pancake, but everything will be

nut, thank you for your kind words.
I immediately put it on fast mode - I want to see what happens. I read on this site all the warnings about probable sounds, smells and time-wasting - so far I have not noticed this with my own. Maybe I was just lucky (or maybe vice versa. I figured it out for a while), but I don't hear any grinding of metal on metal at all. works somehow quietly.
That's just, apparently, with the time of baking something messed up. I set 2 hours on a timer, I read here - they say, this is the time after which it will bake. And she immediately began to knead. Then the time comes out, after which the bread will be ready?
