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

[pimar]

pimar Congratulations on your wonderful helper! Don't worry, you will succeed! And you can drop in at any time, except for the baking process, that is, when the remaining time is 1 hour or less.

Thank you, I already dropped by. I will remember now. I just had an unsuccessful experience four years ago (I changed the bread maker twice, in the end I took the money, apparently the whole batch came with a marriage). Well, she could not resist, again begged her husband. He's already asleep, and I walk around the bush. So I want to please everyone with bread.

Oh, well, everything, the bread turned out! Blush, smells delicious! True, the lid cracked and the scapula remained inside (I burned my fingers while picking out, there is no patience to wait until it cools down). But beautiful is insane. I'm happy.

Congratulations on your HP and on your first delicious bread.

[Sherly, Wildebeest]

Sherly, Wildebeest, Thank you for your congratulations. The children have already eaten half of the XL roll. And, although I added little water (I thought the divisions on a glass of 50 ml, and they - 10) and put the bread maker in front of the open window - it turned out very tasty. The husband woke up at night from the smell. But I forgot to take a picture. Now the little one will be baked and I will bring her photo to your court. So far I will try the very first simple recipe from the instructions. The medium crust is very good and golden. My first impressions are, of course, delight.

Hello! I live in Ukraine, I have not seen HP Panasonic in any store for a very long time. And then, the other day, I saw 254 model in one of the stores, where we never went. Apparently the old delivery is still.
The question is: is it worth taking the 254 model or is it better to order another one through the online store (you haven't had to deal with them yet)?

[Gouache]

Gouache SD 254 Old, but good model
here's a little about her https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=4086.0
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=52203.0
If you want a new model, order something like SD-2500, SD-2501, SD-2502 via the Internet
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=126137.0
Happy choice!

by the way, yes. While the models are new, their prices are relatively reasonable. 2501 model 2000 UAH
🔗

2502 there is only one offer, but the price is 313 dollars

Thanks for the answer! And another question: in that store 254 model costs 1650 UAH. Is this a good price?

[Gouache]

GouacheGood. Although I would still buy the SD-2502. But who has what financial capabilities

Thank you! We'll keep thinking.

[Gouache]

Gouache, for purchase in a regular store, the price is acceptable. But now there are many offers of 256 models of UAH 1500-1650, even a Panasonic brand store in Kiev offers from UAH 1500.

As for whether or not you had to deal with online stores - you may be advised by quite decent stores, but it is difficult to advise something without knowing where you live. Indeed, in Kiev and large cities the situation is one, in small cities it is different ...
Refine your profile so that you can see where you are from.

I am from Cherkassy, ​​not far from Kiev, in principle.

[isn't it scary to buy a stove on the internet]

then believe me, six hours on the way back and forth is quite worth the confidence of buying what you need + for more reasonable money (although, if you go by car, then at current gas prices, this benefit is "eaten up"). Look for shops that allow you to pick up your purchase from the office.

Many companies deliver by the same Autolux, Novaya Pochta ... If the HP is in its original packaging and the packaging is not touched, then the risks with Panasonic are minimal.

By the way, here is our regional theme isn't it scary to buy a stove on the internet

Thanks for the help.
We go to Kiev by minibus or train (no car).Therefore, either pick up using public transport, or through the delivery service is already in place.
Well, after all, if you do not pay attention to the delivery method, which model is better to take?

[Gouache]

Gouache SD-ZB 2502 with two dispensers for yeast and seeds or SD-2501 with one dispenser for seeds / nuts / raisins

Please note that the yeast dispenser is only suitable for dry yeast. And many of us switch to "wet" pressed ones, so this dispenser is needed like a hare a stop-signal.

Pay more attention to the new or old design (whichever you like best), the presence or absence of a dispenser.

Gouache, ideally you need to look at the classic design stoves (254/256 and 255/257) and the new ones. Whichever hands you reach, take this one.

Thank you very much! I have next week to think about it.

I have been using SD-ZB 2502 for several weeks, I have no experience with other bread makers. I am happy with this for all 100, how much I baked so the first time everything worked out. A dispenser for yeast, of course, only dry, as it is very convenient for me, the confidence that the yeast will not come into contact with the liquid. I haven't used pressed yeast yet. The coating of the bucket, as I understand it, is the same as for the 257 model and all subsequent ones, the 2501 is the same as the 2502 in all respects, the difference is in the presence of a despence for yeast, but the difference in price is substantial. 257 differs from 2501 only in design, a slightly different control menu, but not at all complicated.

Uraaa !!! Happened !!! The first bread in my life happened! Today they took 256 stoves in Metro. I NEVER went to yeast dough. Everything seemed to be hands are not sharpened. If anything baked, then from the purchased one. And then I found the Bread Maker forum and somehow my soul was worried. I kept thinking and looking. And today she looked straight at me and asked me to come into the house. The result - at half past two in the night, we eat freshly baked milk bread with my husband. They didn't even let me cool down, they attacked and stabbed the ruddy barrel. When I got it out of HP - well, just an incredible feeling. Here is my happiness today! Thanks to everyone who created such a wonderful atmosphere on this forum and to all the fans of the bakery business. I will go slowly along your paths.

[Rapunzel]

Rapunzel, congratulations on the end of the agony of choice and joining the baker's company And quietly, too, do not need to, why be careful? Baking is a fascinating, fun and reckless business.

Together it is fun to walk through the open spaces,
across open spaces, across open spaces! (bread makers and internet)

And of course it's better to hum along in chorus,
better in chorus, better in chorus! (in the company it is more fun to study)

[Rina]

Rina

Congratulations on ending the agony of choice and joining the baker's company

Thank you so much! Moreover, your advice was directly related to this event.
I can't help but share. Having tasted bread last night, my other half looked up sadly and said that now we will definitely get fat. Because it is more fun to eat bread than any cake and stop nerelano. In the morning, I set the next bread on the timer. And the size is bigger.

learning in a company is more fun

And the company is really wonderful and everything is growing by leaps and bounds, adding new bread makers and bakers. WE will take over the world!

[Rapunzel]

Rapunzel, I will reveal one secret. You fill up with homemade bread faster, so you can get fat if you hit a lot of baked goods.

Hello everyone, I also bought 257, I am preparing to bake bread, only I took the yeast SAF-levure, they write that they need to be diluted, and the Panas should be filled with dry ones, so I'm warming myself what to do?

[Ingredients for making bread]

Do not bask, but go to the section Ingredients for making bread,

and find the topics you need there, for example,
Yeast - types, use, bookmark, selection
About yeast: discussion, exchange of experience

Good afternoon, bakers!
Take a newbie into your ranks. Thanks to your site, I became the owner
Panasonic 257. Yesterday I baked my first "custard" bread from the instructions for the oven.
The bread turned out with a dense crumb, with a crispy crust. Everyone was delighted with him.
I want to say thank you to everyone! The site is just wonderful!

Take a newbie into your ranks.

Congratulations on your first successful bread! You are welcome to join us, friendly people are always welcome here. Creative success!

Forgive the moderators, if not the topic.
How not to fall in love with HP? Yesterday I came home from work, had a snack, after which I was abruptly taken to sleep. But I resisted, with the last bit of strength I put down the bread, went to bed and woke up from the smell of freshly baked bread. The smell excited everyone around.
I was vouchsafed to take out the bread from the bucket and put it on cooling, and in the morning everyone ate fresh, awesome taste, ordinary bread from the "basic" category, which we have got accustomed FOREVER.
The moral is this: I slept well, the bread was fresh, there was no need to run to the store. And how is it relevant in inclement gloomy weather?

Why "out of topic"? Perfectly in the subject. Everyone has their first (or not first) impressions. For example, I usually put on bread before going out on business.

And I return to the House where it smells of Bread.

Here is my bread, according to the simplest recipe from the instructions, very tasty and beautiful. Maybe you put it on the wrong topic, so send it where you should ... put it.

I have a 2505 model. This is my first bread maker, I have been using it for 2 weeks now. While very happy, everything rises well, bakes.
Once only the dough was kneaded not very well on the rye program: there were flour clots in the finished form in several places. I put it on at night, so I couldn't control it. But it didn’t affect the taste, and this bread turned out to be good. Later I saw that the kneading time on this program was written about 10 minutes, apparently this was not enough, I will try to make rye next time on some other program, it may mix better.

What recipes do you use for baking?

What recipes do you use for baking?

I took two recipes from the instructions: 1) everything worked out very well with olives and whole grains; 2) rye, the one that is badly mixed
and took the rest from this forum. Loved the snack bar with sausage, cheese and dill and orange with poppy seeds.

As far as I know there are Panasonic 2500, 2501 with one dispenser, 2502 with two dispensers.

Hurrah! An hour ago they brought me a Panasonic -257 bread maker !!!
Found in a local online store.

Can you please tell me how to prepare HP for use? Just wash-wipe?

Can you please tell me how to prepare HP for use? Just wash-wipe?

Congratulations! Switch on empty HP (without a bucket) directly to the Baking mode. The timer will show 30 minutes, but you can turn it off with the START button earlier .... let the heating element heat up (possibly grease and something else ...) And just wash the bucket with a soft sponge and detergent .. If you are going to bake soon, try not to wet the bottom of the bucket is outside ...

Before turning on the baking, I would wipe the teng properly and the plastic from where it comes out. there will be less smell and smoke ...

[lga, *** yana ***]

lga, *** yana ***, Thank you! Wiped it, warmed it up.

[Gouache]

Gouacheand do not be afraid if the smell of plastic is the first time .... this is normal ... good bread!

Oh thanks! I'll bake it tomorrow morning. Today I can hardly master the control over the kolobok.

What is this 2505 Bread Maker?
As far as I know there are Panasonic 2500, 2501 with one dispenser, 2502 with two dispensers.

Sorry, sealed, 2502 with two dispensers

She had already baked the first bread. While it cools down. But beautiful! ...

Please tell me the sequence of pressing the buttons for making yeast dough. I'm confused ... I want to make yeast dumplings from lean dough (think you can use the recipe for the dough I just baked bread with?).

There are two options.
1. "main" program - press the "program" button (4:00 will be displayed), then press "mode" to blink the inscription "dough" and the time 2:20 (press three times) or "dough raisin" (four; if want dough with additives).
2. "pizza" program - press the "program" button until the desired program is displayed (it seems that the time is 0:45).

In the first case, there will be "temperature equalization", in the second, the batch will start immediately.

[Rina]

Rina, Thank you!
The bread is so delicious, it's airy!

[Gouache]

Gouache, for starters, congratulations on the purchase of an assistant

If you have any questions, we have a big topic 🔗, there are useful links on the first page. Read about the kolobok, about the peculiarities of Panasonic work, most of the questions will disappear by themselves

Thanks, Rina.

I read that topic, I try to read it. In general, I am familiar with the work of HP, with the "kolobok" - I once had a "ski", but it was out of order, and for several years I dreamed of Panasonic.

Have you figured out how to display the desired program? Otherwise, this sometimes causes problems for beginners in Panasonic (they start the main program, believing that they turn on the stove)

[Rina]

Yes, Rina, as if figured out. I baked this bread White bread with semolina... And there it is so well written that for what to reap. So I did it well!

Uraaaa, now we also have Pani 257)))) Husband and mother-in-law gave it to DR))) Yesterday I put the first bread on your advice, the simplest one. I watched the kolobok a couple of times, and rated it five points. When the stove squeaked about readiness, I was almost asleep, suffering from hunger and salivation, as the smells in our small apartment were delicious ... But at one in the morning there is too much. My husband and I pulled out a stunningly beautiful bread. I didn't take a picture right away, left it in the morning. And then in the morning I get up, I run to the kitchen, and there he))) stands under the canvas))) the cut is not crumpled, but torn, because the knives in the house are dull ... And there were no wrinkles on the roof, but in the morning it appeared ...

Congratulations on your HP purchase!
To cut bread, it is better to buy a special bread knife-saw, then the cut will be even and neat. Roof wrinkles will appear, because when the loaf cools down, the internal steam rises up, and the top crust in the HP turns out to be thinner than the sides and much thinner than that of bread baked in the oven. You will have to put up with a wrinkled roof ... it does not affect the taste ...
