So,
my conclusions based on the results of testing the Philips HD9046 bread makerThe Philips HD9046 bread maker has
unusual interesting design with a conveniently located control panel, small dimensions, and
looks very petite in comparison with stoves of a similar volume of a bucket.
IN
complete set This model, in addition to a measuring cup, a hook for removing a spatula from bread, a measuring spoon, which is traditional for bread makers, includes a container for fermenting yogurt in a 1 liter bread machine with a screw lid. All plastic products are marked PP5,
the quality is very good (smooth surface, no flaws, notches, etc.).
The bucket and spatula have a fairly
resistant coating, during testing (4 weeks) it did not change a little.
No extraneous odors the bread maker did not. When unpacking, there was a smell of new technology, but it was insignificant and disappeared completely within a couple of hours. At the first heating, there were no burning odors.
Noise level when mixed, medium. There is a slight hum when mixing with the lid closed, it disappears if you slightly open the lid.
The alarm sound is loud - can be easily heard from another room.
Breadmaker has
14 modes:
1. White bread... The mode is intended for baking yeast bread with wheat flour. The mode lasts 4 hours.
Algorithm of the program in the "White bread" mode (cycle for 1000gr, crust color "medium"):
1 batch | | | 15 minutes |
1 proofing | | | 45 minutes |
2 batch | | | 15 minutes | | | beep 5 minutes before the end |
2 proofing | | | 55 minutes | | | 5 minutes before the end one minute workout |
3 proofing | | | 55 minutes | | | last 39 minutes heated |
bakery products | | | 55 minutes |
The bread maker does an excellent job of kneading, proving and baking wheat yeast bread in this mode. The main thing is not to reduce the amount of dough much less than the declared one, so as not to brown the bread on baked goods. On the second batch, there is a sound signal for adding additives to the dough.
2. Fast white bread... This mode is intended for accelerated baking of yeast wheat bread. In this mode, the proving time is reduced, because the bread will be somewhat denser than in the "White bread" mode
Algorithm of the program in the "Fast white bread" mode (cycle for 1000 g, crust color "medium"):
1 batch | | | 14 minutes |
1 proofing | | | 10 minutes |
2 batch | | | 16 minutes | | | sound signal after 6 minutes from the start |
2 proofing | | | 20 minutes | | | 5 minutes before the end one minute workout |
3 proofing | | | 55 minutes |
bakery products | | | 55 minutes |
The whole mode lasts 2 hours 50 minutes
3. Borodino bread... The mode is intended for baking rye yeast bread.
Algorithm of the program:
1 batch | | | 10 minutes | | | mixing starts 30 minutes after the start of the mode |
1 proofing | | | 30 minutes |
2 batch | | | 20 minutes | | | in 10 minutes from the beginning, a sound signal |
2 and 3 proofings | | | 90 minutes |
bakery products | | | 60 minutes |
The bread maker does a good job of baking yeast rye bread. The algorithm of the "Borodinsky Bread" mode program is quite competently drawn up - there is no unnecessary kneading between 2 and 3 proofings - this is a big plus for rye bread. Another would be to do without the second batch ... Or reduce it to 5-10 minutes ... just to fall asleep and mix additives ... then it would be an ideal in general.
This setting works well with rye and wheat bread.
4. French bread... This mode is intended for baking French bread (sugar free on wheat flour).
Algorithm of the program (750gr, Medium):
1 batch | | | 14 minutes | 1 proofing | | | 25 minutes | 2 batch | | | 16 minutes | | | in 10 minutes from the beginning, a sound signal | 2 proofing | | | 35 minutes | | | 5 minutes before the end one minute workout | 3 proofing | | | 70 minutes | bakery products | | | 70 minutes |
|
The algorithm of the program is built very competently. The result is a very tender, porous, light bread
5. Sweet pastries... The mode is intended for baking muffins (dough with an abundance of sugar and butter).
Algorithm of the program (weight 750g, medium crust):
1 batch | | | 10 minutes |
1 proofing | | | 45 minutes |
2 batch | | | 20 minutes | | | in 10 minutes from the beginning, a sound signal |
2 proofing | | | 15 minutes | | | 5 minutes before the end one minute workout |
3 proofing | | | 60 minutes |
bakery products | | | 57 minutes |
In general, the mode lasts 3 hours 22 minutes
The mode turned out to be ideal for baking muffins, including kulich. I am very happy with the result on this mode.
6. Express baking.
Algorithm of the program:
1 batch | | | 4 minutes |
2 batch | | | 8 minutes |
3 proofing | | | 18 minutes |
bakery products | | | 28 minutes |
In general, the mode lasts 58 minutes
Honestly, I don't even know what can be cooked / baked in this mode. Many bread makers have these express modes, but every time I wonder what they are for.
7. Gluten-free bread... This setting is for gluten-free yeast bread.
Algorithm of the program (cycle for 750gr):
1 batch | | | 12 minutes |
1 proofing | | | 30 minutes |
2 batch | | | 11 minutes | | | sound signal after 5 minutes |
2 and 3 proofings | | | 63 minutes | | | at the very beginning, a minute workout |
bakery products | | | 45 minutes |
If you need to remove the scapula, then you need to do this at the beginning of the second proofing (there will be no more kneading)
The kneading does not take place immediately (after 30 minutes from the start of the program). The algorithm is very well chosen: first, a long kneading, and after a long proofing, allowing such bread to rise. On the second batch, there is a sound signal for adding additives to the dough.
8. Whole grain breadAlgorithm of the program (cycle for 750g, medium crust):
1 batch | | | 10 minutes | | | mixing starts 30 minutes after the start of the mode |
1 proofing | | | 30 minutes |
2 batch | | | 20 minutes | | | in 10 minutes from the beginning, a sound signal |
2 and 3 proofings | | | 90 minutes |
bakery products | | | 60 minutes |
The algorithm of the program in this mode provides for long-term proofing without kneading. This algorithm is good for rye bread. In this case, proofing takes place with heating. The kneading does not take place immediately (after 30 minutes from the start of the program), which allows the whole grain flour to absorb liquid before kneading. All this allows whole grain rye bread to rise in this setting before baking.
For whole wheat bread or rye-wheat bread, the proofing without kneading is too long, because the dough stops standing, and the dome collapses during baking. Whole wheat wheat can be baked on the "White bread" mode
9. Yogurt... This mode is intended for fermenting yoghurt in a special container included in the kit. The container is installed in a bucket without a spatula. The temperature in this mode is kept around 38 ° С. Very good temperature - there will definitely not be overheating.
In addition to fermenting the yoghurt in this mode, you can thaw the butter for the bread before adding the remaining ingredients. It turned out to be very convenient. The mode lasts 8 hours.
10. Dough... The mode is intended for kneading yeast dough. The algorithm of the program of this mode involves proving to rise yeast dough:
1 batch | | | 10 minutes |
1 proofing | | | 0 minutes |
2 batch | | | 12 minutes | | | In 5 minutes from the beginning of the second batch, a sound signal |
2 proofing | | | 23 minutes | | | 5 minutes before the end of the 2nd proofing, one minute workout |
3 proofing | | | 45 minutes | | | Last 23 minutes heated proofing |
The dough mixes well and has time to rise. And after that the dough can be cut into pies, pizza, flat cakes, etc. During the second kneading there is a sound signal for adding additives to the dough.
11. Unleavened dough... The mode is intended for mixing unleavened dough. Convenient for puff pastry, dumplings, pasta dough, etc. The mode lasts 18 minutes. During this time, the dough is well kneaded.
Algorithm of the program:
1 batch | | | 3 minutes |
2 batch | | | 15 minutes |
12. Kulich... This mode has a shortened proving program, so the cake may not rise to the full.
Algorithm of the program in this mode:
1 batch | | | 8 minutes |
1 proofing | | | 9 minutes |
2 batch | | | 13 minutes |
2 proofing | | | 30 minutes |
bakery products | | | 60 minutes |
As you can see from the table, this is a short bread baking mode. During the second batch, there is no sound signal for adding additives. This surprised me a lot - in all modes that I had experienced before (even on French bread), there is a sound signal for the bookmark, but on the "Kulich" there is no, namely for the cake it is very much even needed. Well, the fact that the reduced mode does not give the butter dough (and this is exactly what the cake dough is) rise well in 30 minutes. In general, I would not use this mode for muffin. It is more suitable for those who need to bake wheat bread very quickly (in 2 hours).
13. Jam... The mode lasts 1 hour. The first 15 minutes is intensive stirring without heating (apparently, for stirring sugar), and then light stirring with heat. In this mode, it is convenient to cook confiture, preserves or jam and not be afraid that something will burn. Of course, the jam may not have time to cook in 45 minutes, but you can start the mode more than once ...
14. Individual... In this mode, it is possible to set the time for each stage of bread preparation. This setting can be used for sourdough bread.
Algorithm of the program in this mode:
Knead 1 | 0:08-0:16 |
Prover 1 (rise 1) | 0:20-1:00 |
Knead 2 | 0:10-0:25 | (beep before the second batch) |
Rise 2 | 0:05-2:00 | (heated, warm-up for 1 minute, 5 minutes before the end of the stage) |
Rise 3 | 0:00-2:00 | (heated, no wrinkles) |
Baking (bake) | 0:20-1:18 |
Keep warm | 0:00-1:00 |
If you need to bake sourdough rye bread, I recommend removing the spatula after the first batch so that the bun is not damaged during the next kneading and kneading.
Overall bread maker
made a very good impression... She can do a lot and does it very well. Of course, there are small nuances, as in any technique ...
For example,
1. In my copy there are stains on the inside of the case with an unclear nature. In the process of testing, their state has not changed at all.
2. A rather tight mechanism for fixing the bucket in the body of the bread machine, and purely on sensations, the interaction of the metal in the drive when turning / fixing is unpleasant.
3. I would shorten the second batch on the "Borodino bread" mode, and mark the "Kulich" mode as reduced (so that there is no disappointment from the cake among users - not everyone will guess how to bake the cake on the "Sweet Pastry" mode), but if it really is for Easter cake, it would add a beep on the second batch. And I would also note in the instructions / recipe book that the "Whole grain bread" mode is for rye bread (so that there are no disappointments with the failed whole wheat wheat dome in this mode).
These are, perhaps, all the subtleties that I noticed during testing the Philips HD9046 bread maker.
I am very pleased with the bread maker and the baking results in it too
