Product Description
-------------------
Panasonic Automatic Bread Maker
.com
----
Providing myriad options, this automatic bread maker embodies
the marvels of 21st century electronic convenience and choice.
Yes, it mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread in three loaf sizes
up to 2-1/2 pounds. But its digital controls go much further,
offering settings for white, whole wheat, multigrain, and French
(crisp crust, open texture) breads, each made according to what's
best for that particular style. Other settings permit rapid
baking and baking sandwich bread with a soft crust. For raisin
(or other dried-fruit) bread, a beeper signals when to add the
fruit so it's not crushed during kneading. Crust color--dark or
light--can be selected as well.
The machine automatically adds yeast at the proper time from a
dispenser on the unit's lid. It also bakes non-yeast, quick
breads-- like banana and gingerbread--and sweet cakes. And it
mixes, kneads, and rises doughs for pizza, focaccia, croissants,
and other pastries without baking them. A timer permits the
machine to be programmed up to 13 hours in advance so fresh bread
or cake is available for breakfast or dinner. For cleanup
convenience, the baking pan is nonstick. Clad in metal and
packing 550 watts of power, the machine measures 14 inches wide,
13.5 inches high, and 9 inches deep. Its instruction booklet is
exceptionally easy to understand and includes recipes for 40
breads and doughs along with an inful guide to baking basics
and illustrated tips for making pastries. --Fred Brack

---------------------
There's nothing quite like the warm aroma of freshly baked
homemade bread from the oven. With the help of this user-friendly

Soft-touch control panel with LCD digital display and 13-hour
preset timer.
Easily Bake Bread or Create Dough
---------------------------------
Bake loaves of white or whole wheat bread for slicing and
slathering with butter and jam or for making sandwiches. Create
croissant or pizza dough for shaping by hand and baking in the
oven. Make the classic fruitcake to serve during the holidays.
From basic recipes to custom creations, the bread machine
produces delicious results--and without the additives and
preservatives found in store-bought brands. A recipe book with
over 50 original bread and dough recipes comes included.
Customizable Settings
---------------------
The unit's top-access, soft-touch, push-button control panel with
an LCD digital display helps ensure easy programming. Choose from
three different loaf sizes (medium, large, or extra large) and
the crust color (light, medium, or dark). It also offers up to
six different types of bread or dough options--Basic, Whole
Wheat, Multi-Grain, French, Pizza, and Cake. Baking modes include
Bake Only (great for fruitcakes, gingerbread, and teacakes);
Rapid Bake (reduces the baking time of basic and whole-wheat
breads); Raisin (offers an audible beep to signal when to add
raisins, dried fruits, or nuts into the dough); and Sandwich
(produces bread with a soft crust). Dough modes include Pizza,
Rolls, and Raisin Dough. Best of all, the appliance comes
equipped with a digital timer, which can be set up to 13 hours in
advance--great for waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread.
Or set the timer before leaving for work in the morning so that a
warm loaf will be ready and waiting after a long day at the
office. Simply slice it up and serve with dinner. Choose from 3
loaf sizes and 3 crust shades from light to dark.
y and tious
----------------------
Baking bread at home allows for ultimate control over the
finished product. By using only the freshest ingredients and
making choices between a variety of options, homemade bread can
be an important part of a well-balanced diet--for both young and
older family members alike. High in fiber and low in , bread
contains a wealth of beneficial components. It provides complex
carbohydrates needed for energy, protein for strong muscles, and
s and minerals, including calcium and iron for y
s and teeth. Add ent-rich eggs to the recipe or choose
whole-grain flour for an extra boost of fiber, iron, s,
and minerals. Mixing in nuts and dried fruits not only add to the
pleasing consistency and taste of the finished product, but
they're also another way to add to the overall factor.
Yeast dispenser automatically adds yeast at optimal time to
ensure perfect results.
Ultimate Convenience
--------------------
Thoughtfully designed, the bread machine also supplies a YeastPro
automatic yeast dispenser. Just add a measured a of yeast
into the holder on the unit's lid, and the machine will
automatically dispense the yeast in with the other ingredients at
the perfect time for optimal results. Even more, the unit's inner
bake pan comes fitted with a wire handle (use an oven mitt when
hot) for easily removing it from the appliance when the bread has
finished baking. The pan's nonstick coating allows baked bread to
slide easily out of the pan onto a cutting board or a wire rack
to fully cool for easier slicing.
Inner bake pan offers built-in handle and nonstick coating for
effortless bread removal.
Unique Design for Professional Results
--------------------------------------
Unlike other bread machines, the unit does not offer a viewing
window. The absence of a viewing window allows a more even
reflection of heat inside the unit, which offers the following
three advantages: excellent crust, good rising, and even color.
The machine also benefits from a unique temperature-control
program that automatically optimizes the temperatures and times
for each stage of the process. Its comprehensive microprocessor
program makes slight adjustments as needed to ensure perfectly
baked bread regardless of conditions like climate and room
temperature.
Panasonic delivers excellent results regardless of different
types of ingredients used, different seasons, and different room
temperatures. In addition to the recipe book, accessories include
a measuring spoon, a measuring cup, and a kneading blade that
fits onto the base of the inner pan for thoroughly mixing
ingredients. Other highlights include a top-loading locking lid,
a handy indicator light to show when the baking or dough cycle
has completed, a safety fuse for peace of mind, and
power-interruption protection that allows the baking process to
resume even when there's an interruption in power for
approximately 10 minutes or less. All parts should be hand washed
only. The small appliance comes in a compact design that fits
neatly on the kitchen countertop. Keep it out for everyday use or
store it on a shelf or in the pantry when finished. Awarded the
Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the 550-watt bread machine
measures 13-3/8 by 9-1/16 by 14 inches, weighs about 15 pounds,
and carries a one-year limited warranty.
