Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker
Customer Review: Don't make 'em like they used to!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this machine to replace my old Regal machine which served me well for 15 years. The new machine is quite similar to the Regal with one HUGE difference... the motor that spins the kneading blade in this machine is pathetic. It can't even handle a simple white flour bread dough without stalling and smelling like overheating parts. I am expecting it to last about a year. How very disappointing.
Description of Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker
Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Bakery with 4 Baking ModesFeatures:
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 insightful guide to baking basics and illustrated tips for making pastries. --Fred Brack
