Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Toastmaster Bread Maker, 1.5 Pound Capacity

Customer Review: Decent Bread Machine
Summary: 4 Stars

I've had the Toastmaster TBR20H bread machine for about a year now. It's very compact compared to other bread machines. It is 12.6" W x 11.4" D x 11.6" H, which is great, if you don't have a lot of counter space. This was an important consideration for me in buying this product. So was price. I paid about $50 at the time.

The machine is very easy to use. Just measure and dump the ingredients into the baking pan in the recommended order, select your baking setting (basic, fast bake, french, whole wheat, sweet, quick, dough or "bake only"), select your loaf size (1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 lbs), select your crust color (light, medium or dark), and press start. (Some of the loaf & crust options are not available on certain bake settings.) Lots of recipes in the manual.

Fast bake takes about 1 hour. The basic, french, whole wheat and sweet bake settings take anywhere from 3 to 4 hours. The quick breads take 1.5 hours, the dough setting is 1.3 hours (plus shaping and baking time) and the "bake only" setting is for baking dough from other sources.

I'm afraid I don't use my bread machine as much as I had envisioned, but it does a decent job when I do. I probably use the fast bake setting the most, since it only takes an hour to bake, but I've also had success with the basic, french and dough settings. I use whole wheat flour under all these settings, so I've never bothered with the whole wheat setting. The others I haven't tried yet. The fast bake loaf does bake less evenly than loaves baked using the other settings I've tried, but I love having fresh baked bread in only one hour.

I'm rating this machine 4 stars because of the lid. It's okay, but a little flimsy. It's fallen off a couple of times, when I was removing the hot pan from the machine. On the other hand, it hasn't in any way affected it's baking quality of future loaves.
