Maybe you have thought about getting a bread making machine, just to be able to have home-baked bread more often. But the thought of lugging around and storing a big box put you off the idea. The Home Baker Mini Breadmaker from Zojirushi is a little space-saver that might just change your mind. Not only does it do all the kneading and baking, it also makes home made jam. And it is just 8 ½ by 11 by 12 inches.
The Home Bakery Mini Breadmaker's 1 lb. loaf is the perfect size for smaller households to savor the taste of freshly baked bread everyday without waste. Its compact design also makes it ideal for kitchens with limited countertop space. Select from three bread textures (Regular, Firm or Soft). It also prepares dough, cakes, jam, cookie and pasta dough and has a sturdy handle for easy carrying and a user friendly easy-to-read LCD control panel.
Simply have the ingredients on hand and the next time you have a hankering for home-made bread, just get baking.
Here is a little power house to help you cook rice and other foods perfectly and without you being a helicopter cook---hovering to make sure everything is okay. Zojirushi’s Rice Cooker and Warmer has settings for white rice, brown rice, semibrown rice, mixed, sushi rice, porridge. (Detailed instructions help walk you through what setting to use for what.)
The cooker features advanced Neuro Fuzzy® logic technology, which allows the rice cooker to 'think' for itself and make fine adjustments to temperature and heating times to cook perfect rice every time. The spherical inner cooking pan and heating system allows the heat to distribute evenly and cook rice the way you want it. Other features include automatic keep warm, extra large LCD display, clock and timer function, detachable inner lid and stay cool side handles.
It plays one charming melody when the cooking has started and another when cooking is done. (You can change it to the usual beep, if you prefer.)
Zojirushi also makes a fine bread machine (you can make homemade bread!). The new model is smaller and sits horizontally on the counter and has two bread kneading paddles. We know someone who has been using a Zojirushi bread machine that is more than ten years old and discontinued and it still makes a perfect loaf.
We love short cuts that will give us the full results we want.
