SAKI Bread Maker Machine, 3 LB XL 12-in-1 Programmable, BPA-Free & Nonstick Ceramic Pan, Digital Touch Panel, 3 Loaf Sizes, 3 Crust Colors, Gluten-Free, Dough, Jam, Yogurt, Keep Warm, Recipes

Update: I have to say the Saki bread machine has definitely exceeded my expectations after over 7 months of at least twice weekly use. I have used the dough cycle a lot as I like to bake in my Emile Henry large loaf clay baker. I also use it for pizza dough and dough for making rolls. For complaints of how hard it is to put the bread pan back in the machine, there is a very simple way to do this. Look at the two (2) round metal bread pan holders in the base of the bread machine and see the open slotted areas on each round holder. Then look at the underside of your bread pan at the two (2) metal knobs. Rotate each metal knob on the bottom of the bread pan to align with any of the open slotted areas of the two (2) holders in the bottom of the bread machine. Then lower your bread pan into the base of machine, push down until you hear (a click) and feel the bread pan lock in place. Done. This easy technique applies if your pan is out and you have already filled it with your recipe to put back in the bread machine to bake or for putting it back in machine after washing bread pan. It may take you several attempts to get it right but then you'll be a whiz at inserting your bread pan every time. This machine is a workhorse with its 850 watt torque motor and is able to easily tackle any recioe for a 3 lb loaf of bread. Take the time to learn your Saki machine, experiment with any bread recipe out there and enjoy it! I also ordered an extra bread pan and another set of paddles. I believe the Saki will give many many years of service. This is my second breadmaker and so far I love everything about the "Saki". Initially, I thought of going with the Zojirushi bread machine but the Saki ticks all the boxes for me. Love the smaller footprint than the Zojirushi, love the large digital display that is easy to see and operate, great recipe book and manual included, no sticking at all with the ceramic bread pan and the ceramic double kneading paddles. The Saki is extremely quiet w/ the 850 watt high torque motor which is a big plus and I haven't noticed any movement at all during the kneading process. Love the loaf size options, color of crust, etc. I've had no problem having to unplug machine to turn off as some have noted. The instructions are in the manual. I used the medium color crust on this first loaf, but since have used the light crust which we prefer. I always take out the kneading paddles when the last rise is completed before the baking cycle starts. No need to remove dough, just lift up one end, remove paddle, then lift up other end and remove 2nd paddle, then close lid and cycle will resume. No big bread paddle tears in your bread, just 2 tiny post holes on bottom of the bread loaf. I have made several different types of bread so far and am extremely pleased with each. Look forward to trying the jam, yogurt and cake recipes as well. The Saki is a winner in my book.

I've made 2 loaves so far with this machine and it has worked excellently. I make breads with atypical flours and they have come out well. I haven't noticed many of the issues the other reviews have. The final decision was between the KBS and this unit (Saki). I wanted a ceramic lined bread bucket not Teflon and these were the only 2 viable units for me. The KBS was a little too small for what I thought I would need. The Saki allows for much larger loaves and also has the elongated bread bucket making more of a loaf and less of a block. The last decision point was that Saki is a US-based company and KBS is based out of China. I prefer to buy as close to home as possible even though both are manufactured in China. The dual-paddle bucket works surprisingly well, it really kneads the dough. The paddles DO stick to the bucket shafts after baking and I suspect wiping them down with a film of avocado or olive oil prior to adding ingredients will solve that problem. The bread was a little difficult to get out of the bucket but I purchased a silicone spatula specifically to wedge the bread out. Also, oiling the shafts would have helped. I'm sure in time I will figure the technique out better. As for longevity I can't say. My last bread maker was purchased in 1995 and still ran great. Hopefully this unit will too. Two year warranty if the unit is registered. Also a GREAT little recipe book came with the unit. Even though it doesn't cover my specific flours, I can add the spices and such from book. Happy with purchase so far.

This is a nice machine for someone who does not bake to much. Works wonderfully following the recipe book. I would like to experiment with seasonings for some of the recipes.

The Saki Bread Machine seems well built and sturdy. The included recipe book is good. However, there appears to be a serious design defect. When I began making wheat bread (a heavier and more elastic dough), a paddle would often become loose and lodge under the other, thus stalling the machine and scratching the pan. The result was inadequate kneading and a ruined bread. I exchanged emails with Saki on this without a resolution. I regret the purchase.

I've been using bread machines since the first DAK "R2D2" models, and make a couple loaves every week. So, here are some pros, cons, and thoughts: PROS: dual paddle, makes big (2-3 pound), "traditional" sized and shaped loaves, is easy to use, has plenty of options and functions (I'll probably never use the yogurt or jelly cycles, but I love that it has a bake cycle), costs 1/2 that of the low-end Zojirushi (but has a lot of the same functionality), and it is attractive on the countertop. CONS: the machine exterior has sheet metal which gets very hot, meaning you need pot holders for both hands just to extract the bread; getting the pan in and out is finicky, and the ends of the wire handle scratches the interior (see second image); a Very Thin guide book (if you are inexperienced, there are plenty of bread machine cookbooks out there); no volume control for the Very Loud button-press beeps. QUIRK: unlike other machines I've owned, the knead cycles on and off for most of the first hour or so (most machines I've owned -- perhaps based on older, limited logic boards -- do a single continuous knead for 20 minutes, then a punch-down and a shaping), but the resulting bread seems to have good gluten development, so it isn't bad, it's just not what I'm used to; the icon-only touch screen interface takes some getting used to. HINT: pausing or stopping takes a 3-second press on the program button, THEN press the Pause/Stop button for 3 seconds (Pause) and longer (to stop) -- I found that somewhere on their website, but not in the guide booklet. WISH FOR FUTURE MODELS: please make that a functional clock on the front.

Es la primera vez que tengo una máquina para hacer pan y la verdad no se porque no compre una antes, pero en fin, no hay como agregar los ingredientes siguiendo la receta, seguir unos breves pasos y listo, la calidad- precio es excelente aunque solo creo que el recetario se queda corto, estoy segura le puedo sacar muchísimo más provecho, soy de las que ve y lee todas las reseñas antes de comprar y comparar costos/beneficios y la Saki mega supero mis expectativas, si estás pensando adquirir una máquina no lo pienses está es la indicada. Espero tener esta máquina por mucho tiempo. Última foto pan yogurt y mermelada sin azúcar echo con Saki, todo un desayuno saludable 😊

J'ai acheté cette machine à pain pour faire essentiellement du pain sans gluten toutes les 2 semaines environ. La machine fonctionne parfaitement, elle vient avec un livret de recette bien fait, un ustensil de mesure et un outil pour aider à enlever les mélangeurs du pain lorsque le pain est cuit. Le tout est d'excellente qualité. Peu de bruit. Le pain se décolle facilement de la cuve. La machine est facile à nettoyer, je la nettoie à la main pour éviter tout risque de dégradation au lave vaisselle.

Es muy fácil hacer pan, masas para pizzas o pan de masa madre, adicional cuenta con un recetario (está en inglés) con el cual puedes hacer recetas a tu gusto. Tiene tres tamaños de pan, en los tres la cocción es perfecta. El panel es digital y es muy fácil de usar. Tengo ya un par de años con ella y sigue funcionando muy bien. Su uso es muy frecuente ya que hago pan y masas para pizzas de dos a 3 veces por semana.

J’aime faire du pain avec mon four à pain il a une fonction pour pétrirent seulement et je met le pain au four pour la cuisson, c’est comme le pétrirent à la main.

Cet appareil n, est pas très bruyant
