Criteria for choosing the breadmaker
The first thing to decide is how much bread is baked. In order not to overpay for the volume that is more than necessary, and not to waste energy, calculate how many grams of bread you eat per day.
Which Baker is the Best
How to choose the bread maker depending on the amount of bread required? The calculation is simple, on average for a family of two people there is enough breadmaker, designed for 500g bread, if the family has 3-4 people, it is better to choose 750-1000g.
But here you need to make a reservation - if you take a device designed for 1kg of bread, you can freely bake a 750g roll in it. But if you take a small unit, then you can not bake big bread at all desire.
The next thing you need to pay attention to is the dimensions of the device and the shape of the case. In most cases, manufacturers produce rectangular aggregates - they are more practical in small kitchens, but there are also oval and even round bakeries.

Which bread maker is best to buy depends on the size of the kitchen space - it is clear that for a small kitchen it is better to take a compact model of a rectangular shape.
Here it is necessary to clarify that during operation it is undesirable to move the device or switch it off and switch it to another location. It is better to take care in advance of the convenient place where it will stand, as well as the presence of a nearby electrical outlet.
Molds in the bread maker are made of Teflon, and this material, as you know, does not like sharp objects and rough handling. There are bread makers, which are completed not only with one form, but also two, so you can bake one big bread or two small ones. And some models of bread makers are able to bake even baguettes.

What else is important when choosing? Of course, the power of the device. The more power, the less time is spent preparing fragrant bakery products, but, on the other hand, the consumption of electricity also increases. So decide what is more important for you: speed or additional spending. As for the power, it varies between 400-860W.
Another point that should be paid attention to is more ease of use. We are talking about the design of the bread maker and the presence of such pleasant additions, as Russified display, a viewing window that allows you to monitor the progress of bread preparation, and a dispenser - all sorts of fillings and additives are automatically fed into the dough: nuts, raisins, seeds, candied fruits. In principle, if you understand, these functions are not vital. If the window gets fogged up, then its availability becomes useless, and additives to the bread can be put manually, for this, all you need is to wait for the sounder to sound the alarm.
