Description

Get performance like you've never seen from a breadmaker. A revolutionary heating element built into our Home Bakery Virtuoso Breadmaker changes the way you can bake bread at home. With perfectly browned crust every time, anyone can be a master baker. From novice to expert, now any home baker can take advantage of our most technologically advanced breadmaker, loaded with menu settings and options for the ultimate in versatility. For a basic bread recipe, simply add in measured ingredients, close the lid, make a selection from the user-friendly LCD control panel, and the Home Bakery Supreme takes care of the rest--baking up a rectangular-shaped 2-pound loaf of bread to perfection. Choose from three crust shades--light, medium, or dark--and from various healthy course settings, such as multigrain, whole wheat, rapid whole wheat, gluten free, salt free, and vegan. Best of all, the machine's timer can be set to delay the end of the baking cycle by up to 13 hours, which makes it possible to wake up to the smell of freshly baked, homemade bread in the morning or to come home to a warm loaf at the end of a long day at the office. The bread maker provides two blades for thorough dough kneading and a higher rise, a large viewing window, an "on" indicator light, a start/reset button, and a removable nonstick bread pan for easy cleaning. Accessories include a liquid measuring cup, nested measuring cups, and a measuring spoon. Instruction manual and recipe book also included.

  • Sandwich Bread Heaven (and more!)
Pattern Name: Breadmaker Style: Virtuoso
After trying and returning 2 other bread machines (Hamilton Beach 29881 and West Bend 41300) I dug in and did some heavy research. Here's what I found. The HB and WB machines both bake at what I consider an unacceptably high temperature. The West Bend's stated temp for a light crust on the Sandwich setting (which is supposed to bake softer bread) is 320ºF. In a small chamber with a thin pan, that is way too high, resulting in a crust that is much too crunchy and thick, and over-baked, dry bread. Not at all a "sandwich" loaf. Removing the bread 15 minutes early still resulted in an internal temperature of 205ºF. I had exactly the same problems with the HB, same timing and temperature. This would be okay if I wanted hearty, crusty bread, but I want a bread machine primarily to bake soft whole wheat or white sandwich bread, with a tender crust and moist crumb. And I want "set and forget" timing, without the need to set a timer to stop the baking cycle early. I want nice even, pretty loaves without monster size paddle holes (both failed here), and no beepers going off to wake me up in the middle of the night (another fail for both). Enter the Zo Virtuoso. Here's why I love it: It bakes at 248ºF to 305ºF, depending on course and crust. Excellent for soft sandwich bread. And fewer sunken loaves from too much oven spring. It's loaf pan is a classically shaped pan, not the weird hybrid "horizontal" pan that many machines have. Those pans give a really tall, shorter loaf. It also appears to be heavier than other pans. The upright handles are a nice feature, too. It's paddles leave really small holes, and don't get stuck in the bread. This makes it a true "Set and Forget" machine because I don't have to set a timer to remind me to remove the paddles before the last rise. Oiling the paddle posts and paddle holes makes it easy to remove them with a brief soak when I wash the pan. When I'm going to be home for the full cycle and want almost no hole at all, I set a kitchen timer to beep right before the 3rd rise begins. I remove the dough and paddles, re-oil the paddle post, shape the loaf and drop it back into the pan without the paddles. It bakes up with a perfect shape and tiny little holes. Aligning the paddles before adding ingredients to the pan makes my loaves rise and bake evenly. No lopsided loaves. It knows how to tell time. There's no need to figure out how many hours & minutes to add for the Delay Timer. I tell it what time I want bread, and that's when I have bread. The "add stuff now" beeper is disabled when using the Timer. I can sleep through the night. The upper baking element gives me loaves with lovely golden crowns, instead of the pale tops from most machines. My USA Pan loaf pans fit into the baking chamber. Nice when I want a loaf without any holes at all for guests. I find the manual is very clear and easy to read, with gram weights alongside the volume amounts for all recipes. No need to convert and calculate. Per Zojirushi, opening the lid will indefinitely pause any program, allowing me to extend the rise time or take as long as I want to shape a loaf. This will come in handy when I want to make Monkey Bread in the Zo's pan. I've made many white and wheat sandwich loaves, and cinnamon raisin bread (from the manual). All have been delicious, not a dry, over-baked loaf in the bunch. I've perfected White Sandwich Bread by modifying the recipe in the manual so that it bakes soft and fluffy, but full of flavor. For a 1.5-lb loaf I use: 1 cup water (8oz), 3 Tbls dry milk, 3 Tbls honey, 2 Tbls butter (unsalted, room temp), 1tsp table salt, 375 grams bread flour (3 cups), 1 Tbls vital wheat gluten, 1 Tbls KAF Instant Sourdough flavor, 1.5 tsp SAF yeast. Use the Basic course. I prefer the Light crust setting. The addition of sourdough flavor not only enhances flavor (it will not make your bread taste like sourdough bread), it also helps preserve the bread because it contains vinegar. For a Light Wheat Sandwich Bread with the same character, I use 10 oz water, 2Tbls dry milk, 2 Tbls honey, 1.5 Tbls butter, 1 tsp salt, 241 grams bread flour (2 cups) and 149 grams whole wheat flour (1 cup), 1 Tbls vital wheat gluten and 1.5 tsp SAF yeast. Use the Basic course and Medium crust setting. The Light Wheat Bread is modified from the recipe of the same name found on food.com. My only quibble, and it's really minor, is that it's not as whisper quiet as the HB and WB machines were. They were REALLY quiet. The Zo sounds like you'd expect a bread machine to sound. It can thump a bit when it first begins mixing, but soon settles into a nice, quiet knead cycle. The thumps aren't loud at all, they're just unique to the Zo. Like I said, a minor quibble. And the other machines beep when using the delay timer. My kitchen is near my bedroom. I can sleep through the Zo's mixing, but not those timers. If you only want a bread machine to make dough that you'll then bake off in your oven, consider the Hamilton Beach or another inexpensive machine. You do not need to spend a lot. But if you want to bake gorgeous bread in your bread machine and not have to mess about with timing and beepers in the middle of the night and paddle removal issues, if you don't want to have to babysit your bread machine, IMO the Zo Virtuoso is the clear choice and worth every penny of it's price. It gives excellent results, and that upper baking element sets it above the rest of the Zo/Breville pack. UPDATE - It's now the end of April and temps here in Tampa are solidly at 85-90ºF most days. I like the Zo even more in hot weather than in winter. It doesn't heat up my kitchen, and I can cook some things in it without sweating over a hot pan. Last night I made Sloppy Joes. Throw everything (use your own recipe) into the pan in no particular order with no need to brown the beef or onions, select JAM and let 'er rip! If it needs a little thickening (cooked in a closed system means no moisture loss), add a cornstarch or flour slurry at the end of the cycle and give it a stir while you toast the buns. Also, monkey bread is the bomb. And really easy. Make the dough in the Zo. When it's ready, shape into balls, roll them in the sugar/cinnamon mix, then pour your caramel and nuts into the pan, dump the dough balls in, and continue to bake. There's no need to use the dough and cake programs (although you could), I did it on the Basic program. Stupendous! Next week, risotto! 1-Yr Update - Still going strong, making a loaf of bread every week. Last summer our 4 grandsons stayed with us for the whole summer and I used it every other day for their favorite white bread. I thought my paddles were getting loose so ordered another pair. Turns out I'd forgotten how much play there is in them. The original pair is just fine. I routinely remove the loaf for final gentle shaping and rise, remove the paddles and stick the dough back in the machine. My loaves are perfect every time. Basic cycle, light crust timing for this is 1:04 with rest off, 1:35 with rest on on a kitchen timer. When the timer buzzes, open the lid of the Zo and proceed with paddle removal and final shaping. When you replace the pan and close the lid, the program will proceed to the 3rd rise and bake. If you misjudge timing a little and open the lid before the punch down, it won't matter, because the spindles (provided you added a little oil to them before dropping the shaped dough in the pan) will spin around without disturbing your dough. 2-yr update - For New Years day I need some cranberry sauce and had way too much to do, so I dumped everything into the Zo and set if for the Jam cycle. Perfect cranberry sauce without needing to monitor it on the stove. I'll be making it the same way this Thanksgiving. ... show more

  • a WOW of a bread machine ------- STILL
Pattern Name: Breadmaker Style: Virtuoso
WHEN I WENT TO REVIEW THE CURRENT ZOJIRUSHI I JUST RECEIVED, THE OLD REVIEW FOR THE FIRST ONE CAME UP AND SAID TO EDIT INSTEAD. SO THIS REVIEW IS FOR THIS SECOND ONE I JUST BOUGHT AND THAT TELL YOU ALOT IF THIS IS A GOOD MACHINE AND IF I LIKE IT. DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE CHANGED MUCH, THE BOOKLET HAS MANY MORE RECIPES. MANY MANY YEARS AGO, I HAD BOUGHT A HITACHI, WHEN THE BREAD MACHINES FIRST BECAME MORE AVAILABLE TO THE HOME BUYER. LITERALLY, USED IT TO DEATH. WHEN STARTED TO BUY ANOTHER, IMAGINE MY SURPRISE TO FIND THEY WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. WHILE REVIEWING THOSE THAT WERE THEN ON THE MARKET, FIRST ENCOUNTERED THE ZOJIRUSHI. WHEN LEARNED THAT IT WAS THE NUMBER ONE BREAD MACHINE BEING USED IN KING ARTHUR KITCHENS THEN, DECIDED THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND DECIDED TO BUY THE FIRST VIRTUOSO. USED IT OFTEN FOR YEARS AND WHEN MOVED, IT WAS MISTAKENLY PUT INTO STORAGE. WAS UNABLE TO GO BACK AND GET OUT, AND SO AT THAT TIME, BOUGHT A MINI ZOJIRUSHI TO USE UNTIL STORAGE ITEMS CAME. THE MINI ONLY MAKES A 1 LB LOAF. WHEN THE BIG ONE FINALLY ARRIVED, GAVE IT TO MY SON AS WAS USED TO THE MINI BY THEN. RECENTLY, STARTED TO WANT THE LARGER LOAVES AGAIN, SO BOUGHT ANOTHER 2 LB ZOJIRUSHI. LOVE IT AND THE EASE OF MAKING THE BREAD COMPLETELY IN THE MACHINE IS NEEDED. SEEMS LITTLE CHANGED AND WOULD DEFINITELY BUY AGAIN IF NEEDED. HOPE THIS ONE LAST FOR MANY YEARS AND DO NOT SEE BUYING AGAIN FOR QUITE A WHILE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE BREAD MACHINE TO ANYONE THAT HAS NOT TRIED THIS BRAND. ALSO HAVE A ZOJIRUSHI RICE COOKER, BOUGHT LAST YEAR, AND USE IT FREQUENTLY FOR MORE THAN JUST RICE. HAVE COME TO DEPEND ON STEAMING EGGS EASILY IN THE RICE COOKER; STEAMING VEGGIES. AND AGAIN, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BRAND. HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS, WHAT SO EVER, WITH THE NOW FOUR ZOJIRUSHI APPLIANCES. LOVE THEM. FOLLOWING REVIEW FOR THE FIRST ZOJIRUSHI BOUGHT SOME YEARS AGO: Just baked my first loaf of bread in this new machine and I am happily surprised. I have used an old Hitachi since bread machines first came out years ago and until now it was the only one I have ever had. And I absolutely loved it with no qualifications. However, the old casing was cracking from all the use and the motor was beginning to struggle with larger loaves so decided it was time to replace the old faithful friend. Would gladly have replaced it with another Hitachi if they were still being produced. Was apprehensive about choosing another brand and did a lot of research before finally settling on this Virtuoso by Zojirushi. After reading all the reviews here on Amazon and the fact that King Arthur Flours have a dozen in their test kitchens, decided to try this one. Read the manual and watched the very informative DVD that comes with it, and decided for the first time, I wanted to test it's abilities. So instead of choosing one of the manual's own recipes, I tried one of my tried and true recipes that I have developed thru the long years of use with the Hitachi, figured that was the one way I would know how it truly compared to my old Hitachi. For this first time, I choose to use the preset Basic Bread settings of Rise, Knead and Bake, thinking I could adjust those later after judging how these worked. My recipe has little resemblance to the Zojirushi Basic Bread Recipe, utilizing different amounts of flour, water, etc. It also includes potatoe flour, dry milk, eggs, and a lot of herbs, including even 2 teaspoons of black pepper blend. I also use 1/2 teas of vital wheat gluten and 1/2 teas of diastatic malt powder. I used the dark crust setting. The bread was great with a high rise that came to within 1/4 inch of the lid and had me a little concerned at the time, but it turned out superior. The three kneadings did the job nicely, altho in the future when I make artisan breads I will use the memory settings to increase the kneading time. I kept watching the crust brown as I was concerned it may not get as dark as I like because of several reviewers saying their crust was inadaquately browned. Mine came out perfect for me on the dark setting, which I will always be using. In the past with the old machine, I had resorted to just making the dough in the machine and then, baking the bread in my oven. And this is what I planned on doing with the new one, but with the great baking in the machine, I can see that when time is short, I will be resorting to also baking the bread in this machine. One feature that this machine has that my old one did not, that I really like, is that in the first cycle, it stabilizes and warms all the ingredients, whereas in the past, I needed to warm the water and if using fresh milk, had to warm it also. This step has been eliminated with the new machine. Less dirty dishes, and more time for me to concentrate on other things. Overall, my first loaf with this new machine came out very acceptable with a great rise, a nicely browned crust and a great crumb and the flavor was awesome with just the right amount of yeast taste. Yes, I am very pleased with it and will definitely recommend it to friends and all. UP DATE SEPT 25, 2016: IT IS OVER THREE YEARS I HAVE OWNED AND USED THIS MACHINE CONSTANTLY, WITH NUTS, SEEDS, ETC. ONLY TODAY HAVE I NOTICED ANY WEAR ON THE PADDLES. WILL BE REPLACING THOSE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE. BUT WITH ALL THE CONSTANT, HEAVY USAGE, I DO NOT FIND THAT THIS IS A REASON FOR NOT BUYING ANOTHER ZO SHOULD THIS ONE NEED REPLACING. HAVE READ THE REVIEWS FOR THIS AND FOR THE BREVILLE, INCLUDING A MARVELOUS COMPARISON OF THE TWO BY ANOTHER REVIEWER, AND I TOO FIND THAT THIS MACHINE IS A BETTER CHOICE FOR AT LEAST ME. I COULD NOT HANDLE A TOO HOT MACHINE WITH DIFFICULT HANDLES IN REMOVABLE OF THE HOT BREAD PAN. wITH MY ZO I HAVE NONE OF THOSE PROBLEMS TO WORRY ABOUT. THIS HAS BEEN A MOST RELIABLE MACHINE FROM DAY ONE, NO BUYING MULTIPLES TO GET A GOOD ONE. COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE ... show more
