Gastroback Breadmaker

Gastroback Breadmaker

Last year during the pandemic I sold an incredible amount of bread maker machines and spares and accessories for them. People stuck at home took the opportunity to dig out the machines and get them working. Perhaps like me usually only using it over the Christmas period but being locked down with nothing much else to do it was a good time to experiment.

Although Panasonic is the market leader in bread machines, we have been using for over 10 years a LG model that I took home to try to see how it compared to Panasonic. Up until recently it behaved well although I only used it for a week over the Christmas period when I had family staying with us.

I was almost waiting for an excuse to upgrade and after several failed loaves in a row so I decided to try the Gastroback version. 

Called the Gastroback ’Design’ bread maker, the machine looks well-made. Gastroback is a German company who are producing an increasing number of small home appliances some of which I will stock and sell on Kitchenwareonline.com.

The machine will make up to a 1Kg loaf which is quite big. It is possible with some attachments to also make ice cream, yoghurt, and jam. 

The machine has an easy to read and understand blue LCD display which includes a timer so that you can set the machine to finish its magic and wake you up with that tantalizing fresh baked bread smell in the morning. 

Although I do make bread using separate ingredients, I do buy the supermarket's own bread mix for ease. All you need is to add the contents to the pan with some water and switch the bread maker on.
 

So far, I have done this twice and the results have been perfect. There is even a setting to increase the crustiness at the press of a button, that too worked a treat. The machine is bigger on the inside but takes up the same space in the cupboard at home as the old LG but so far has not had a chance to get put away. I totally recommend the Gastroback Design bread maker and have it in stock ready for dispatch.
