Toastmaster Bread Maker, 1.5 Pound Capacity

Comment: Here is the model of bread machine I bought for a fraction of the sticker price it sells on Amazon.
If you look around you may find a toastmaster on sale.
Toastmaster TBR20 Bread Machine

The TBR20H is a fully automatic bread making machine that can bake 1, 1.5, or 2 lb loaves of white, wheat, or speciality bread in a couple of hours. It also comes with a fast bake option so you can enjoy your bread in just under one hour. Exactly like the TBR15, there are 8 programs: you just choose a loaf size and crust color (light, medium, or dark). The touchpad and digital readout are easy to follow and use. There is also a digital clock/timer with up and down arrows to let you program the delay timer to begin up to 13 hours later. It retails from upwards of $50

Comment: I bought this machine for my daughter. She loves this machine! I tried it myself while visiting her. I made four batches of bread! We just kept eating it! I let the machine make the dough and then I removed the dough to make rolls. YUM! I recommend it heartily.

Comment: I received my bread maker in the promised time and it was packed very well with no damage to the carton.

This is my second Toastmaster Bread Maker. My original one was an old style vertical loaf but the bread was excellent and the bread maker lasted for several years. I sometimes used it as often as 5 times a week. That influenced me to purchase another Toastmaster. I have had it for 4 weeks and have used it several times. The one thing I do not like is that the recipes in the new book do not turn out well for me. The bread is coarse-textured and the taste just is not right. I then tried the recipes from my old Toastmaster and they are excellent, just as they were in the old bread maker. Because of the horizontal loaf shape and only one paddle for mixing, I have discovered that the flour is cleaned from the sides of the pan better by using a teaspoon or two extra of water to make the dough just a little more sticky than was needed with the old bread maker. The loaf is also more rounded and smooth on top.

I would purchase this product again.

Comment: The box had been opened, there were no directions in the box and the breadmaker did not work. We are fulltime RVers and we were getting ready to leave Calif. and we had to deal with a product which was totally worthless and a huge waste of time....I ended up buying one used at the thrift store for $10, and it had the directions in it!!!

Comment: This is one appliance that does not just take up space on the countertop. It has battery backup and will start up where it left off when unplugged. I make a fresh loaf of whole wheat bread in it daily, and have made cranberry nut and lemon poppyseed bread, with perfect results. These quick breads bake more evenly in the bread machine than in the conventional oven. I've also made pizza dough with better results than by hand, I think due to the fact that the baking environment inside the machine is always just right. This is a great machine, easy to use and makes breadmaking simple. I think the crust comes out too dark even when set for a light crust, so I stop the bake cycle early. I highly recommend this breadmaker.
