Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Bread Machine
The Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Bread Machine is more than just a standard machine that will churn out ordinary bread. It will make not only an endless variety of bread and cake, but will also function as an oven as well. That means you can make fresh homemade bread one night and a delicious pan of lasagna the next.
Retailing around $250 right now, what exactly does the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 bread maker offer that justifies the higher price tag?
The BCC-X20 Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme Breadmaker comes with all the standard features of a modern bread maker. It will hold warm after the baking cycle is over and comes with a 13 hour delayed timer. This ensures that your bread will start baking whenever you want it to, putting it hot and ready whenever you are ready to eat. There is nothing like sitting down to dinner knowing fresh, piping hot bread and butter are waiting for you.
Basic features also include a nice sized viewing window to monitor the progress of whatever you are making on any given day, and 3 options for the darkness of the crust. On the quick bake cycle it will prepare a full 2 pound loaf of bread in just 2 hours. That cuts hours off the regular baking time, though it is by far not the fastest on the market right now.
So, what are the special features that the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Home Bakery Supreme Bread Machine has to offer? For most consumers, it all comes down to the unique sourdough starter function.
Preparing a sourdough starter usually takes well over a week, but with the Zojirushi bread machine it can be done within 2 hours. This is a feature you will not find on a standard bread machine, especially in the lower price ranges. That is why this feature alone sells a lot of machines each year.
The dual kneading paddles are also very unique. They ensure that your bread is properly mixed and distributed, delivering a better baked loaf every time. Also, unit bakes horizontal loaves that actually look like real loaves of bread. This is a huge step up from loaves that have to be turned at odd angles to be cut, which is so common with lower priced models.
Also, many people will use the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Bread Machine just to prepare the dough. This way they have the hardest part of the process done accurate for them (rising of the dough can be tricky) and they still get to shape it by hand and bake it in the oven. Others simply use it as an oven in between bread making cycles.
