The network voltage at which it can operate is 220-240V and 50 Hz. The Redmond 1908 bread machine also has reliable protection against electric shock, belonging to class I.

The description for the unit notes the volume of the mold for flour products, equal to two liters. The weight of the resulting baked goods varies around 500-750 g. The type of control of the household appliance is electronic with a monochrome LCD display. The device's volatile memory is ten minutes.

The product is made of durable high-quality plastic. The baking tray has a non-stick coating. The dimensions of the unit are 268x228x280 mm, the weight of the bread machine is 3.3 kg. The length of the electrical wire is 1.2 m.

Kitchen software

The Redmond 1908 bread machine allows you to get delicious and aromatic baked goods. The software overview will highlight 19 main operating programs. First of all, this is the “Classic Bread” mode, created for baking regular bread, without additives. The program consists of kneading, proofing and the main baking process. The “French Bread” program works using a similar technology, only kneading here takes longer. A similar workflow is observed in the “Bread”, “Cake”, “Bread with Additives”, “Borodinsky Bread”, “Gluten-Free Bread” and “Rye Bread” modes. In these cases, it is possible to choose the weight of the product and the shade of the crust.

The Express mode speeds up the cooking of wheat bread. Here, per 750 g, you need to add an additional third of a teaspoon of yeast. The work process, as in previous cases, is divided into kneading with heating of the dough, then it is proofed and baked.

The Whole Grain Bread program takes longer to bake than other baked goods. The flour used in this product is heavier, so the bread maker heats the components before the main batch. The bread itself is smaller in weight than the classic bread, but has a denser structure.

There are “Desserts”, “Milk porridge”, “Soup”, “Stewing” modes and a “Yoghurt” operating mode, which allows you to prepare different types of dairy products. The Jam program is useful when making jam, topping or marmalade. You can use it to prepare seasonings. The “Yeast-free dough” and “Yeast dough” programs knead the dough and proof it without baking the product. There is a function to delay the baking process. The “Baking” program is used to prepare products from ready-made dough. There are no proofing or kneading stages here. It is possible to regulate the cooking time.

Review of popular models

The Redmond company is famous for its good production performance, which is necessary to maintain a high position in the market. Today, sales departments can offer more than 20 different models of Redmond bread machines, while the company does not stop at the achieved milestones and continues to develop its model range. The following is a brief overview of the most popular Redmond bread machine models, with all their advantages and disadvantages.

Redmond-1905

The Redmond-1905 model is a typical representative of budget devices for a small family (this is due to the maximum weight of baked goods - 0.9 kg). In the Redmond-1905 bread machine, products are manufactured in a completely sealed bowl with carefully distributed heating, which leads to the preservation of the necessary vitamins and mineral ingredients. Stable temperature and confined space are the main conditions for preparing the perfect dough.

Good equipment for this price:

• measuring spoon;
• two blades with non-stick coating;
• beaker;
• hook for removing the blade;
• user manual;
• book of recipes.

The original design of the kneading blade allows you to quickly obtain the desired result, and the non-stick coating makes cleaning the device after completion of work a very easy procedure.

The compactness of the Redmond-1905 bread machine is captivating, which allows it to be installed in almost any kitchen.

In addition to bread, it is suitable for cooking meat and fish; the stewing program works great. To make bread, it is not necessary to use special mixtures; everything works well from ordinary flour. A minor drawback is the lack of a French baguette shape, but this is a privilege of more expensive models.

Redmond-1908

This device is also one of the most budget-friendly, but its energy consumption is minimal. The Redmond-1908 model bread maker has a wide range of functions. In addition to traditional baking of bread and pastries, she easily prepares side dishes, porridges, confitures, and yoghurts. The presence of 19 automatic settings provides unlimited possibilities for the consumer’s imagination.

The bowl for this Redmond bread machine is made of the latest Whitord non-stick composition, which is completely safe to use. This material is characterized by long-term use and resistance to chemically active detergents. The products do not stick to this surface and have a good crispy crust.

Consumers speak well of the layout of this model, where everything is located very conveniently.

Quite a convenient push-button control panel: each function has its own button with names written in Russian. A side vent for steam to escape works well to prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Bread machine Redmond-1908

There are also disadvantages: the bread maker is completely intolerant of the slightest tolerances in dosages. An error of 30 grams is enough. - and the result of baking may end up in the trash. Therefore, it is necessary to spend money on purchasing kitchen scales to strictly adhere to the recipe. The degree of baking of the product does not always satisfy the consumer. Even when choosing a program with the darkest crust, the bread is not always baked well. The solution is additional cooking time (about 30 minutes) after the standard end of baking.

Redmond-1911

This bread maker is made in a fashionable metal case with black edging. An additional viewing window is provided, thanks to which you can control the production of any product. A very convenient option for keeping the cooked product warm. It is possible to stew meat and fish with vegetables. In addition to the standard set of baked goods, it is possible to make biscuits.

Redmond-1911 can produce a product weighing up to 1 kg, which is suitable for an average-sized family of 4-5 people.

A modern display helps in cooking, displaying control information at each stage of cooking. They captivate with their ease and simplicity of the program for preparing soup and porridge, plus the fact that burning of the product is completely excluded.

High weight can hardly be considered a significant disadvantage, since it is determined by the mass of the bread being baked. However, Redmond-1911 does not always give the effect of completely baking the product within the allotted time. To achieve a full result, you must either reduce the amount of water in the recipe by 10 grams, or increase the baking time by an hour.

Redmond-1919

Redmond-1919 is one of the most sophisticated premium kitchen products in design. The noble metal body gives the product discreet chic. A bread maker with such an appearance will be a decoration for any newfangled kitchen. Exquisite design thought is visible in all contours of the body. In addition to design, this model has other advantages:

1. Ceramic baking bowl coating is one of the innovative solutions in this area.
2. The “multi-baker” function in Redmond-1919 makes it possible to prepare dough products according to completely arbitrary recipes, while at the same time choosing your own cooking time at each stage.
3. The delayed start option has a gradation of 10 minutes, which is very convenient for accurately recording the end time of work.
4. 25 built-in programs in Redmond-1919 allow you to experiment with any type of test.
5. The special profile of the dough kneading blades allows you to mix all the ingredients efficiently.
6. The power cord is long enough to choose the optimal place in the kitchen to place the Redmond-1919.
7. The control panel is intuitive, and large buttons make it much easier to operate, but there is no locking mode to prevent accidental finger contact during operation, which could lead to an emergency stop.

However, there were some shortcomings. The black, glossy top panel looks very impressive, but fingerprints remain on its surface when used. The plastic fastenings of the top cover are not very reliable and can become loose quite quickly. The control display could use a good backlight, since its own contrast is clearly not enough. Well, the choice of tones for sound notifications is extremely surprising; they would be more suitable for an alarm clock: very sharp and loud.

Bread maker REDMOND RBM-M1919

Redmond RMC-M70

This model is designed as a multicooker with a bread maker function. It must be emphasized right away that the model is quite expensive, but all modern innovations have found their application in it. The volume of up to 5 liters is ready to satisfy the appetites of the largest family, the metal body guarantees durability and reliability, and the modern ceramic coating makes it easy to clean after finishing work.

The presence of a steamer function allows you to cook almost anything. Built-in programs can turn any beginner into a professional chef. In addition to the standard set, the package includes a spoon-scoop, a flat spatula and a deep fryer basket. After cooking, any dish can be kept hot for up to 24 hours.

Considering that this device replaces at least four kitchen appliances, the space saving in the kitchen is quite significant.

Caring for the device is as simple as possible; you can use a dishwasher. It is possible to purchase additional accessories. With such powerful functionality, this machine is the ideal cooking assistant for a large family with the most demanding needs.

Control panel and display

The Redmond RBM 1908 bread maker (reviews from many people say that bread baked with this unit has a special taste and crispy crust) has a solid body, an electronic control panel, and a removable lid with an inspection hole. There is a heating chamber into which the mold for preparing flour products is inserted.

To protect the device from overheating, ventilation holes are made on both sides of the case. A handle is attached to the main body, with which the bread maker can be easily moved.

The control panel of the kitchen unit has a “menu” button, which reflects the number of the automatically selected program. The “weight” parameter allows you to set the weight of the finished product; if a choice has not been made, then the default is 750 g. The up and down arrow buttons indicate an increase or decrease in the time period of the delayed start. The “crust” indicator sets the degree of browning of the top part of the product. Available in: light, medium and dark.

By clicking on “Start/Stop”, you can either start the execution of the program or stop the workflow to add components or return to the standby function.

The display of the device shows the number of the working program, cooking time or delay start period. Shows the type of crust selected and the weight of the finished product.

Bread maker Redmond RBM M-1909 is MUCH cheaper than offline and with delivery in 3 days.

Hello, it’s no secret that nowadays food manufacturers, increasingly striving for a more profitable business, are making the production process cheaper. To my great regret, we began to feel this in such an important product as bread. The bread that we can find on store shelves no longer resembles the “taste of childhood”, it is stored for more than a week, and often contains “traces” of production. As a result of a review on Muska, personal convictions and just a great promotion on Ali, I bought this bread maker. If anyone is interested in what came out of this, welcome to the cat. Attention, a lot of photos! A little history. The decision to buy a bread machine did not come immediately. I’m just tired of eating unbaked bread from the store from time to time. There was no interest in buying bread from chain stores at all; there it became not a “cake” at all. And in specialized bakeries they sell delicious bread, but the cost of each loaf is already exaggerated. Which, moreover, does not give confidence in quality. One fine day I came across a review of the Bread Maker from the respected fynjy-1977. This was the last straw, I definitely decided that we needed it. But the purchase was postponed; there were always more compelling reasons to spend about 10k rubles. But I wanted to buy something worthwhile and not cheap. One fine evening, lazily browsing through the offers on Ali, I came across an announcement of a bread machine from Redmond, which was exhibited by the already well-known lightning store. The discount on this Bread Maker was already more than 60%. Its cost was stated to be 4500 rubles. But we all know the marketing policy on this site. Therefore, it was no longer believed that the price was fair. Or I waited at the moment of the opening of the sale for a message that the number of samples on the promotion had run out. The sale was supposed to start in 5 days. I spent this time comparing reviews and prices on other sites. And strange... There are only positive reviews everywhere. Prices start from 10k, and in the official store as much as 12,990 rubles. There were even more doubts about the promotion; all we could do was wait and bite our nails and turn the spinner. And the hour has come. I still remembered the sale of my phone on fatbest, when at the appointed 11.00 Moscow time there were no more goods left. Therefore, I didn’t have high hopes. So, the time has come, I slowly go into the application and buy this Bread Maker for 4550 rubles, simultaneously receiving a 10% shmashback, which reduced the cost to almost 4k rubles. Prepared to wait.

Order

The goods were sent on the same day within two hours. They gave me some kind of tracking code, which can only be tracked on the transport company’s website. And imagine my surprise when 3 days later the courier called, inquiring where to deliver the cargo. And this is 1000 km from Moscow for a second. Doubts about the purchase continued until the opening of the box.

Specifications from the product page: Manufacturer: REDMOND Power (W): 600 W Control mode: Computerized Capacity: 1000 g Weight: 5.4 kg Maximum storage time: 15 hours Voltage (V): 230 V Model size: RBM-M1909 Certification: CE I’ll add on my own: There is a choice of loaves of 500-750-1000 g. There is a choice of crust color. 24 ready-made programs, and a 25th multi-baker: the ability to bake bread according to your own recipe. It is possible to cook other dishes, as in a regular multicooker, only the volume is limited by the bowl. There is a delayed start. Autoheating after cooking.

Equipment and appearance.

The seller packed the original box simply in plastic. And he reported three pieces of paper: a return application, a booklet, and a delivery note.

The bread maker comes in an original box in the spirit of Redmond technology.

Contents: Lots of advertising, measuring cup, measuring spoon, instructions, recipe book, 2 kneading blades, hook for removing the blade from the finished bread.

Appearance. I would like to note that the surface of the entire bread maker perfectly collects fingers.

Information on the side:

The unit is assembled with high quality, there is no flimsiness or smell. The inside cover is made of unpainted metal.

There is a viewing window. The baking pan was already placed inside the oven.

At first I thought about how to get it out of there, because reading the instructions is not our method. It turns out it needs to be turned counterclockwise.

After this, nothing prevents you from getting the bowl.

The bowl is covered with a ceramic non-stick coating, Redmond patent. Confirmed ownership of a multicooker from him. Only after all these manipulations did I see the hint, “for the smart ones”

Closer view of the lid from the inside

Inside you can see the rotating mechanism and heating element.

This is what the bowl looks like from below

All working parts are made of metal. This is good news. Well, I can’t wait to try out the unit. First, take a bowl.

Install the blade.

We choose the “classic” - Darnitsa bread. Then, according to the recipe from the attached book, add the ingredients.

But then doubt crept in. The recipe specifies the program for this bread as “gluten-free bread.” Suspicious... But we obediently choose her. After 2.5 hours, take out the bread and cool as required. Naturally, I don’t have the strength to wait until it cools completely, the aroma is just right!!! Let's cut it.

. Which is what needed to be proven... The bread did not rise as required and was not completely baked. Let's not despair. Read the instructions. First: It turns out that the yeast should not just be poured on top, but introduced into the hole prepared in the flour. Second: you cannot open the lid during the cooking process, so as not to interfere with the processes ongoing in it. The lid can only be opened to introduce additional ingredients by a special sound signal. And we looked in more than once, not twice, not three times out of curiosity. Thirdly: the suspicion that there was a typo in the recipe was confirmed. So on the same day we work on the mistakes. Add the ingredients as indicated in the recipe for Darnitsa bread, make a groove in the flour on top and add the yeast there. Select the “classic bread” program. We wait 3 hours, observing only through the viewing window. Voila:

The bread rose and baked perfectly. The crust is medium. And, oh gods!!! This is the same crispy crust from childhood. We enjoy the results of our work.

During the week of testing, it turned out that we were doing everything correctly and bread was obtained according to this scheme every time. The bread machine has a delay start, so now we add the ingredients before going to bed, select a program, and in the morning everyone at home wakes up to the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread. Even my son stopped waking up when he got up and got ready for kindergarten. On the maximum crust setting, by the way, the color change is not particularly noticeable, the crust is just a little thicker and crispier.

Next, a baking mixture was found in a store with German multigrain bread. It was decided to try it. Read the instructions and ingredients on the box

Pour out the mixture and set the program indicated on the box. It turns out such a miracle!

Loved this bread, great blend of grains and great flavor. The cut is as in the picture on the box.

I didn’t take a photo of the following recipes in the bowl, since they look the same. Next we tried baking French bread with malt. Everything is exactly according to the recipe. It turned out to be such a loaf of bread.

In the recipe book for each bread it is written what it is recommended to eat them with. This one says to serve with smoked meats. Well. Done.

The next favorite bread in our family was toast bread. Great for breakfast sandwiches. Again we encountered an inaccuracy in the recipe; it was not indicated to set the weight to 1000g. Well, it's not critical. They guessed it themselves and installed it. It turns out great every time.

Darnitsa bread with caraway seeds and malt also turns out great.

Sesame bread was chosen next. Roast sesame seeds.

The dough is made with milk. Add the seeds

Add flour, add yeast.

At the signal, we open the lid and see such a pie.

We cut it, the view is beautiful.

Let's try ooo. Very salty!!! Tasty, but too salty. We are conducting an investigation. We open the recipe and what do we see?

Another typo. On the left, 9g of salt is 3 teaspoons, and on the right, 9g of salt is 1.5 teaspoons. And the truth is in the second case... Damn. They deceived us again... Let's move on. The next choice was Ciabatta Bread with Cheese and Herbs! We collect the ingredients. It is interesting that ciabatta is baked with skim milk. Oh, I looked for it in our provincial stores. We grate Parmesan. By the way, the smell from it is not for everyone.

We collect spices: basil, marjoram, oregano. Also salt and yeast.

Add flour.

Together:

The result is a wonderful loaf of bread weighing around 1000 g. It has an “exquisite” taste and is perfect to please your guests.

Next it was interesting to try baking Karelian bread with paprika. There was such an inviting picture in a recipe book. We collect the ingredients. Flour

Salt, sugar, paprika, yeast.

You need a little more water and a piece of butter 40 g.

The recipe is given in the book using the multi-baker program. And again there were suspicions of incorrect numbers. But we need to check. As a result, the bread was not baked the first time, so I turned it over and baked it for another 30 minutes. It turned out to be about the case. Very bright, sunny bread that can surprise your guests. But I wouldn’t call it everyday bread.

Overall, we really liked the bread maker. It allows anyone to enjoy the taste of childhood bread; all you need to do is add the ingredients. She will do the rest herself.

The customer is satisfied

Pros: + Delayed start + Beautiful design + Excellent assembly + Excellent bowl coating + Excellent dough kneading + Excellent functionality The disadvantages would be: - The surface catches your fingers. — A disgusting recipe book in terms of typos. — It beeps loudly in the morning :) — I haven’t learned to turn off the automatic heating for an hour. Bon appetit!

some recipes from the book

True, where there is gluten-free bread, I choose classic bread.

Equipment

The packaging in which the bread machine is supplied follows the Redmond corporate style. Information about the product and its photograph are placed on a black background; on the sides of the packaging you can see examples of ready-made dishes and examine individual accessories of the device. A careful study of the packaging will allow you to become familiar with the technical characteristics and advantages of the device, as well as the list and features of automatic programs. The box is equipped with a carrying handle.

Inside the box, two foam inserts on the sides ensure the device remains stationary during transportation and storage. Additionally, the body and all accessories, except for the baking dish, are packed in plastic bags. The inner surface of the baking dish is protected from damage by special packaging material. Having opened the box, inside we found:

• bread machine body
• baking dish
• two mixing blades
• beaker
• measuring spoon
• hook for removing the kneading blade
• recipe book
• instructions and warranty card

At first sight

The shape and design of the bread maker is not surprising. The device is made in the shape of a parallelepiped with rounded corners. The case is made of stainless steel, due to this it looks quite strict and elegant. We think that the device will fit into a kitchen of any design. The metal surface is well processed, smooth to the touch.

On the left side of the case there is a working chamber covered with a lid, on the right there is a control panel with a display and buttons. The lid is equipped with a transparent window through which it is convenient to observe the process without disturbing the temperature in the working chamber. A metal handle protruding beyond the boundaries of the case will protect against burns from hot steam when opening the device.

Ventilation holes can be seen both on the hinged lid and on the right wall of the case.

Apart from the presence of a sticker with the technical characteristics of the device, the back side is unremarkable. The power cable is connected between the rear and bottom panels. Its length is sufficient for domestic use.

Inside the working chamber, at a height of 6.5 cm from the bottom, a heating element is fixed along the walls. In the center there is a place to install the form for kneading and baking. The mold and the motor are connected using a bayonet type connection. The container is installed inside the chamber using a standard movement: placing it at a slight angle and fixing it by turning it to the right. On the inner surface of the wall there are hints in which direction the form should be turned for fixation or, conversely, removal.

At the bottom there are four legs with rubberized pads to prevent slipping. The bottom of the bread machine rises above the table surface by about one centimeter. There are round ventilation holes along the perimeter of the bottom.

The baking dish is made of metal, the inner surface is treated with a ceramic non-stick coating. The kneading blades have the same coating. The coating looks durable, we did not find any scratches, chips or other defects. The walls of the bowl are thick, do not bend or deform when pressed. The handle is thin and metal, so the use of protective equipment when removing finished baked goods is mandatory.

A typical set of accessories includes a measuring cup, a measuring spoon and a hook for removing the blade. Let's be honest, in all the time we have been using various bread makers, we have never used the last accessory. A plastic cup and spoon can be useful if the cook is more comfortable using them rather than scales, or if he has reached the level of skill where he can afford to cook “by eye.” On the wall of the cup there are marks of water (in ml/cups) and flour (in cups). A measuring spoon will allow you to add from ¼ to a full teaspoon or tablespoon of dry product.

The Redmond RBM-M1920 bread maker made a good impression: the device is well made, looks stylish, the design is simple, the bowl is strong, the non-stick coating seems durable, the control panel, at first glance, also does not raise any questions.

Instructions

The operating instructions are made in the form of a thin brochure in a format close to A5. The document is printed on high-quality glossy paper and contains information in three languages, the first of which is Russian. The 13 pages contain all the information a user may need for successful operation: from a description of the design to a table with possible reasons for unsatisfactory baking results. The summary table of automatic programs provides not only recommendations for using the program and its stages, but also additional functions and capabilities.

Additionally, the kit includes a recipe book. The first pages traditionally present advertising materials and a number of general information. The user can get acquainted with the table of calorie content of products, advice from Redmond chefs, recommendations and requirements for the cooking process. All 50 recipes are divided into chapters and will allow you to prepare not only bread or sweet pastries, but also cereals, soups, main courses and desserts. The style of presentation of the recipe is typical for Redmond: a photo of the finished dish on half of the page, a list of ingredients and preparation procedure on the second. For a novice user, a recipe book can become an indispensable assistant.

Control

The control panel with two rows of buttons and an LCD display is located to the right of the hinged cover. All buttons are labeled, so their purpose is intuitive. The display backlight glows bright blue when you press buttons and install programs; after a few seconds of inactivity, it goes out. All set parameters and cycle stage indicators are clearly visible even without the display backlight.

Pressing the buttons is accompanied by a loud, short beep. With the same signals, the bread maker notifies the user about other events occurring in it - the time to add additional ingredients and the end of the cycle, when several loud signals are heard.

The display shows not only the selected settings (program number, loaf weight and degree of browning of the crust), but also the cooking stage (delay start, kneading, rest, rise, baking, auto-heating). So the user can always find out not only the remaining time until the end, but also what exactly is happening in the bread maker at the moment.

The general procedure for baking bread is quite familiar:

1. Install the blade and check the reliability of its fastening.
2. Fill the mold with ingredients in the volume and sequence specified in the recipe.
3. Insert and secure the baking pan into the baking chamber of the bread maker.
4. Connect the device to the network. The device will beep and go into standby mode.
5. By pressing the “Menu” button, select the desired program. The “Kneading” and “Multi-Baker” programs are available by pressing the corresponding buttons.
6. If necessary, adjust the cooking time or delay start time, select the weight and color of the loaf crust.
7. Press the “Start/Pause” button.

The delay start function allows you to set the time after which the bread will be ready. Interval - up to 15 hours. The change step depends on the selected cooking program. This feature is not available for all automatic programs. Setting the delay is very simple: after selecting a program or setting the time, you need to press the “+” buttons to increase and “−” to decrease the delay time.

The device is equipped with 19 automatic programs. In addition to actually baking various types of bread, the user can use programs for preparing:

• cupcake
• soup
• yeast dough
• yogurt
• jam
• biscuit
• milk porridge

In addition, process programs are available:

• extinguishing
• mixing with time changes
• proofing and baking
• cooking

The duration of some of the programs may be adjusted. If the user finds that the available automatic programs are not enough, he can always take advantage of the capabilities of the “Multi-Baker”. This program allows you to set the duration of each stage of kneading and proofing, as well as baking and automatic heating. A delayed start function is also available.

The device has non-volatile memory. In the event of a power outage while the program is running, all settings are saved for 10 minutes of inactivity. When the power supply is restored, the device automatically continues the cycle.

Exploitation

Before starting operation, you should wipe the housing outside and inside, as well as wash and dry all parts of the device that come into contact with food. The bread maker should be installed on a flat, horizontal surface away from heat sources. You also need to ensure that there are no decorative surfaces, electronic devices or other objects and surfaces nearby that may be damaged by exposure to elevated temperatures.

Operating the bread maker is quite simple. Let us note a few nuances that we usually pay attention to.

• Tall loaves were obtained with a slightly sagging top. When baking 500g bread, the top was raised and slightly rounded.
• The viewing window in the lid fogs up both during proofing and when baking bread.
• The settings for baking programs for different types of bread can be considered adequate.
• Many programs provide the ability to add additional ingredients during long kneading. This is indicated by long loud beeps.
• A list of automatic programs can usually be found on the lid of the device or in another visible place. The Redmond RBM-M1920 does not have a list of automatic programs on an easily accessible surface of the case. Therefore, the user is forced to check the instructions or write down the numbers of the most popular programs somewhere.

Automatic programs, especially those designed specifically for baking bread, allow you to get the expected result. Program settings differ in the time of kneading and proofing, the number of batches, and the combination of kneading and proofing. It is, of course, possible to leave the bread in the warming mode for an hour at the end of the cycle, but in our opinion, there is a risk of the loaf becoming soggy. Therefore, we removed the bread immediately after baking, placed it on a wire rack, and after 15-20 minutes, wrapped it in a clean towel until completely cooled.

During the entire time of our interaction with it, the Redmond RBM-M1920 bread maker did not present any unpleasant surprises. The device operates reliably, is easy to use, and the baking result was always good and met expectations. The only time we baked a walnut cake according to a recipe from the book, we were disappointed with the result. But the problem was not in the device, but in the recipe itself - more precisely, setting the program time. It was recommended to bake a regular butter cake with baking powder at the appropriate program settings for 4 hours 52 minutes. The proofing time was about three hours, as a result, all the butter melted and peeled off from the dough, and at the end we got a hard product, more like a cookie than a cupcake. Therefore, when using recipes from the book, we advise you to pay attention not only to the list of ingredients, but also to the recommended cycle duration.

Care

Cleaning and maintaining the bread maker is very simple. As with any electrical device, the housing must not be placed in water or under running water. To preserve the appearance and quality of the non-stick coating, it is prohibited to use abrasive or chemically aggressive substances when cleaning.

First, remove the kneading blade from the bowl. If the blade does not come off easily, then fill the bowl with warm water and leave it for a while. The external and internal surfaces of the housing can be wiped with a soft, damp kitchen cloth or sponge. It is acceptable to use a mild detergent. The main condition is to carefully remove its remains after the cleaning process so that it does not affect the taste of the finished dish.

We did not encounter any difficulties when caring for the Redmond RBM-M1920 bread maker.

Our measurements

Energy consumption measurements were made using a wattmeter while the device was operating. In baking mode, the power of the bread maker ranges from 510 to 527 W. In rest mode, the bread maker consumes 0.4 W, in kneading mode - about 30 W. Energy consumption indicators when using automatic programs may be interesting.

• For a cycle of baking bread weighing 750 g with a medium-rare crust in the “French Bread” program, the device consumes from 0.283 kWh.
• When using the “Rye Bread” program and baking a 750 g loaf with a medium-rare crust, the energy consumption was 0.387 kWh.
• The “Quenching” cycle for 1 hour 30 minutes consumes 0.380 kWh.

Most of the time the device operates almost silently. The bread maker only makes noise when kneading dough. The sound signals are quite loud, so you can hear them even from the farthest room, and at night they are quite capable of waking you up even with the kitchen door closed.

Practice tests

During practical experiments, we will use automatic programs, bake several types of bread and try to cook something atypical for a bread machine.

French bread with cheese (recipe No. 14 from the complete book)

Powdered milk - 25 g, premium wheat flour - 440 g, salt - 9 g, sugar - 30 g, vegetable oil - 12 ml, water - 280 ml, yeast - 4.5 g, parmesan - 90 g, dry basil - 2 years

Parmesan was grated on a fine grater and mixed with basil. Place the ingredients in the bread maker bowl in the following order: milk powder, flour, salt, sugar, butter, water, yeast, cheese and basil. Close the lid and set program No. 2 (French bread), loaf weight - 750 g, crust color - medium. The duration of the program was exactly five hours.

After four and a half hours, the smell of fresh bread became completely unbearable. So when the appliance beeped loudly to signal the end of the cycle, we didn't follow the recommendation of keeping the bread in the oven for an hour. We immediately removed the loaf and placed it on a wire rack to cool quickly.

The loaf turned out to be tall. The crust is medium-rare, crispy. The upper part fell inward in the center. The crumb is lush, with a large number of large pores. The cheese and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the bread. The cheese not only added a bright aroma and taste, but also made the bread crumb elastic. When cutting, the crumb does not crumble at all.

The recipe book recommends combining this bread with various milk sausages. However, even without sausage it is quite tasty and self-sufficient.

Result: excellent.

Rye bread with caraway seeds (recipe No. 16 from the complete book)

Premium wheat flour - 350 g, rye flour - 230 g, whole grain flour - 20 g, salt - 6 g, sugar - 12 g, honey - 12 g, vegetable oil - 12 ml, water - 330 ml, yeast - 4 .5 g, malt - 28 g, ground coriander - 2 g, whole cumin - 1 g, nutmeg - 1 g.

Place the ingredients in a baking dish in the following order: water, sugar, salt, honey, yeast, malt, spices, vegetable oil, wheat flour, rye flour and whole grain flour. We installed program No. 10 (rye bread). Loaf weight - 750 g, crust color - medium. After pressing the “Start” button, we learned that the bread would be ready in 4 hours and 32 minutes.

The finished loaf is dense and aromatic. The top part "sank" slightly in the center. The color and degree of roasting of the sides of the bread is uniform. The cut shows that the crumb is of excellent quality. It is soft to the touch, well baked, not sticky or wet, finely porous, without voids. When slicing, the crumb does not crumble.

Result: excellent.

Sour cream

100 g of sour cream of 15% fat content was mixed in 350 g of 10% cream. We poured the milk mixture into the bowl of the bread machine, installed it inside the device and set the “Yoghurt” program. The default cycle length is 8 hours. Since the temperature of our cream and sour cream was significantly lower than room temperature, we increased the program time to 9 hours. After an hour and a half, the contents of the bowl were mixed again.

After the beeps sounded, indicating the end of the work, we took out the bowl and transferred the resulting sour cream into a jar. The sour cream was a bit runny, which we attribute to the low percentage of fat in the original products. They put it in the refrigerator.

The sour cream thickened slightly, but still did not become the kind that “stands for a spoon.” We connect this not with the operation of the device, but with the original ingredients. In general, we conclude that using a bread maker as a yogurt maker is quite possible. And most importantly, you can ferment both large and small quantities of the product.

Result: excellent.

Chakhokhbili with beans (recipe No. 43 from the complete book)

Chicken (thighs) - 300 g, green beans - 200 g, onions - 100 g, tomatoes - 100 g, bell pepper - 80 g, tomato paste - 60 g, butter - 20 g, water - 100 ml, salt , spices.

The prepared and chopped ingredients were placed in a bowl, from which the paddle for kneading the dough had previously been removed. Mix well and cover the bowl with foil. Set program No. 9 (stewing), cooking time 1 hour 30 minutes.

At the end of the program we received a perfectly prepared second course. For our taste, the vegetables were even a little overcooked, so next time we would reduce the cooking time to 1 hour 10 minutes. But nothing burned, nothing ran away. Both the top of the foil and the outside of the bowl remained clean.

The result of this test proves that the parameters of the “Stewing” program are quite adequate and allow you to use the bread maker not only as a device for baking and kneading dough, but also for preparing second courses.

Result: excellent.

conclusions

The Redmond RBM-M1920 bread maker can be considered a device that copes well with basic and additional functions. The device looks elegant, is convenient to use, and is easy to operate. 19 automatic programs allow you to prepare various types of bread, pastries, first and second courses, as well as use individual processes - kneading dough or baking it. For advanced users, there is the “Multi-Baker” program, which allows you to set the duration of each of the stages of kneading and proofing, baking and auto-heating.

The bread turns out evenly fried, the crumb in each of the experiments was exactly what we expected to see. There was only one point that slightly marred the excellent results: large loaves of bread fell through the center of the top. This had no effect on the quality of the bread or its taste, only upsetting our aesthetic feelings. Medium and small loaves are obtained with an evenly raised top.

The disadvantages include the lack of visual representation of programs on the device body. The user needs to either remember the numbers of the programs that are most in demand, or regularly look at the instructions.
