Greetings hostesses!

Who doesn't like to wake up early in the morning to the smell of freshly baked homemade bread, stretch out sweetly, and go for a warm and crispy crust with a glass of milk (tea, coffee, cocoa) for breakfast? And all this without any hassle!

This wonderful helper has firmly settled in our house, and was presented for a wedding. I avoided it for a long time, and did not even unpack it, and always found excuses:

- "oh, I already bought bread!"

- "I have no time to do this today" ...

For some reason, I thought that baking bread was a troublesome task. And she waited, in general, a well-founded claim from her husband:

- "Darling, are you at the end of the day? I want freshly baked bread for breakfast!"

And then came her finest hour - the automatic LG bakery.

In the set, actually:

• body with a bowl for baking bread (for a loaf)
• dough paddle (kneader)
• measuring cup for liquids (230 ml)
• tablespoon + teaspoon (2 in 1, 15 and 5 grams, respectively)
• user manual + recipe book (also 2 in 1)

Everything turned out to be so SIMPLE that I got excited! It turns out that you don't even need to get your hands dirty.

And she began to bake not only for our family, but also for the neighbors (we must treat them). I knocked out my mother, she also bought one for herself, and now on our tables there is always fresh, tasty and varied homemade bread.

And this model (HB-1001CJ), in addition to baking bread, can cook dough, muffins and jams (strawberry, blueberry, apple, apricot, orange, cherry), mmm ...

The manufacturer also claims that other models have:

modes for making homemade yoghurt and butter

The bread maker is equipped with a convenient touch panel, easy to operate, and easy to understand the first time. The oven itself is rather bulky.

Equipped with a delayed start timer up to 13 o'clock! (it is convenient to put in all the ingredients in the evening, and in the morning already have breakfast, for example, sandwiches with freshly baked bread).

There is also a function to keep the bread warm up to 3 hours(I do not use it, but I take it out immediately after the end of the program, because then the bread becomes very soft and plasticine).

You can still choose crust colorthus it can be medium, light or dark in color.

Dimensions - 347x231x352 mm

Test of the LG HB-156 JE bread machine: save yourself who can!

It's finished! I finally got the chance to try out an automatic bakery! LG entrusted me to test one of their new products, the HB-156 JE bread maker. This was my first experience of communicating with such a device, before that I saw them only from afar. The dimensions of the stove taken out of the box pleasantly surprised me. I imagined this miracle of technology a little more, not so compact. True, LG HB-156 JE is not the largest bread maker, it is designed for a family of 3-4 people. The maximum weight of a baked loaf is 680 grams. An ordinary store bun weighs about the same. Most bakeries of rival firms bake more impressive breads.

Most Popular Automatic Bakery of 2007

LG HB-156 JE Maximum loaf weight - 680 g Number of programs: 7 Price: 3200 rub.	PANASONIC SD 255 Maximum loaf weight: 1.2 kg Number of programs: 9 Price: 5000 rub.	HITACHI HBC 103 The maximum weight of a loaf is 600 g Number of programs: 6 Price: 3000 rub.	KENWOOD BM 350 A Maximum loaf weight - 1 kg Number of programs: 14 Price: 3600 rub.

The stove LG HB-156 JE is white, quite neat in appearance. It is extended in depth, which means that it does not require too much space for its installation. You can install it anywhere, just not next to a stove or some other heat source. Also, do not place it on a windowsill or in a draft. This can either speed up or drastically slow down the yeast, making baking results unpredictable.
The cord for the device is not long, about a meter. This somewhat complicates the installation of the device. You will either have to look for a place near the outlet, or use extension cords. But manufacturers believe that the meter is the optimal length of the cord: it does not hang out anywhere, it is rather difficult to get tangled in it. And sockets in a modern kitchen have long been located in those places where it is customary to install household appliances.

Removing the lid, I found inside the bakery what I should have found there: a non-stick mold and circular shade. The form is equipped with a handle for which it is convenient to pull it out. At the bottom of the mold is a small rotating dough mixer for kneading the dough. The nozzle can be easily removed from the transmission shaft. The cover folds back easily and locks securely in an upright position.

The bread maker comes with a measuring plastic cup for flour and liquids. Its volume is 230 ml. The walls of the cup are transparent, they have convenient marks on them, which make it possible to measure any required volume of liquid in any unit. Also included is a double-sided measuring spoon. One side of it corresponds to the volume of a standard tablespoon (15 ml), and the other - a teaspoon (5 ml). But, as it turned out later, some recipes include "half a tablespoon of sugar" or "a quarter of a teaspoon of yeast." The spoons are made of opaque plastic and it is difficult to measure half of them.

The box also contained a fairly detailed, understandably written instruction and a collection of bread recipes.

Bread

Almost all recipes contain the same ingredients. These are flour, sugar, milk powder, salt, dry yeast and water. I didn't have any milk powder, I had to go to the store for it. I also bought some fresh dry yeast bags.

I embarked on the rite with some trepidation: bread always seemed to me a mystical product, full of mystery and sacred meaning. This is the meaning I had to comprehend. I decided to start with the most ordinary, table white bread, with a large loaf.

I took out the form, wiped it with a damp cloth, as the manufacturer advises. It is not recommended to wash the mold under running water, it can damage the transmission mechanism. I put on the shaft, or "spindle", as the manufacturer lovingly calls it, a spatula for kneading dough. Prepared products: flour, sugar, salt, yeast, milk powder, butter. As indicated in the instructions, I first poured water into the mold, 1 cup and a third of a cup. Then she poured flour, salt, sugar, milk powder. Before adding flour, the cup had to be wiped dry. This is not very convenient; it would be advisable to complete the bread maker with two cups. They are inexpensive, and the time savings are quite tangible.

The recipe required two tablespoons of butter. But the cold butter stuck to the spoon and was difficult to scrape off. It occurred to me that it would be easier not to measure butter with spoons, but to weigh it out on an accurate kitchen scale. I did just that with the second spoon. It turned out 12 grams. In all the following tests, I have already measured the oil on the scales.

After all the products were loaded into the mold, I put the mold back in its place inside the oven, plugged the oven into a power outlet and set the program.

The program is very easy to install. The bread recipe indicated that it should be baked in the "basic" mode. This mode is set by pressing the "MENU" button twice. Then I chose the color of the crust - light and set it by double pressing the button "COLOR OF THE CROWN". After that, she pressed the "START" button. The cooking time was displayed on the screen - 3.40 and the bread maker began to work.

You cannot open the lid during operation - the temperature regime necessary for the proper growth of yeast may be violated - this was stated in the instructions. And the window by the stove is not too big and you can see not everything you want through it. But I could not resist and still opened the lid to see how the device works and to photograph the process.

A neat ball of almost finished dough rolled inside, slightly larger than a man's fist. The machine stopped and a lump of dough fell to the bottom. I closed the lid to let the dough fit comfortably. During the rise of the dough, the machine was turned on a couple of times for a few minutes to knead the dough. About three hours later there was a slight crackle and the smell of a bakery. The bread maker has started the most crucial moment - baking bread. The dough rose and took up about two-thirds of the mold's volume. Now the dough could already be easily seen through the transparent window. The bread was baked for 50 minutes, then it cooled down for 20 minutes, as it was laid down in the cooking program.

After the beep, I eagerly opened the lid, took out the mold, and shook the ruddy loaf out of it onto a napkin. I kept the uniform in special mittens for hot dishes, so as not to burn myself. The bread is not very high, the top crust is slightly cracked at the very beginning of baking.

The instructions describe in detail all possible types of defects that occur when making bread in the LG bread maker. Several error options were offered to choose from: a lot of flour, old yeast, or little yeast, little sugar, or too little water. The yeast was fresh, I put sugar and water strictly according to the instructions. Perhaps I was wrong somewhere. After reading the instructions again, I realized that the flour had to be put in a measuring cup without tamping. I pressed her pretty hard.

The probable cause of the error has been found. But the loaf was so appetizing in appearance that I never for a moment doubted its quality. Before cutting the loaf, I examined it from all sides. I noticed that the mixer was baked into a loaf. But in the instructions it was written that this was provided for by the design, sometimes it happens and is not a defect in the device. Deciding not to worry about it, I carefully pulled it out with a small plastic spatula.

I started cutting the bread. First, I cut the loaf in half, then began to cut off pieces, about 15 mm wide. First with a knife and then with a slicer. The bread was cut well, did not crumble, did not crumble or break. I did not dare to cut off a thinner piece - soft fresh bread is not intended for this.

And then the most terrible thing began: my hungry family, who had been watching and sniffing for a long time at what was happening in the kitchen, surrounded the plate and stretched out their suffering hands to it. I put the kettle on, but in vain. Exactly 5 minutes later, the plate was empty. Nobody waited for tea, including me, eating a piece while standing. Our family of three usually eats a loaf of bread a week. From the hungry eyes of my husband and son, I realized that I urgently needed to bake the next portion.

Kulich

The manufacturer of the bread machine, LG, is very proud of the Russian Cook baking program, which is included in this model. This program is specially designed for baking bread according to traditional Russian recipes. You can bake rye bread, honey-mustard bread and even Easter cake. It was the promise of a real Easter cake that caused my disbelief. Despite the fact that Easter is still far away, I decided to bake it as an experiment.

The recipe for Easter cake is the most complicated, the dough is kneaded on dough, the food is placed in the bowl in two stages. After looking at the instructions again, after reading the recipe and comments, I began to cook products. I poured 50 ml. water, broke 4 eggs, added 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 cups of flour and 2 teaspoons of yeast. I didn’t measure the butter in cups, but carefully weighed 72 grams (6 tablespoons). Using the “MENU” button I chose the “Russian Chef” program, with the baking control button I chose a light crust. The recipe recommended that you choose medium, but the dough with a lot of baking and sugar browns pretty quickly. I pressed the START button, the kneading mechanism started working.

While the dough was kneading, I prepared all the other ingredients as recommended in the recipe: 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, half a teaspoon yeast. The recipe recommends adding half a cup of raisins, but since my family doesn't like raisins, I decided not to put them in.

After 15 minutes, after a fairly loud "beep", I added all the ingredients to the dough one by one. The stove spun again. This time, I was no longer curious and did not open the lid. The bread maker worked great in automatic mode, without my participation. About half an hour before the end of the program, I thought about the icing for the cake. The recipe book gave a fairly simple and rather traditional recipe for icing: take 200 grams of powdered sugar, sift through a sieve into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of hot milk and rub with a wooden spoon until smooth and shiny. The finished glaze had to be poured over the cooled Kulich and decorated with multi-colored millet.

From this "multi-colored millet" breathed such a serenity, such a homespun that I laughed. By the decision of the family council, millet was canceled. After a little thought, I also canceled the frosting. Still, Kulich is a festive Easter dish. And I cooked it in test mode.

In 3 hours 40 minutes after the start, the already familiar “beeps” were heard and “END” was displayed on the screen. I opened the lid. The cake rose splendidly, much better than the loaf of bread I baked earlier.

Despite the fact that the "RUSSIAN COOK" mode includes a cooling time, the Kulich was still hot. It was impossible even to touch the handle of the form. I had to use mittens again. I shook the cake out of the mold, pulled the kneading spatula out of his body, and left it to cool. The cake was much taller than a loaf of bread. On reflection, I nevertheless decided to decorate it. It was too late to grind the icing and I decided to just sprinkle it with icing sugar.

The cake is cold. Now it remains to cut it. Traditional Easter cakes are baked in round forms and cut into corner sectors. Our cake was square, and I decided that it would still be advisable to cut it into halves, and then into slices, like bread. Despite its splendor and airiness, the cake was cut with a bread knife surprisingly easily.

But after trying it, I was disappointed. It was delicious, it was festive, but it was not the Easter cake we are all used to. It tasted more like bread. Spicy, sweet, smelling of vanilla, but bread. All my family, raised on real grandmother's cakes, agreed with me. But nevertheless, they ate it in 10 minutes. At the same time, the husband smeared the slices with butter, and the son with orange marmalade.

I felt creepy. First a loaf of bread, then Kulich ... If things go at such a pace, then in a couple of months our apartment will need serious repairs with the expansion of the doorways. We will not get through into ordinary ones. It is not for nothing that slender French women argue that baking is in the mouth for two minutes, and then on the hips for life. This was also confirmed by the scales on which I got up the next morning. Plus 600 grams. And this is a day!

And the awakened family looked at the traditional oatmeal with dislike and demanded bread! But they did not receive bread, however, as well as circuses.

Jam

If the device fell into my hands, then it must be examined to the end. And I decided to make a jam. She chopped a pound of apples, as written in the recipe, poured them into a mold, squeezed half a lemon, and added sugar.

As written in the recipe, I shake the mold to mix the ingredients. Having put the form in the bread maker, I selected the program and pressed the "START" button. The cooking time was displayed on the screen: 1 hour 20 minutes. The spatula remained in place, but the apparatus began to heat up. After a few minutes, the spatula turned several times, mixing the contents. After another couple of minutes, it began to rotate constantly. The jam was bubbling, bubbling, stirring and boiling with all his might. After the allotted time, the bread maker squeaked and turned off. The sign “END” lit up, the jam was ready. But the temperature was high, and the boiling continued for several more minutes by inertia. Also, boiling in a saucepan that is on an electric stove does not immediately stop.

The jam turned out to be quite liquid, with pieces of apples floating in syrup. I decided that before putting the jam in a vase, it should be allowed to cool a little. After half an hour, I still laid out the jam, using a plastic teflon spoon so as not to scratch the mold.

The uniform had to be washed immediately. But according to the instructions, you cannot wash the form. It is necessary to wipe it with a damp sponge after each use. I did not succeed in wiping off the remaining sugar caramel from the walls. Otherwise, I risked scratching the shape. I had to fill it with water to get wet. After about 15 minutes, the sugar disappeared, and I wiped the mold dry.
During this time, the jam cooled down, thickened a little. It is this consistency that is most convenient for smearing it on pancakes, croissants, or simply on bread.

I liked the process of making the jam, and I decided to fix the material by trying again. This time I took a half-kilogram pack of frozen strawberries that were in the refrigerator. The instructions and the recipe book did not say anything about whether or not you can or cannot make jam from frozen berries. I decided to give it a try. Without defrosting, I poured the berries into the mold, poured it with lemon juice, and covered it with sugar. She shook it and put it in the bread maker.

The berries boiled almost instantly. The jam turned out to be disastrously liquid, more like juice. There was almost no hope that it would thicken. But there was nothing to do, it only remained to wait for the end of the process. The result was disastrous, it was a complete failure! Even when the jam had cooled down, it poured out like syrup. The only thing you could do with it was to top up the tea. But the syrup was very tasty, and the smell of fresh strawberries was wonderfully preserved.

The husband and son did not receive any more bread, here I showed sufficient firmness. But apple jam and strawberry syrup were instantly destroyed at dinner. I didn’t make them weigh themselves, I didn’t spoil the mood. But the next day, with a light heart, I took the bread maker to the editorial office. And she firmly decided: this device will never be in our house! We do not need unnecessary temptations!

MODEL OVERVIEW:

Nice French bread;
Good rye bread;
Test preparation;
Cooking jam;
Excellent Easter cake;
You can not visit the store for a long time

I really like the bread maker and we don't buy bread from the store anymore.
We bought a measuring container to measure out the water for it, and we measure the flour with our own container (so as not to wipe it after water).
The ingredients were first poured precisely, because the bread was of unstable quality. Then, over time, experience came, and we do this:
- we measure the water purchased in a container according to the recipe book for ordinary bread. We take water from a drinking flask, at room temperature. Warm up for 15 seconds in the microwave. Pour into a bucket.
If the butter is from the refrigerator, then we throw it into the measured water and heat it up with the water.
If the oil is not very cold, then we simply cut it off by eye and throw a piece into the previously poured water into a bucket.
Add salt. Slightly more than in the recipe by about 20-25%. We will run into it more.
Pour in sugar, about 25% less than the recipe.
Powdered milk - by prescription, but by eye. those. plus or minus is not important.
The most important thing is yeast. We tried all sorts of different - you have to adapt to each brand for several buns. and the quality is not always stable. The best option we have is Pakmaya yeast! The best of the best! Always predictable results, always consistently high quality.
Sprinkle Pakmaevsky yeast about 15% less than the recipe.
Everything is a bucket in a bread maker. we pick up the mode. crust color, press start and go about our business for 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Somewhere 20 minutes before the end of the program, the final stage takes place, which, in principle, can be skipped. The bread maker will squeak in 20 minutes - you can wait until the end, or you can pull it out and put it to cool.
It is not as difficult to make bread as it seems. Loading the ingredients takes about two minutes.
I don't wash the bucket after the bread - there is only one flour and everything is dry.

Programs: 9 - basic, special, quick, dough, cake, jam.

The "Russian Chef" mode is designed for baking rye, pumpkin, honey-mustard, sour cream bread, kulich, as well as other types of bread according to your recipes. The special mode is designed for baked goods containing a lot of sugar, fat, cheese and eggs. For the preparation of white bread, the main mode is used. The difference between the programs is in the intensity of mixing.

The Quick Bread program lasts about 2 hours.

The "Dough" mode is mainly used for making yeast dough, the process takes a little over an hour. But the collection contains recipes for yeast-free pizza and dumplings dough.

Loaf: 500, 700 g.

Test result: for baking a white loaf, we have chosen a recipe for table bread with butter and milk powder. The result is a very homemade, unusual bread with a delicate crumb and crumbly crust.

We prepared the cake according to the manufacturer's recipe, adding components in two stages. The first tab was kneaded for about 15 minutes, then, on a signal, we brought in the second batch of products. The cake came out lush, ruddy and very tasty.

Honey-mustard bread was also a success: it turned out to be a beautiful loaf with a pleasant complex flavor.

SUMMARY:

Benefits: delicious bread. Great dough. Luxurious cupcakes. Nice design. High quality cookbook included. Measuring spoon and measuring container included. It works very quietly, so far there have been no problems with operation.

disadvantages: almost after the first use, the form began to leak. At the expense of the jam function - its disadvantages are that the volume is not large - about half a liter of the resulting jam. The stirrer mechanism is not reliable.

Overall rating:it is very convenient to have your own bread at home. The whole family is very fond of rye and onion. It’s a pity that the mold has leaked, but we began to pour liquid at the end of the food laying, and for two years now we have been using the bread maker every day.

The model is good enough. Judge for yourself. After buying a bread machine in February 2010, we just stopped buying bread in the store. They come out very well: French bread, rye bread, and also kulich. Do not buy such cake in a store! The main disadvantage of the bread maker is the "stirrer" mechanism. A year later I had to completely change the bucket. The reason is the wear of the agitator mechanism. Having extensive operating experience and a little understanding of the technique, I will give the whole causal picture and the main conclusion.
The mechanism itself consists of three main parts: a bearing, an axle, an oil seal. The axle has an emphasis in the lower part on the metal bearing in the upper part on the oil seal (reinforced rubber) What's going on. Over time, water gets on the bearing and causes it to jam. Under such conditions, the rotation of the axis has two consequences. First, the axis itself is bent. Secondly, it leads to the destruction of the oil seal. Therefore, it is pointless to change the oil seal.
Output. For successful intensive operation of the bread maker, it is necessary to lubricate the rotation mechanism regularly (at least once a week). To do this, wash the bucket. After it dries, take some machine oil, such as sewing machine oil, and lubricate the bearing. Successful and durable operation.
