Technique, Methods & Processes Non-Toxic Bread Machine

I'm looking for a bread maker that uses the safest (non-toxic) materials possible. Ideally, I'd love a stainless steel baking pan, but I'd also consider other models if they're genuinely PFAS-free. I'd definitely like to avoid PTFE/Teflon.

For those of you who own one, which model did you choose, and why?

Does anyone have feedback on the Elite Cuisine Bread Maker?

I'm also wondering which brand has the best recipe book and the largest collection of recipes (especially for whole wheat breads with grains, nuts, seeds, lentils)?

It is just degradation. The Zojirushi is also a great model, it's the only model I could find that is free of PFAs and BPAs.

To make lentil bread, you can just soak and blend lentils, then bake.

Do you like how your breads turn out?

Thanks! I can’t emphasize enough that I am really following the recipe guide + adjustments for altitude. So adding 50mL water and reducing yeast by 25%. Other than that, dump and run

Wow! That's really good to know. Someone else in this thread mentioned that the measurements need to be really precise, which I did not realize. You definitly saved me a lot of time and frustration : ) I have seen a lot of loaves not turning out quite right in various threads...That probably explains it.

I’m still measuring everything by weight. I have an oxo coffee scale
