I bought the BB-SSC10 a few years back, and I totally love it. As someone living alone, I don't need to make bread for the Canadian army, just for me, so a smaller machine is highly appreciated. The machine is solidly built and extremely quiet in comparison to most machines available in Canada. I also like the location and the size of the LCD display. What I also like a lot, is the timer. The ability to wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread is such a luxury. So much so that if Zojirushi would put an even smaller machine on the market, I would buy it immediately. One thing I would change, is the colour of the LCD display. My 3-cup Zojirushi rice cooker has an orange display. That makes for significantly better contrast and therefore readibility. I would love to have that. The fact that I am even thinking of this shows what a wonderful machine this is. It is something I would not even think of, were it not for my rice cooker. I only make a very basic bread with it, which was the very reason I started baking my own bread in the first place. Industrial bread contains (lots of) sugar and oil, two products that are not needed at all. It also contains excessive amounts of salt. My bread has four ingredients only: water, flour, yeast and salt, in that order, and I love it. The only sad thing is that I had to order it, I have never seen it in a store in Toronto. Stores only sell the bigger machines. I wonder why, Toronto is not exactly a tiny rural village. Surely, I can't be the only one here who was looking for a small machine.
I bought a BB-SSC10 a few months ago and it makes fantastic bread. The only weird thing is when the machine activates the auto add-in dispenser, it's incredibly loud and sounds horrible. Is this normal? It doesn't seem like there's anything being damaged or wrong with the machine but it really does sound awful. Also, is there a way to disable the add-in dispenser whenever I'm not using it? I've tried removing the dispenser when using the machine but it still makes the same noise.
Hello, the noise comes from the activation of the opening of the auto-add dispenser, and cannot be disabled, even when the dispenser is not attached, we apologize for the inconvenience! If you have any other concerns, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at 800-733-6270 or support@zojirushi.com. Thank you for using our Meastro breadmaker!
The bread pan comes with a vegetable base lubricant that is compressed within the rotating shaft area. Once the rotating shaft becomes hard to turn then that means that the pan is worn and will need replacement. Unfortunately, we don't have the machinery required to relubricate it and compress it again. We apologize for the inconvenience.
@@ZojirushiAmerica thanks for the reply. So, I take it you don't recommend using sewing machine oil on the bottoms of the shaft by the wingnuts as some have suggested.
Do you know how long the rest, kneading, rising, and baking cycles are? The books that came with my bread machine only indicated when it will beep to add extra ingredients. I have tried to contact the company on several occasions but to date they have not responded. Therefore, I really appreciate your assistance.
That makes no sense. If that were true, then why does your recipe book tell us when it will beep to add in extra ingredients. How can you expect us to accurately make bread without knowing when the dough will start rising and when the rising phase is completed, so we can decide when to "punch down" the dough. In some instances your recipes say to "punch down" the bread twice. If the "exact times" are proprietary, which I really doubt, then what about telling us an approximate time the machine takes for the bread to rise for each course setting? That way we can figure out when the dough might have risen enough to punch it down. For example: The average time the machine rises bread for course 1 is approx. 30 to 40 minutes for white bread so after about 20 minutes of rising, we might want to punch down the dough.
@@fritzj8 Thank you for reaching out. I completely understand your frustration with not having the exact course times. Unfortunately, this is considered proprietary information, and we are unable to share it. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Our courses are designed to provide you with the best possible results. The punch down notification in the book is there to let you know that the machine will automatically handle it for you. If you hear kneading noises, they are perfectly normal and expected. We created these courses with the aim of making the bread-making process as effortless as possible for you. Just add the ingredients, and let the machine do the rest. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Thank you for the clarification. I was unaware the machine will do the "punch down" during the dough rising phase. I did not see that information in the manual or recipe book, so I appreciate the clarification. @@ZojirushiAmerica

So, how do you recommend we lubricate the shafts of our bread machine baking pans?

@@joedusel Right, the sewing machine oil may transfer to the bread and it's not food safe.
Curious why nobody bothered to 'edit' out the first dead minute of this replay. It's a standard RUclips feature for creators.

Hi there! The exact times for the preprogrammed courses for the BB-PDC20 and BB-SSC10 are proprietary information. We apologize for the inconvenience.

And for all that money it doesn’t have a fruit and nut dispenser.
Are you stupid or sum
Where would they put it with the heating element in the lid? If plastic, it would either melt or warp and if metal, it would get way too hot.
