The Sturdiwheat Golden Grain was the first bread tested and dried out (crack in loaf) by the last day of testing, though it is still representative of size and crust thickness.

Test Notes:
This machine had the most consistent great results and was also the easiest to use. Each of the Sturdiwheat loaves baked perfectly and had a nice crust that was true to the medium setting. As you can see the Ole’s Wild Rice Bread came out very large, it was actually touching the lid about ¾ of the way through the cycle. It may have produced a nice dome as well if it had the room! It seems this machine is not available now and we will be testing another comparable Breadman soon to see if produces similar results.
We are currently testing several of the top selling bread machines and will be posting the results in the very near future. Here is a list of the machines included in the first round of tests:
- Panasonic Bread Bakery SD-YD250
- Breadman Pro TR875
- Breadman Ultimate Plus
- Breadman Corner Bakery TR888
- Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme BBCC-X20
- West Bend 41026
- Cuisinart CBK-200
Please post suggestions of models you would like to see us test in the next round.
