Brand 3801 bread machine review

Mcooker: best recipes Brand bread makers

The Russian trade mark Brand appeared relatively recently on the world market. Interestingly, manufacturers are smart about the release of their household appliances, they give each new model to the girls for testing, then they write on the forums all the disadvantages of a particular model and by this the manufacturer tries to improve its product. The Brand 3801 bread maker was also tested on the forums. This is what attracted me to this brand, since their goal is not to hide the flaws, but to reveal them.


DESCRIPTION OF THE BREADMaker


Brand 3801In appearance, the stove looks like a neat, compact device. The design of the stove is nice! It easily fits on the table, if you use it constantly, you should provide for a separate place for it in the kitchen, since it will be inconvenient to pull it out of the distant drawers all the time. She weighs 6.5 kg. The body is plastic, white. The top of the bread maker is made of metal, but when using it, I noticed that with light pressure, the top flexes slightly.
At the top in the center of the bread maker there is a removable hinged lid with a viewing window. The manufacturer planned this window in order to watch the operation of the device, although when using the bread maker nothing is visible in the window, you need to shine through yourself with a flashlight.
Next to the cover, on top, is the control panel with the installed display. The control panel consists of seven buttons. The buttons are large and convex, easy to press. For convenience, all program names are placed around the display on the cover.
One bucket with a non-stick coating is installed inside the oven.
The instruction is in Russian, very detailed. Since I am a recent owner of this bread machine, easy instruction in my native language was very important for me. Therefore, I can say with confidence that a beginner will easily understand how to use the oven.

I was very pleased with the unique manual setting mode, which will allow you to independently select and program all the baking stages. Thanks to this mode, you can use a huge variety of recipes - from the simplest to the most complex.


The Brand 3801 bread maker has a built-in scale. For me personally, this is very convenient, because in order to bake really good bread, you need to accurately measure all the ingredients. At first, I could not use the scales without pulling them out of the container, since the button for turning them on is on the side. Then I was prompted by a friend who has the same bread makerthat the scales must be turned so that this button is in a special recess! I was also worried if the scales would be affected by heating during baking - after repeated use, I can say with confidence that everything is in order with the scales.


There is one more nuance that is not indicated in the instructions -
Before using the balance, be sure to remove the separator plate in the battery compartment.
In this model it is also possible to select the weight of the baked goods - 500g, 750g and the maximum weight - 1000g.
For more efficient use of the bread maker, there is an automatic heating up to 1 hour and a delayed cooking up to 15 hours.
Another very useful function is to save the program during a power outage for up to 7 minutes, so you can not be afraid of interruptions in the electrical system.
If you have not yet reached the skills of baking bread, the ability to choose the color of the baking crust: light / medium / dark is very useful to you.
In general, the Brand 3801 bread maker turned out to be quite decent in terms of capabilities, a good combination of price and quality.


Of the pros:
- the temperature of each of the three dough rises and the baking temperature are adjustable
- the scales are already included and for the same money (!)
- bakes the top of baked goods very well
- kneads very hard, you can't even say that the power is only 450 W
- very pleasant smell of baked bread from the first bake
- no extraneous chemical odors of plastic, etc.


Minuses:
- irrationality of the viewing window on the lid of the bread machine - nothing is visible when the device is operating
- the bread maker works a little noisy, although this is fully compensated by active kneading (it even kneads well rye dough)
