APPEARANCE ASSESSMENT: the device is enclosed in a plastic case. The inner surface is made of stainless steel. Closer to its base there is a tube of the heating element. In the center of the bottom there is a drive for the bucket, to which it is attached by turning it clockwise. There are no additional fasteners, but they are not even necessary - the container is attached very firmly to the drive.

The bucket is also made of steel, the inner surface has a non-stick coating. It is equipped with a metal handle for removing the container from the oven after the end of cooking.

The cover of the device is not removable. Has a wide viewing window made of heat-resistant plastic and a ventilation grill underneath. There are grilles on both sides of the case.

The front panel of the bread maker has an electronic control panel: black buttons on a gray background. Above the buttons is a liquid crystal display. Arrows on it show the weight of the device and the color of the crust, numbers - the program number and the total baking time. Above the display is a list of all programs with numbers, so that you don't have to look into the instructions every time or keep this information in your head.

The weight of the device is quite large, so there are special recesses on the bottom of the case for more convenient movement of the device from place to place.

Clatronic BBA 2605 bread machine analysisQUALITY OF WORK: 12 oven programs allow you not only to bake different types of bread, but also to simply knead the dough, as well as cook marmalade and confiture. The programs "pie" and "sandwich" have a conventional name. The first is intended for baking with the addition of baking powder, the second is for making crumbly bread for sandwiches. The “Bake with a crispy crust” program is an additional program: if after the end of work the baked goods are not considered crispy enough and you want a crispy crust, then when this program is activated, additional time is activated.

CONVENIENCE OF OPERATION: during the operation of the bread maker, a sound signal sounds twice. The first time it sounds during the second kneading and warns that you can add nuts, grains or fruits to the dough, the second time - at the end of work. As a reminder, the signal sounds several times during preheating after the end of baking.

Since baking bread in an oven requires strict adherence to proportions, the manufacturers included a measuring cup for measuring flour and milk and two measuring spoons equal to a teaspoon and a tablespoon for measuring yeast, oil, salt and sugar.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: At the end of the program, the bread bucket must be removed from the oven using gloves or oven mitts and turned upside down to remove the baked goods from the container. If the mixing paddle remains in the bread, you can use the supplied hook to remove it.

You can use both fresh and dry yeast for baking. If you set a timer for the morning in the evening, then you can only use powdered milk, fresh milk can turn sour, and then the dough will not work.

This model is more designed for making bread from a ready-made dry mixture, which is problematic to find even in large Moscow stores. Therefore, consumers are much more likely to use natural products. And here the main attention should be paid to the quality of flour. It is desirable that it be from an import supplier or correspond to the type 405, 550 or 1050.

INSTRUCTION: The instruction manual is detailed but a little confusing. In some places, the same information is repeated twice. The instruction begins with security measures, followed by a section with an explanation of all control buttons. And only then comes information about the functions of the oven, programs and its capabilities.After the section on cleaning and caring for the appliance, there is an item with questions that arise during baking, then notes on the recipes, and then the recipes themselves in the amount of 11 pieces.

There are many practical tips in the manual, some of which are very curious, for example that "if you live above 750 m above sea level, then your dough will rise faster."

CARE AND STORAGE: The appliance can be washed only after it has completely cooled down. The bucket and the mixing paddle can be washed under water, but without immersing the container in it, otherwise the protective layer may dissolve and the baked goods will begin to stick to the walls in the future. The rest of the oven elements (body, lid and inner surface) can only be wiped with a damp cloth.

 

SUMMARY

ADVANTAGES: a large number of baking programs, the ability to adjust the weight and color of the crust, the presence of a timer and automatic heating.

LIMITATIONS: minimum baking capacity 750 g. The fixed lid can make it difficult to clean the inside and the lid of the appliance.

GENERAL ASSESSMENT: very easy-to-use device, affordable and at the same time rich in various programs and functions.
