Description of the Kenwood BM-210 bread maker


Hello kind people!

I ask you to share your impressions and possible solutions to problems with the KENWOOD BM 210, a seemingly beautiful and practical model, but the baking is not very good. We tried various recipes (except for sourdough recipes) and programs with observance of the weight and sequence of ingredients, the bread did not look good.
My opinion is subjective, because there is not much experience, so I think it will be interesting to discuss this model and the results of its work
Best regards, Sergei.

I have kenwood 256, but I think there is not much difference. I used the first recipes from the instructions that came with the stove, and now I'm collecting recipes from forums. and what doesn't work?

Recipes have been tried by many, including from the network
the ingredients were laid down strictly according to the recipe, the dough fits well, but during baking, the top constantly falls off, and the structure of the bread looks like it is slightly not baked, although everything tastes good
maybe all because of the power of 600 watts? on 250 models it is slightly lower

Sergei, reduce the amount of yeast. If it does not help, then reduce the water, for a start by 1 tbsp. spoon. Should help. It's just that recipes from other stoves (usually given in glasses) may not fit, they need to be adapted. Each bread maker has its own measuring cup and it may not be the same size as yours. Hence the problems.

Pliz! share your proven recipes with exact dosages and I'll try to experiment with the ingredients
thanks in advance Sergey

For everyday use, I bake according to this recipe from Panasonic:
yeast 2 tsp
flour 450g
salt 2 tsp
sugar 2.5 tbsp. l.
powdered milk (optional, you can not put) 2.5 tbsp. l.
the oil grows. 30g.
water 350g.
Place in the order recommended in your bread maker.
The top has never failed.
This is for a large loaf. If necessary, I will write to the middle one.

and I like Darnitsky:
ingredients qty
warm water 300 ml
olive oil 2 tbsp l.
buckwheat honey 1 tbsp. l.
salt 1.5 tsp
yeast 1.5 tsp
wheat flour 250 gr
rye flour 150 gr
program 1 for medium loaf
if desired, you can add raisins, garlic, herbs, etc.

I did it almost well the first time, but I immediately understood what was wrong with me, because I used saf levure tremors, it seems, and therefore the bread did not rise properly and there was a very sweet smell and taste, I decided everything with taste adding not one and a half, but two teaspoons and shivers took the fermipan super 2 in 1. Everything is excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!! The bread is wonderful, I took it to work, so there the chef and the technologist were just stunned, they say they are not professional, such quality .... here ....))))

And I also have such a bread maker (I just bought it), and the bread, according to the main recipe, also sank. I was terribly upset! But the next time (thanks to your site - enlightened!) I reduced the yeast by 1/4 teaspoon (in the recipe 2 1/4 teaspoons) and added sugar to 2 tbsp. spoons - and everything turned out great!

Hello everyone, I’m new here, I’ve just had this kind of oven for about a month, every time the bread is different, sometimes the hat settles, sometimes it’s not, although every time I put everything according to the recipe. And the bread is delicious !!!!!!!!

The display is backlit only until you press start. After which it does not turn on.
Is that how it should be?

I want to buy BM210 for her birthday! How do you like the happy owners of the stove? And most importantly, what are the claims to the device?

Hello, my KENWOOD BM 210 bread maker.Where are the original recipes for baking with my bread machine? And how to combine the modes of my bread machine with the modes of the LG bread machine "Russian cook" or the modes of other bread machines. REALLY NEEDED!

The device is good (comfortable handle). The downside is the lack of a recipe book, only 4-5 indistinct in the description, but you can adapt the local ones.

I have one. Second month. No complaints. At first I also tried to avoid having recipes, but there are so many of them here ... I like the design very much. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that although the Rye regime is there, it is not entirely complete. That is, it is similar in time, but it does not have a special knife (as I understood, there should be a special knife with a hole inside for the Rye mode). And when he kneads heavy dough, it dances a little. It can dance about 30 degrees. If I put on the timer (for the morning) I remove everything that is beating half a meter around the bread machine. There is no automatic dispenser yet, due to this it is smaller. Well, nafig this automatic dispenser.

In general, I won't change it for another.

I found something on the Ukrainian website and forum. The first would not dare to use, since all measures are through the glass. The rest from the article on Kenwu (at the end of each recipe, an indication of the program).

Good luck everyone!

I have one. Second month. No complaints. At first I also tried to avoid having recipes, but there are so many of them here ... I like the design very much. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that although the Rye regime is there, it is not entirely complete.That is, it is similar in time, but it does not have a special knife (as I understood, there should be a special knife with a hole inside for the Rye mode). And when he kneads heavy dough, it dances a little. It can dance about 30 degrees. If I put on the timer (for the morning) I remove everything that is beating half a meter around the bread machine. There is no automatic dispenser yet, due to this it is smaller. Well, nafig this automatic dispenser.

In general, I won't change it for another.

So dancing? They beat off the hunt for a drink!

I don't know how others walk - this one bounces slightly (on corrugated glass, and this is not the most ideal surface for grip) does not run away. Although at the stage of the first trials, there were doubts ..... Summary - a unit that is not worth its big money.

I have been using this model since August. I didn't choose it myself, it was a surprise gift, I didn't even think about a bread maker, because they ate little bread (taking into account that 4 of us could eat a city bun for 2 days). Now I forgot what purchased bread is. I bake bread almost every day, but a small 700g loaf (I like fresh) is how we now eat bread! She does not twitch much, and even more so does not turn. Only the bucket in it twitches, but not the bread maker itself. And the friends who gave it to me, I don't remember which brand, but with 2 dough mixers, and now they are perverted with it - the dough is formed unevenly, the loaf comes out lopsided (if it is not forced to level it). And I put mine on at night and don't interfere with the process. So, I'm quite happy with my stove.

It also happened to me that the crust fell off, but for myself I realized that this was due to the fact that we have good heating and it is very hot. I put a loaf on 700g according to the basic recipe for yeast 1 with a quarter of a tsp, a little more salt than according to the recipe and pour milk directly from the refrigerator, it turns out wonderful. (I don't put dry milk, but instead of 70-80ml of water I pour fresh milk, respectively)

And I am tired of fighting with my KENWOOD BM 210! Whatever I did - I reduced the yeast, and the water began to pour less, and controlled the bun, - everything is useless! The hat fell steadily, especially on white bread. In general, I spat on everything - and bought a Panasonic 255. And, lo and behold, it turns out that the bread turns out to be high and airy - and from the very first time !!!! It turns out that it’s not me, not my crooked handles, and not that it’s hot in the apartment or drafts, but in the bread maker ... Even the structure of the bread is completely different if you bake it in Panasonic. I have all the home stunned! It turns out that the bread can be just great! And now I will try to hand over KENWOOD for repairs, maybe they will do something with it ...

Dubbing themes. Take here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...ption=com_smf&topic=348.0

No dubbing. Here people share their doubts when choosing (worth taking - not worth it), there - they solve problems after the first and not the first experiments.

And I didn't like her at all, I was disappointed in her. In addition to the beautiful design (I also bought it), I didn't find anything good in it. I was exhausted with her. And it works noisily (because of this I could not set the timer for the night), and the bread does not bake well (the top always falls off) - perhaps just because of the beautiful window above. In general, I bought another, which is very happy now. I just wrote about this in Temka today, you can read
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...tion=com_smf&topic=348.15
If someone is lucky with this stove, I'm just happy for them. But I parted with her without regret

Either you got a defective unit, or you didn't understand the recipes - you couldn't adapt - adapt.

A similar situation took place with us recently (the cap fell off), we analyzed and understood, the reason is in the wrong program. It took 2.5 - 3 hours, and we played French with all our passion, and this is almost 4. For which we paid. Now we double-check the modes, since the program numbers, even for different canwoods, do not always coincide, and for all others ...

[Ircha]

In fact, I am tormented by vague doubts that the BK-210 and BM-210 are slightly different ... I wonder why ...
Ircha
You are just great for not sitting in the bushes and watching others buy an unsuccessful model! You experience can help someone avoid your torment.
So, as they said in the USSR, you need to take an example. Let's hope that the new HP will repay you with good (after all, everything in this world is far from directly connected).

And yet, how do they differ ...

At the expense of the defective unit, it is quite possible, but at the expense of the recipes - I tried almost everything that is on the site, and adapted it to my own, do not be overwhelmed, the current is tired of tormenting with it, these problems got out. I would like to get pleasure from baking, and not daily battles with a bread maker for normal bread

[Ircha]

Ircha
How did you get Brioche?

I didn't have enough nerves for such delights! If ordinary bread did not work out well. The only bread that did not settle is with the addition of pumpkin (for some reason). And for some reason any bread crumbled a lot ... But for some reason there are no such problems with the new Panasonic

Here is my white (first photo) and rye (first experience).

Express bread making in 58min is complete bullshit. Due to the large amount of yeast, the bread stinks of them so much that it’s just horror, and still does not have time to rise, let alone bake. So there are -2 programs.
There are very few recipes, the instruction is incomprehensible, but the bread according to the main recipe is really nothing ...

That's right, let's unite and defend our little white bread-maker!

And yesterday I tried the "Jam" function according to the local recipe for strawberry jam from frozen strawberries. Only I did not find the zhelfix (well, the sellers had faces when I asked about him - December after all). It turned out very tasty (and without zhelfix) - excellent density and color. I also want to try cherry and orange.

And I am tired of fighting with my KENWOOD BM 210! And now I will try to hand over KENWOOD for repairs, maybe they will do something with it ...

My daughter started making bread in the bread maker right away. And for a month I tried to adjust to the bread maker. Moreover, her kolobok always came out without control. My husband giggled for a month over my crooked hands. And now everything turns out just super.

The worst thing, in my opinion, in this HP is the instruction. When I started to master it, I did not have the Internet, and therefore, apart from white, I did not bake anything. For half of the modes, there is no even approximate recipe. For jam, for example, how much to take - and God knows. And with the Internet, nothing is scary. Today I bought some corn flour, I will try a new recipe!

Girls! Why are you getting on me so! Well, I don't want to offend anyone's bread makers! I only wrote about mine, not about yours. After all, I suffered for a whole year with her, well, I'm really tired of her! Well, there are also defective bread makers, maybe mine is like that (but not only I had problems with falling off the top of the bread, read the first post, I did not agree with the author). Perhaps this is some kind of factory marriage. But on the other hand, I can now compare different manufacturers - and I declare with all confidence - Panasonic 255 is better! (This is also my subjective opinion, I don't want to hurt anyone). I thought that my experience might be useful to at least someone, but if my words hurt you - well, excuse me then ...

[Ircha]

Ircha
Well what are you !!! Many are grateful to you! Just trying to dot the i. I repeat! You are smart !!!
We are not discussing you, but the model!
I beg you, stop getting upset !!!
Otherwise, your new bread maker will take offense at you and stop baking good bread (I'm scaring you) !!!

Girls! Why are you getting on me so!

Bread makers can be picky;) You didn't like each other. Happy bread at Panasonic. You still need to enjoy cooking

[Ircha]

Ircha, we are not assaulting you, honestly.For example, I am generally for "world peace." I am very glad that you have a complete understanding with the new stove! We just want to rehabilitate a little our stove. It's just that not everyone can afford your 255 model. We have this, for example, costs almost 7t. r., and 210 kenwood 2740 rubles. A significant difference, especially for a novice baker who does not yet know how much he needs HP at all. She may be super, but many do not need special bells and whistles. For example, I baked bread for 3 months according to the instructions, did not follow the bun, and put it on at night, but now I read here, bake and get nervous: how is my bun

I wouldn't buy Panasonic for 7000 thousand either. I found it by chance in an online store for 5450 rubles, and even brought it home - generally happiness !!! And so everything in Chelyabinsk is expensive here too ...

2 aynat

Share your experience and tell us what were the results at the time when you baked according to the recipes of a bread machine and did not bother with a bun. Did it work? And then the same problems ... every time we worry, although we have no real marriage. Maybe you need to live easier?

That's right, it's easier. ... After all, this is not us for the stove, but it is for us.

In principle, there were no particular failures. There were 2 curiosities for an inexperienced internet-free baker.
1- my 1 nighttime bread on the timer. In the instructions for the stove, it is not written anywhere that yeast, salt, sugar must be poured in different corners, so that the yeast does not get wet .. I had nothing to do with yeast before, well, I sprinkled everything together. It's a pity I didn't think to photograph the bread - it was so low, and around the entire perimeter there was such a rather high, even side (3-4cm approximately), with a little finger thick. Well, she laughed, consulted with friends, they just bought the stove, they studied all their instructions (a large one, color) and now everything is fine.
2- my first rye bread according to the instruction (which was not there). According to the recipe for whole grain, instead of whole grain, I poured rye flour. Well, here even the bun didn’t mess up, it’s a brick. And with the recipe, something completely different, you can try.
I bake almost several recipes, buy the simplest flour 165r / 10kg (and then here on the Nordic forum, improved Nastya ...). I noticed that she takes a little less liquid, made an amendment and somehow I no longer bother. Well, I can’t treat the way some people write: 214gr. something, 67gr. I don’t even have electronic scales ... I’m such a consumer. Well, if you create something new, then of course you need to follow ...

Thank you! You are well done. But the recipe book (as I understand it) was for another unit? Or - are there any lucky owners of 210 models with a BOOK OF RECIPES?

I have a VM 200 with a recipe book. I've tried half of the recipes. There was no website yet. I didn't follow the kolobok. Everything worked out without problems. And the site has brought a large number of new recipes into our life.

The recipe book was from another manufacturer, so beautiful, with glossy leaves ... But I bake on my HP, but my friends don't - their HP has 2 mixers and the bread turns out to be very uneven. A friend was upset and now starts it only when there is time to sit next to her and monitor, level ... But she works a lot, but on business trips. In short, they will soon overgrow their HP with cobwebs, and after all, she chose it for so long and carefully, and they gave me quite suddenly. Maybe if I faced such a problem, I would not use it so often either. I should know where to lay the straws ... And we will find the recipes here too. On the agenda are corn and dairy.

Hello everybody! Maybe someone has a recipe book for the Kenwood BM-210 stove in e-mail. kind? We bought a stove and we didn't have a recipe book in the box. Thank in advance

Good day! Help us please, we recently purchased a Kenwood 210 gt stove.
The first bread turned out to be great, although they used milk instead of water. Now the bread fits well, but at the very end of baking, the top of the bread falls off and the bread crumbles very much. Tell us the reasons for this or advise something.
Thank you in advance

If the bun is normal, try to reduce the amount of yeast by 1/4 tsp and see what happens, apparently the bread is very suitable during the rise, for example, for me, each type of yeast requires its own tab (Pacmaya raises the most). Adjust the amount of yeast once and everything will be fine. And what are these letters gt? the third modification of the 210 model? Who has VK, who has VM, and here is gt

Nobody has BK, it's just that we have inattentive clubs

By the way, if the bread is very suitable, and baking is not yet soon, you can turn off the program and immediately turn on mode 12 - baking. Conversely, if baking is coming soon, and the bread does not fit well, turn off the program and turn on the 12-baking mode when you see fit. (this advice is suitable if you are at home while making bread)
