Everyone has been saying that comment to me for years. As a matter of fact, someday, I want to do voice work for radio and television stations all over the country.
I mailed my daughter my HB-B201 because I own a Cuisinart 200. I missed the Hitachi so much that I just now bought an HB-B301 off of ebay. Hitachi equals quality, imo.
Currently, there is an explosion of manuals available for older bread machines on EBAY. I just now bought a print version of the HB-B301. But there are many, many others.
That's a good question because even though I don't usually do it, you can do so to prevent large holes in the bottom of your bread. You can use a timer to measure the time between when the bread machine starts and the final rise begins. However, it depends on the model you have.
Hi, there. Those questions you asked me are good ones. 1. Yes, there is a small hole in the bread because of the kneading blade. However, most of the time, the bread slides out without it. 2. I don't know exactly how old this model is, but if I had to guess, I'd say that this model was manufactured in the mid to late 1990s.
@@tristangardner3889 Hi Tristan, Thanks for answering. I was given the exact same by a friend few days ago, it had been forgotten in storage for ages. Had no idea how to use it, very useful video. Do you happen to have a manual in pdf by any chance?
Try this one. It has the HB-201 manual instead of the HB-301 model. It works the same, but it makes rice instead of jam. The way this manual describes how to make bread should work the same way. multimedia.cx/Hitachi_HB_B201_Manual.pdf
The baking process takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, but the cycle itself is 4 hours and 10 minutes. I don't remember exactly how many pounds this loaf made, but since it was my first loaf, it was smaller than normal, so it might have been half a pound. A large loaf is approximately one pound and an extra-large loaf is approximately a pound and a half to two pounds. I'll have to read through the manual to see the exact measurements. I'll get back to you when I do.
Hello again. I have the approximate loaf sizes in pounds. Small loaf: 1/2 pound. Medium loaf: 1 pound Large loaf: 1 1/2 pounds Extra Large loaf: 2 pounds I hope this helps.
In my machine, It's not necessary to take out the kneading blade. It may be hot while the machine is baking the bread, but that's to be expected, so I don't believe that's cause for concern. Is your kneading blade still usable?
In ANY bread machine, you can take out the mixing blade (paddle) immediately after the last mixing/kneading/degassing/etc. so that you are not disturbing the final rising before the baking. If you have the manual, you can figure this out by looking at the schedule given for that chosen cycle. If you don't have the manual you can bake a loaf from beginning to end but take careful notes of what happens at what times. Then on your second try, refer to those notes to determine when you've reached the point where the shaft will no longer be moving from that point on, and at that moment, take the blade/paddle out and reshape the loaf for that final rise.
I know the cups to grams/mL conversion sounds crazy, but here are the best estimates: Small loaf of white bread: 88.7 mL or 88.72 grams of water 88.7 mL or 88.72 grams of fresh milk 473 mL or 250.31 grams of all-purpose flour (or if you use bread flour, 260.25 grams of bread flour. Bread flour works better because it helps give the bread a much better texture) 4.9 mL or 4.92 grams of salt 29.6 mL or 28.42 grams of sugar 14.8 mL 14.18 grams of butter 4.9 mL or 4.92 grams of dry yeast. I used multiple sources on the Internet to try and figure out the conversions. I hope they help. I plan to make an updated bread video at some point in the near future, and in the next one, I'll make whole wheat bread.
Actually, I haven't missed it at all. I actually have a podcast on Podbean.com. it's called Tristan's Story Time. It's where I read children's stories from picture books to fairy tales to fables to poetry. Music and sound effects are included with each story.
Hello. I appreciate you reaching out. I just want to make sure that we understand that I'd like to have responsible comments in the future. However, since you pointed it out, I made a brief video of some of the buttons on my bread machine. They may not answer all of your questions, but they answer a lot of them. If you have any further questions, you can comment on that video. The link is here: th-cam.com/video/sinrqUzHw9Q/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much for making this video. I'm using my bread machine for the 1st time and it really helped to know what this machine was doing.
I'm glad this video was able to help you out.
You have a good voice very professional sounding. I think you should be an audiobook reader

Thank you for explaining the process very helpful.
Anytime.
Thanks, Tristan, for the introduction to the HB B101 that I'm going to dust off from my mother in law's garage!
I tried making bread with the video u shared,and I must say it turned out great.my first time and it tasted delicious.thank u
I'm glad the video helped you. I plan to make another one in the near future.
Thanks! I just purchased one of these from the Thrift store and it didn’t come with the instructions. Great video!😊
I'm glad this video was useful to you.

Could you send me a copy?
Do you have to take the paddle out before it bakes?
That's a good question because even though I don't usually do it, you can do so to prevent large holes in the bottom of your bread. You can use a timer to measure the time between when the bread machine starts and the final rise begins. However, it depends on the model you have.
Is the machine heavy?
It's about ten pounds, give or take a loaf of bread.
What about the bottom of the bread? Does it have a hole when is baked because of the rotator?
Hi, there.
Those questions you asked me are good ones.
1. Yes, there is a small hole in the bread because of the kneading blade. However, most of the time, the bread slides out without it.

Tristan Gardner I’d of said more like 1988/89.
Awesome..

I can't get the pan in right bc the pan alarm ok reps coming on why?
That's an excellent question. Have you been putting the pan in sideways by any chance? If you have, that could be your problem.
I have the Hitachi 2 break maker... When do you take out the blade? my blade got cooked into my 1st loaf.

Would you write the loaf's recipe (in grams and ml) please..
I have the vintage bread machine too, but i've lost the recipe book.
I know the cups to grams/mL conversion sounds crazy, but here are the best estimates:
Small loaf of white bread:
88.7 mL or 88.72 grams of water
88.7 mL or 88.72 grams of fresh milk

That's okay. I understand. It's frustrating when there are so many buttons and you don't know what they do.
А на русском слабо?
Too much time consuming, it's better to buy bread of reputable companies out there...!!!
