LG HB-2001BY bread maker review

The model of the LG HB-2001BY bread machine is currently one of the most popular - thanks, first of all, to a large number of functions provided by the manufacturer. Its possibilities are much wider than baking bread and bakery products.

However, it is worth starting the review with the main purpose of the bread maker - making delicious homemade bread. LG HB-2001BY is capable of making several types of it (the "Russian Chef" program) - pumpkin, rye, mustard, sour cream and Easter cake. All LG bread machines are equipped with a similar program, which undoubtedly distinguishes them favorably against the background of competitors' models. Bread baking time with this program is 3 hours 40 minutes. In addition, there is a function "Basic bread" (also 3 hours 40 minutes), which allows you to make other types of baked goods - for example, orange, dill or milk bread.

The “Quick Bake” option allows you to prepare dessert bread with coffee, chocolate or poppy seeds relatively quickly (within two hours). Caring housewives will also appreciate the ability to bake cupcakes in one hour and ten minutes (chocolate, marble, poppy, white), recipes for which, like many others, can be found in the manual for using the bread maker. You can choose the weight of baked bread (five hundred, seven hundred grams or kilogram), as well as the color of the crust. There is also a function to keep the baked bread warm for three hours. Housewives are also offered the "Dough" mode (high-quality kneading within one hour), which allows you to prepare dough for pies, rolls or pizza without baking.

However, this device is capable not only of baking aromatic bread, but also of preparing many other products. Of course, New Year's salads he will not do it, but he is quite capable of providing a family with a full and delicious homemade breakfast. For example, the model is equipped with a program for making several types of jam - cherry, apple, apricot, orange, blueberry. In addition, the LG HB-2001BY has a function for making homemade yogurt. To do this, the kit includes a plastic container, which must be filled with the necessary ingredients, installed in the bread maker and select the appropriate program and fermentation time (7-8 hours).

Start breakfast with healthy yoghurt and continue with an appetizing slice of bread spread with fresh butter - this is an opportunity provided by South Korean producers. Pour the cream into a special dish and select the "Oil" program. A delicious homemade product will be prepared in an hour. True, it should be said that such a solution is not economical - more than two hundred milliliters of cream will make no more than one hundred grams of butter. You can also cook butter from fatty sour cream - in this case, not only the cooking time will be reduced, but also the consumption (from two hundred and fifty grams of sour cream, about two hundred grams of oil are obtained, according to consumers' reviews).

Of the shortcomings, users note, perhaps, only one - an inconvenient measuring cup - it is narrow, so there are certain problems with washing. In addition, there is no dispenser for the automatic filling of additional ingredients, such as raisins. True, for many housewives this is not a serious drawback, since the absence of a dispenser can significantly reduce the cost of the device, and it is not difficult to add the necessary components of delicious bread to the dough by a sound signal. In general, the reviews are positive - many housewives consider the LG HB-2001BY bread maker to be a real home assistant in preparing tasty and healthy products and dishes.
