Vertical loaf pans in bread makers were rampant in the early days. Today, horizontal baking pans are taking over. The Breadman TR2500C Ultimate Plus Breadmachine has an easy to manage horizontal baking pan with a removable lid that comes with a see through viewing window so you can look on as ingredients are being mixed or when the dough is being kneaded.
Unfortunately, you do really need to look in on what the TR2500C is doing since sometimes; the pan is unstable and gets unhinged from the holders. Time and again, these holders have to be adjusted or bent and it being stainless steel, there is a tendency for it to snap and get broken.
One review did mention that while she was relocking the pan on its hinges, the bread came out as a mess of half mixed and cooked through bread. This almost happened to me so do be careful. The TR2500C has a fruit, nut and herb dispenser. It supposedly adds these ingredients in at the right time and informs you with a beep. Sadly, the dispensing action isn’t strong enough and in most cases, ingredients like raisins or herbs stick to the dispenser and I had to do the scraping off and adding on myself.
Kneading cycles are pretty noisy with this bread maker too. It seems stainless steel doesn’t diffuse sound well as other bread makers aren’t as noisy as this.
However, a good addition to the TR2500C is its convection feature. It really does get you beautiful baking results. Most of the bread baked with this bread maker comes out with a crispy crust. If you are one of those people who like breaking off bread crusts and smothering it with butter, this bread maker can give you well baked crispy crust. It’s amazing that just this one aspect contributes to so much to baking something more scrumptious.
This bread maker also has settings for baking gluten free breads or low carb breads. If you are some kind of a health buff, this bread maker is a very helpful piece of technology. It can also knead pizza or pasta dough, bagel or cake batter. Cornmeal bread and spoon breads are a part of its programs too.
Breadman TR2500C Ultimate Plus Bread Machine at a glance
Pros
- Convection fan feature making crispier delicious crusts
- Good for making gluten free breads
- Less expensive than the new model
Cons
- Pan would pop and unlock from the holders which have to be bent and adjusted
- Noisy kneading cycle
- Dispenser doesn’t dispense ingredients well
- You have to keep an eye on the bread maker which defeats the purpose of having a bread machine in the first place
If crispier crusts are all that matter to you in baking bread, this would be an okay bread maker to have. It is less expensive than the new model but in taking a step back and looking at things as a whole, the Breadman TR2500C Ultimate Plus Bread Machine would actually be costing you more, even giving you mental anguish. It would be better to buy the upgraded version, the Breadman TR2700 Programmable Convection Bread Maker.
