Comparison Tefal Pain et Tresors PF250135 vs Tefal Pain Plaisir PF220838

The number of recipes and special programs (raw dough, jam, yogurt, etc.) provided in the bread machine. The larger this number, the more advanced this model is, the wider its capabilities. On the other hand, extensive functionality significantly affects the price. It is also worth considering that a specific set of programs in different models may be different; so when buying it is worth specifying not only the number of cooking modes, but also their specific list.

— Cake. The programme is designed for baking sponge cakes. Working according to the Cake programme, the bread machine creates optimal conditions for the sponge to rise well and acquire a soft porous structure.

—
— Jam. Due to the possibility of mixing and heating the product in the working chamber of the bread machine, many models allow you to cook not only bread, but also jam. For this, a special temperature regime is provided, in which more useful substances are stored than during conventional cooking over an open fire.

— Dough kneading. Programme for preparing raw dough, without subsequent baking. It is useful if you plan to cook food outside the bread machine — for example, you can make dough for pies, dumplings, etc.

— Pasta. Special kneading programme for hard dough for making homemade pasta. It is found mainly in advanced models of bread machines. Allows you to knead a thicker dough than for bread.

— Pizza.... Kneading dough as a base for pizza. The programme involves compliance with a certain recipe using yeast cultures.

— Yogurt. Programme for making yogurt at home. Milk and starter culture are loaded into the working chamber of the bread machine, after which the optimal temperature regime is maintained there for the vital activity of beneficial lactic acid bacteria.

— Cream butter. In some bread machines, it is possible to use a stirrer to whip butter from milk, cream or sour cream. The presence of such a feature is useful, in particular, because the ingredients for making butter do not have to be fresh — thus, you can buy fresh sour cream for eating, and use it for butter after standing for a while.

Regulation of the baking degree of bread and color and structure of the crust depending on individual user preferences. Someone prefer soft homemade bread, while others prefer baked goods with a crispy crust.

A viewing window in the lid of the breadmaker that allows you to see the contents of the working container without opening the lid. Through such a window, it is very convenient to monitor the cooking process, especially if cooking is carried out according to a non-standard recipe and the state of the product must be constantly monitored.

A device for automatically adding additional ingredients to the dough — raisins, seeds, nuts — directly during the cooking process. The dispenser allows you to fully automate the process of making bread, you can not be afraid to miss the right time to add additional components. Its presence is especially useful if bread is planned to be cooked at night, for breakfast.

The time during which the protection from voltage surges is active.

Many modern bread makers are equipped with such protection; during power surges it disconnects the device from the mains and suspends the programme, and when the voltage stabilizes, it starts it from the place where it stopped. The protection time is the time during which programme data can be stored in the memory of the bread maker after the protection is activated and the external power is turned off. If during this time the voltage has not leveled off and the power has not turned on, the programme is reset and the process must be started over. Thus, the longer the time specified in this paragraph, the more advanced the protection is, the lower the likelihood that the programme will have to be restarted in case of mains failures. In some models, the protection time can be up to 60 minutes.
