Breadman TR2500BC Ultimate Plus 2-Pound Breadmaker

The look of this simply-styled breadmaker could be very deceiving. While all other products rely on style for marketing purposes, the Breadman TR2500BC Ultimate Plus 2-Pound Stainless-Steel Convection Breadmaker has it on its features. The breadmaker has a 2-lb capacity – just perfect for your baking needs.

But it’s not the capacity that makes this product stand out, nor the three-shade crust and the 16 baking functions. Other breadmakers also have those. It’s the patented automatic fruit and nut dispenser and the convection fan that make this one special. Using the automatic fruit and nut dispenser, the breadmakers sees to it that the job is done (garnishing and last minute touches!). And the convection fan acts as a savior when it comes to achieving that even baking that you think is impossible to do. This helps by circulating the air evenly inside the breadmaker.

Customer Reviews

Love It
Received it about a week and half ago. So far I have made seven loaves of bread. I started with the basic white and tried the French bread today. At the 1.5 lb setting it looked as if it was going to hit the glass! The first loaf was not stellar, but I did the standard adds of lecithin and gluten and the loaves are fluffy and chewy. I'm looking forward to doing the sourdough bread - I love sourdough. Being in California in the San Francisco area it's a staple in many households. The paddle stuck in the bread and then I remembered to oil the paddle. That tactic works like a charm. I also read certain tactics such as don't use iodized salt, sea salt is preferable because the iodine acts as an inhibitor to the yeast. It's not noisy but it is a machine that is kneading bread so you will hear something when it's slapping the dough around. It also looks nice, not that horrible white/off white color. The stainless/black really adds a nice touch. The controls are easy to figure out - self explanatory, choose loaf size, choose crust (light/med/dark) choose bread from a variety of selections white/wheat/French/etc etc. It comes with a book that walks you through the steps such as how to add the ingredients, and has quite a few recipes for both regular gluten bread and gluten free recipes. I opt for the gluten in the bread lol but some day I'll try the gluten free just to see what the hype is all about. Oh also, if you add butter instead of oil to the white bread, the flavor is wonderful, also be sure to add a little more butter than oil. For example if you're supposed to add two tablespoons of oil, add two and a half/three of butter. Can't remember the reason why but it works. Also, get butter for baking as the regular butter has a lower heating point than oil or baking butter so crust may bet more brown than you'd like.

Here are a couple of photos. White bread, French bread rising really high, fresh baked French bread and tada the paddle didn't get stuck in the loaf. But, do beware that the paddle will be difficult to get out of the pan now because there is baked dough around it. Let everything cool down and soak it for a few minutes in warm water, that will release it.

Bottom line, this is a machine and it should be treated accordingly. All machines need to be taken care of and kept clean for optimum performance. I highly recommend it!Penny

Great Machine can do a lot of things.
This machine can be used for many things, I mostly use it to make yeast rolls, dump the ingredients in and let it run its cycle and all you have to do is cut them out let them rise and bake. They turn out wonderful. I will try out some of the recipes in the excellent cookbook that came with it! I am very busy and this product makes it easy to make some really good bread while you are doing something else!jody4998

Anyone can bake tasty bread with this baby
I'm a 58 year old guy and tried making homade bread a couple of weeks ago. Mixing the dough was a real chore. It turned out ok, but the amount of work wasn't worth it, so I decided to order this breadmaker. The first time I used it, it was so easy. Just add the ingredients to the pan, in the right order and closely measured, make your selections and hit the start button. Acouple of hours later, it's all done and you got something hot waiting for consumption. The more I use it, the easier it seems to get. I've made White Bread, 100% Wheat Bread, Corn Bread and Fruit and Nut Bread. The Wheat Bread was a lot better tasting than any store bought I have ever triedRenegade1400

Great Breadman Product.
I ordered this breadmaker to replace my old one and it works great. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to make their own bread.buzdo

It bakes an amazing loaf of bread.
Bought this about 2 weeks ago. It makes a great 1 lb loaf because there is just the 2 of us. We bake it every other day.Elaine

Bread man !
The bread man is perfect!! It's s little tricky to understand to how to program. Having no display light makes it tough to read the program. But I love making bread! Best machine for it!Sammy

Looks great on counter. Works great w/ my recipe.
This is my second bread machine from breadman. I purchased this identical machine almost exactly one year ago. I make bread almost everyday, sometimes twice per day, so I know that this machine does get a workout. It is a beautiful machine and it looks good in my kitchen. It is always on the counter, because I always use it. My only problem with it is that I was hoping that it would last for longer than a year. But I was familiar with it, and I had spare parts from the last one, so I did end up buying breadman again.The Mommy

The bread turned out great. I had set the timer, but it never started and I had to manually start the breadmachine. The biggest problem I have is the display. It is hard to read. It took quite a few tries before I could make my first loaf of bread because the back light is so dim. The machine is very lightweight compared to my last breadmaker. I had my last one for 20 years, we will see how long this one lasts, I make bread a few times a week, I hope it holds upRascal6

Too much work for Gluten Free bread
I purchased this to make the process of baking gluten-free bread easier. Thought I could just mix the liquid ingredients, pour in; then whisk the dry ingredients and pour in...set on Gluten-free and have great bread in a short time. That did not happen. I had to putter with the dough while it was kneading and it took 3 hours to finish. And even then it was not baked enough. I had to add another 15 minutes of just BAKE to get the internal temperature to 205 degrees. So for me it was not worth the effort or money. I can do it faster with a Kitchenaid mixer and a toaster oven.GlutenFreeEater
