Product Description
Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Bakery with 4 Baking Modes
Amazon.com Review
Providing myriad options, this automatic bread maker embodies the marvels of 21st century electronic convenience and choice. Yes, it mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread in three loaf sizes up to 2-1/2 pounds. But its digital controls go much further, offering settings for white, whole wheat, multigrain, and French (crisp crust, open texture) breads, each made according to what's best for that particular style. Other settings permit rapid baking and baking sandwich bread with a soft crust. For raisin (or other dried-fruit) bread, a beeper signals when to add the fruit so it's not crushed during kneading. Crust color--dark or light--can be selected as well. The machine automatically adds yeast at the proper time from a dispenser on the unit's lid. It also bakes non-yeast, quick breads-- like banana and gingerbread--and sweet cakes. And it mixes, kneads, and rises doughs for pizza, focaccia, croissants, and other pastries without baking them. A timer permits the machine to be programmed up to 13 hours in advance so fresh bread or cake is available for breakfast or dinner. For cleanup convenience, the baking pan is nonstick. Clad in metal and packing 550 watts of power, the machine measures 14 inches wide, 13.5 inches high, and 9 inches deep. Its instruction booklet is exceptionally easy to understand and includes recipes for 40 breads and doughs along with an insightful guide to baking basics and illustrated tips for making pastries. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer There's nothing quite like the warm aroma of freshly baked homemade bread from the oven. With the help of this user-friendly bread machine, even those with a busy, on-the-go schedule can enjoy this simple pleasure--without the time-consuming hard work normally associated with baking bread. Just add ingredients, press a few buttons, and it takes care of the rest. 
Soft-touch control panel with LCD digital display and 13-hour preset timer. |
Easily Bake Bread or Create Dough
Bake loaves of white or whole wheat bread for slicing and slathering with butter and jam or for making sandwiches. Create croissant or pizza dough for shaping by hand and baking in the oven. Make the classic fruitcake to serve during the holidays. From basic recipes to custom creations, the bread machine produces delicious results--and without the additives and preservatives found in store-bought brands. A recipe book with over 50 original bread and dough recipes comes included. Customizable Settings
The unit's top-access, soft-touch, push-button control panel with an LCD digital display helps ensure easy programming. Choose from three different loaf sizes (medium, large, or extra large) and the crust color (light, medium, or dark). It also offers up to six different types of bread or dough options--Basic, Whole Wheat, Multi-Grain, French, Pizza, and Cake. Baking modes include Bake Only (great for fruitcakes, gingerbread, and teacakes); Rapid Bake (reduces the baking time of basic and whole-wheat breads); Raisin (offers an audible beep to signal when to add raisins, dried fruits, or nuts into the dough); and Sandwich (produces bread with a soft crust). Dough modes include Pizza, Rolls, and Raisin Dough. Best of all, the appliance comes equipped with a digital timer, which can be set up to 13 hours in advance--great for waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread. Or set the timer before leaving for work in the morning so that a warm loaf will be ready and waiting after a long day at the office. Simply slice it up and serve with dinner.  |  | | Choose from 3 loaf sizes and 3 crust shades from light to dark. |
Healthy and Nutritious
Baking bread at home allows for ultimate control over the finished product. By using only the freshest ingredients and making choices between a variety of options, homemade bread can be an important part of a well-balanced diet--for both young and older family members alike. High in fiber and low in fat, bread contains a wealth of beneficial components. It provides complex carbohydrates needed for energy, protein for strong muscles, and vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron for healthy bones and teeth. Add nutrient-rich eggs to the recipe or choose whole-grain flour for an extra boost of fiber, iron, vitamins, and minerals. Mixing in nuts and dried fruits not only add to the pleasing consistency and taste of the finished product, but they're also another way to add to the overall health factor. 
Yeast dispenser automatically adds yeast at optimal time to ensure perfect results. |
Ultimate Convenience
Thoughtfully designed, the bread machine also supplies a YeastPro automatic yeast dispenser. Just add a measured amount of yeast into the holder on the unit's lid, and the machine will automatically dispense the yeast in with the other ingredients at the perfect time for optimal results. Even more, the unit's inner bake pan comes fitted with a wire handle (use an oven mitt when hot) for easily removing it from the appliance when the bread has finished baking. The pan's nonstick coating allows baked bread to slide easily out of the pan onto a cutting board or a wire rack to fully cool for easier slicing. 
Inner bake pan offers built-in handle and nonstick coating for effortless bread removal. |
Unique Design for Professional Results
Unlike other bread machines, the unit does not offer a viewing window. The absence of a viewing window allows a more even reflection of heat inside the unit, which offers the following three advantages: excellent crust, good rising, and even color. The machine also benefits from a unique temperature-control program that automatically optimizes the temperatures and times for each stage of the process. Its comprehensive microprocessor program makes slight adjustments as needed to ensure perfectly baked bread regardless of conditions like climate and room temperature. 
Panasonic delivers excellent results regardless of different types of ingredients used, different seasons, and different room temperatures. |
In addition to the recipe book, accessories include a measuring spoon, a measuring cup, and a kneading blade that fits onto the base of the inner pan for thoroughly mixing ingredients. Other highlights include a top-loading locking lid, a handy indicator light to show when the baking or dough cycle has completed, a safety fuse for peace of mind, and power-interruption protection that allows the baking process to resume even when there's an interruption in power for approximately 10 minutes or less. All parts should be hand washed only. The small appliance comes in a compact design that fits neatly on the kitchen countertop. Keep it out for everyday use or store it on a shelf or in the pantry when finished. Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the 550-watt bread machine measures 13-3/8 by 9-1/16 by 14 inches, weighs about 15 pounds, and carries a one-year limited warranty.

 Great bread maker July 30, 2010
Wii oldtyme player (Mexico MO)
This bread maker lives up to the high reviews.
We have baked over 6 loaves, and have used the dough cycle a few times. We almost bought the Z brand but for the cost it was not justified. This is a nice Bread Machine and the paddle does not stay in the bread after cooking .
great bread maker for the price July 27, 2010
William Seavey (Bangor, ME USA)
I have been making all of my bread for about 7 years with a Breadman Pro bread maker that finally broke after making approximately 700 loaves of bread. I decided to buy this Panasonic bread maker after some research. I have made about 10 loaves of bread so far, and it works very well. My main purpose for making bread is for toast and sandwiches. The regular loaf setting made very tall loaves of bread, but this bread maker has a "sandwich" setting that makes smaller loaves that are perfect for me. I have to say that it is very easy to use and makes very good bread. I would recommend it to a friend.
Better than ever! July 26, 2010
Cheech Wizard (Stamford, CT USA)
I bought this machine to replace a 15-year old Panasonic. Panasonic has a decades-long history of building rugged, reliable mechanical products (in the old days, VCRs and tape machines, more recently, CD and DVD players, bathroom fans, microwave ovens.) Anyone and everyone builds inexpensive consumer products, but Panasonic makes them actually work reliably. Whenever I'm looking for a consumer product that has moving parts, I always go to them.
So back to this machine....I use it primarily as a dough maker for pizza. The old machine took 2 1/2 hours. This one does pizza dough in 45 minutes. I use the same recipe, and not only do I get dough faster, but the dough is much better to work with, and crips up very nicely. Can't imagine that the machine would make that much difference, but it does.
Have made a few loaves of bread, and they are perfect every time.
Looking forward to using this for the next 15 years.
 Amazon Has Great Service July 23, 2010
TrueReview (USA)
My first machine didn't work properly. I called Panasonic for help but they are worthless. I only made two loaves of bread before it malfunctioned and they wanted me to drive 125 miles one way to have a service center look at it (or ship at my expense).....after only two loaves! Panasonic has the worse customer service I have ever seen in my 47 years. They just don't care. Amazon on the other hand, was great. Long story short.....I exchange my machine for a new one (same model) and it was on my doorstep in two days. The exchange process was quick and easy. The new machine has made about ten loaves so far and works great. Great job Amazon!
Quiet breadmaker July 18, 2010
G. Loftus (VA)
This Panasonic bread maker is great for making bread in Large, XL, or Medium and from light to dark loaves. The only problem I have is with the recipes. How does a person measure every thing in 7/16 or 3/ 16 ounces. Using the cup and spoon that is with the bread maker is not always helpful in measuring. Learn how to do the 16th and your loaves will be delicious. I hate doing math when cooking!!( I would rather have the Cups and TBS or Tsp measurement.
