However, cherishing the freshness of bread is not out of reach-bake them; and you don’t need an oven. A good recipe from the widely available and a good bread maker is all you need.

Why I recommend Kent atta maker: kent atta maker and bread maker 550 w review

• Mr. Versatile.
• Self-explanatory one-touch control panel.
• Hassle-free cleaning.

Kent has designed this appliance keeping in mind every user. It has a user-interface self-explanatory control panel with prominent touch buttons and an LCD.

These features make the appliance perfect for a beginner.

Now, let’s talk about the add-on features. The lid features a viewing window from where you can watch every step and vertical heat-releasing vents, which also fill the kitchen with a delicious aroma.

Performance

• Impressive result.
• Perfect crust.
• Auto-bake.

It has been a couple of months since I have been using this atta and bread maker, and I have to say the performance is quite impressive.

It is an easy-to-use appliance delivering consistent results; I have made bread of different types, customized the flavors and textures, and baked cakes, and all turned out so great, even the dough for chappati or poori! It’s hygienic and tasty at the same time.

The adjustable timer is a delay timer using which you can auto-set the appliance- add the ingredients and set the timer, and indulge in delicious hot oven-fresh bread at the breakfast table or after a hectic day at work.

To test how perfect the crust forms: I set the crust setting to my favorite medium. Surprisingly, it came out fluffy and spongy with a slightly crispy golden brown crust. You can set it to light, medium, dark, and fruit. You can make a loaf of 500gm, 750gm, and 1 kg in it.

Installation & Setup

• Setup in less than 10 minutes.
• Include attachments.

Being a plug-in appliance, anyone can set it up in less than 10 minutes, following the instructions in the manual.

Place the baking pan, attach the kneading blade, and put the ingredients in the right amount, then select the preferred option. Follow the sequence as instructed in the manual.

Make sure the kneading blade is correctly attached before adding any ingredients.

Clean & Care

• Hassle-free cleaning.
• Cool down and dry up the pan before washing and using.
• Dishwasher-safe parts.

Cleaning the bread maker after each use is very important to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, and to be honest, it also maintains the newness of the appliance. Isn’t it? The Kent atta and bread maker is easy to clean. The bread pan and the kneading blade are washable. You can dish-wash them, but I suggest hand washing to expand their longevity. Use warm soapy water.

Be cautious while washing the blades with your hands. Make sure before cleaning the appliance has completely cooled down and completely dry before using it again.

The kneading blade remover and measuring units can only be hand washable.

Here are some tips:

• Turn the bread pan upside down to remove crumbs.
• Clean the crevices and corners using a brush or toothpick.
• To clean the exterior, wipe with a damp cloth.

Kent atta and bread maker price

• Reasonable in the pocket.
• Heavy discount applied.

Though the appliance uses high-end construction with hi-tech technology, it is reasonably priced. The M.R.P. of the atta and bread maker is 10,000 INR, but at major e-commerce portals, it comes with a heavy discount of 15%-40%, i.e., between 6000-8500 INR.
