<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I previously mentioned three bread machines that were on sale at the Kitchen etc. stores. Overwhelmingly, people said to purchase the Zojirushi. Well, we just returned from the store, and I am now the proud owner of a Zojirushi. The price was $149.99 plus tax, which I have been told is quite good. Now, does anyone have any suggestions on how to bake a good gf and lactose free bread? I think I will begin by ordering the new Hagman book on bread baking. But any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Myrna in Massachusetts
