The Home Bakery Virtuoso ® Plus Breadmaker bakes a traditional-shaped 2-lb. loaf of bread automatically. Dual kneading blades and additional heater on the lid ensures thorough kneading and even baking. Expanded healthy course options include Multigrain, Whole Wheat, Rapid Whole Wheat, Gluten Free, Salt Free, Sugar Free and Vegan.
The Zojirushi Virtuoso Plus Breadmaker comes packaged with styrofoam, but the pieces are easy to remove, giving you easy access to the appliance. The bread machine itself is wrapped in a layer of thin foam to prevent scratches, and its two kneading paddles (yes, there are two!) are tucked into one of the styrofoam packing pieces.
As the flagship breadmaker of Zojirushi, the Virtuoso Plus has 15 preprogrammed course settings that change the kneading, rising, and baking functions depending on the type of bread to be baked. You can bake from the classic White or European bread, or to more healthy options like whole wheat, gluten-free, and even vegan.
Unlike most breadmakers in the market, both Zojirushi breadmakers have dual kneading blades to ensure thorough mixing for the best result. Like all other Zojirushi breadmakers, both come with a removable and nonstick bread pan for easier cleaning. Did I already mention that both pans are BPA-free?
