Lidl bakery, is it as good as they say? Feedback

Making bread at home is an option that many are enjoying. For this task, bread-making machines are undoubtedly the fastest and most effective option. Specifically, today we want to give our opinion on one of these devices; Lidl’s bakery. An exclusive product from this well-known supermarket chain, which has revolutionized the sector due to its great features at a very affordable price. This appliance has been developed by the company Silvercrest Kitchen Tools; an outstanding company, above all, for the creation of bakeries of a very high quality.

The version on which we are going to comment today is that of 2019-2020, which has been a considerable improvement over previous years. As we can see in all the fields of this analysis, creators and sellers have wanted to give a leap in quality while maintaining the price. On this basis, it seems normal that this bakery is getting such good reviews. However, it is time to delve into the characteristics of this device and have a more personal opinion.

Design

The aspect in which we have noticed the least change compared to past bakeries of the same brand. It’s not too far removed from competing bakeries, either, but this isn’t necessarily a flaw. It has everything you should have; nails unobtrusive dimensions (27 x 30x 41 cm), it is not very heavy (6.2 kg) so it can be easily transported, and has good quality materials. Regarding this last point, that the stainless steel rods come prepared to be non-stick, it seems to us a good detail, since it does not force us to have to buy any liquid to lubricate. Also the transparent lid, which shows how the baking process is going.

Although if there is one point that stands out in design aspects, it is the large capacity of the mold. It can work with up to 1500 grams of dough, much more than the standard in this type of appliance, or even in other bakeries of the same company. Improve and improve, that is the philosophy that Lidl has followed for its offer in home appliances. In the end, buyers realize these intentions, and it ends up being reflected in sales.

Programs and functions

This intention of constant evolution is also manifested in the breadmaker versatility Lidl. It has built-in 16 different programs, ranging from the most normal bread, through gluten-free, to pizza dough, for example. In addition, it allows you to make other types of products beyond dough, such as yogurt and jam. Without comparing these possibilities with the most primitive models of the brand, the difference is very noticeable. Some of the devices of past years had only 4 functions, which means that their uses have tripled.

The doughs can also be made with three automatic toasting options (light, medium and dark). A baking power of 850 watts doesn’t stand out much, but it’s more than enough to get the job done and you don’t need more. Same as the automatic functions, which come in all devices of this type; mixing, kneading, fermenting and baking. In this way it does not stand out much, but it is still a very useful appliance.

Although if there is one factor that does stand out, they are the additions with respect to past models. The keep warm function It is the first one that we are going to talk about. Once the whole process is finished, the appliance can keep the bread warm for another hour. We can eat fresh bread without having to be at the end of baking. It also has a timer up to 15 hours, with the possibility of delayed start. With this option we achieve greater independence of the device, since we can leave it programmed and forget about it a bit. Finally, this bakery not only has a fairly extensive recipe book, but also warns us when we are not following the instructions well or an ingredient is missing.

Lidl bakery price

The great factor that has decided hundreds of people to buy the Lidl bakery. To be such an affordable device, With a price of 50 euros, it makes it one of the most desired appliances of the moment. So much so, that it can only be bought in supermarkets of the brand, no acquisitions through the network. At most, a reservation is allowed from home, since it is so requested that there is not enough stock to cover all orders.

It is surprising that something like this happens in such an unknown product as a bakery. However, after seeing the design features, the many features and add-ons, at such a low price, it clearly stands out. If to all this we add the incipient desire to cook that is being born in society, it has this result.

In relation to value for money, it has no rival. We have already talked about bakery machines before, analyzing the characteristics of some of them, but none had surprised us so much in this regard. For this reason, it must be given the recognition it deserves, that of being the most competent bakery on the market.

Conclusions about the Lidl bakery

If the question is whether you would buy this device, the answer is yes. Sometimes successes come from fashions, by chance, or for reasons unrelated to quality, although this is not the case. The Lidl breadmaker has many good things, starting from a good design, continuing on the right track in its great features, to the surprisingly low price factor. It meets all the requirements to be a basic appliance in our homes, but unfortunately, its acquisition is very complicated. Lidl should work on this aspect, since it is useless to have such a good product, but you will have stock with which to supply all orders. However, it is clear that, if they can improve this deficiency, this bread maker will continue its dizzying ascent.
