The Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme is the cheaper way into Zojirushi's 2-lb machines at $369.99, $85 less than the Virtuoso Plus. It bakes a large traditional rectangular 2-lb loaf and has a Home Made Menu with 3 memory settings for your own timing. Zojirushi lists menus for white bread, wheat bread, sourdough starter, dough, jam, cake and quick bread, and says it can even make meatloaf. The sourdough starter course takes a little over 2 hours, the quick cycle about 2 hours, and the 13-hour delay timer and auto shut-off add convenience and safety. Compared with the BB-PDC20, the product page does not mention dual kneading blades or a lid heater, and it lists no gluten-free, salt-free or vegan course. That puts its features below cheaper machines with longer menus, and its value score reflects the price. We compared documented features and published prices and did not bake test loaves.
