I chose the Sana Smart Bread maker purely because it is the only bread maker with a stainless steel pan. I have been determined to stay away from non stick coated cookware, it was very expensive with shipping but I think worth it. I am really liking it. The tip from one of the reviews here about letting it cool down upside down works really well. I was a bit daunted with having to work out programming but think I'm getting the hang of it now. I'm no baker so just trying to keep it simple, however I think the flexibility will be appreciated in the future. I wanted to start making my own bread due to my distrust of ingredients going into bought bread, especially the oil used. I still find it mind boggling there is only 1 company making bread machines with a stainless steel pan, especially as it's not that hard to get out.
- The biggest pro is the stainless steel pan
- Programming a bit daunting especially when you are new to baking bread

I would love to buy this bread maker!! Thank you for making one out of stainless steel....
However I live in australia
Can you post it to me? Will I be able to plug it in to australian power outlets??
Thank you!! I reeally hope to buy it !!!!
We are unable to ship to Australia at this time, as our shipper (TNT/FedEx) suspended economy international shipping for now due to pandemic complications. However, it's possible to choose "personal pick up in warehouse" as the shipping option, and arrange your own shipping.
Are the baguette pans also stainless steel? If not, do you have plans to make a stainless steel option?
I ordered a new stainless steel sana smart bread maker (model standard). I was intent on a stainless steel bread maker, but I didn’t see is it has more control features than I need.i was also looking for just a quick 1,2,or 3 button Pre-program quick start. So if anyone wants to buy it, I am selling it as open box, used once. Already comes with very expensive power converter for USA voltage. It’s ready to use.

The Sana smart bread maker is very flexible in it's programming, but the other side of that is a tricky interface with lots of settings. You can program one of the baking programs (programs 1, 2, and 3) according to any recipe and it will stay stored in memory until the next time. We are actually filming a video series showing how to do this, as it isn't readily apparent.
If there is any way I can help, please let me know (dan@sanaproducts.com). If not, I will leave your comment as it is a good value with the power converter.
Kind regards.
Best regards
There is no dedicated gluten free program, but since you can contraol all parameters of the cycle (baking time and temperature, rising time and temperature) you can set it exactly
However certain types of breads, notably gluten-free and sweet breads, are naturally stickier and a little coconut oil or butter rubed on the pan beforehand can help.
We hope to have a model available in the US in early 2021.
Best regards
We are working on a 110V 60 Hz model for the US market. We hope it will be available by the end of the year.
Thank you.
The Sana bread machine is very flexible, as you can program each phase's time and temperature (2 rising and 3 baking), so sourdough and rye are possible. There is no dedicated sourdough program, but you can set it according to your recipe. Probably the recipe we show in this video would be suitable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgxAXfjLmbc
You can also download the user manual to see all the settings: https://www.sanaproducts.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Sana_breadmaker_en_min_V2.pdf
It will allow a rising as low as 20C, which is about 68 F.
You can use a converter, but we don't advise it as you would need a very heavy duty voltage transformer (we recommend one which can handle 1500 watts), not just a plug converter.
The US model of the Sana bread machine has been a slow process, but we hope to have it available next summer.
The Sana Stainless Steel Breadmaker uses an F plug, so an adaptor would be needed for it to fit into a J-socket.
Take care

What is the technology?
I want to know if I can count on it, does it really do not stick?
There are no coatings on the stainless steel. There are a few factors that help bread not to stick:
1) The Sana Smart Breadmaker cooks at a lower temperature so there is no bread "burning" onto the pan
2) The bread pan has glass lids which keep the bread moister and less sticky.
3) Bread is allowed to completely cool with the lids on after baking. As it cools, it pulls away from the pan, making removal more easy.
However, because there are no coatings used, it will be "stickier" than pans without Teflon. We have had some customers experience bread sticking, but usually it is because they didn't allow the bread to fully cool in the pan before removing it. Also, some recipes are naturally more prone to stick, expecially gluten free.
Thanks for the question

Unfortunately the Sana Bread Maker only operates on European voltage. We have had some customers import it into the US, but the shipping is very expensive and a pricey voltage transformer is needed to make it work.
However, we are currently working on a stainless steel breadmaker that will be compatible with US voltage and hope to have it available early next year.
Have a nice day
The screws on the bottom of the pan are also made from stainless steel to keep everything perfectly hygienic.

Unfortunately the instructions are only available in English. It can be downloaded here: https://www.sanaproducts.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sana_breadmaker_en_min.pdf
We also received your email and replied directly to it. Did you hold the "ON/OFF" button for two seconds to start the machine?
The manual is available online here: https://www.sanaproducts.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sana_breadmaker_en_min.pdf
Please contact us directly at the email I sent you if you continue to have problems.
Thank you
Thanks.

It's not one of our usual shipping destinations. but we can ship there via TNT courier. Shipping cost is pricey - 110 euros - but European VAT taxes (approx. 70 euros) would be deducted since you live outside of the EU. Keep in mind that it is 230 volts, 50 Hz (same as South Africa, I believe) and uses the European F-plug, so you would need a plug adaptor.
Hope that helps

We have updated the list and Singapore should now be an option.
Thank you
The Smart Bread Maker uses SUS 304 stainless steel sourced from China. We don't yet know when it will be available in North America. There has been some difficulty getting a 110-volt model to keep the accurate temperatures required. We are currently evaluating third-party voltage regulators as a short-term solution (which would allow the European models to plug into 110-Volt power sources).
Is there a program to bake Whole Wheat bread plz?
It's great that you're making Teflon free pans btw.
Teflon can be dangerous, past a certain temperature, because it can give of dangerous fumes. Also when the coating goes off, unhealthy levels of aluminum can leach into the bread.
Am glad I found you.
Thankyou for the great work that you're doing!
Regarding a whole wheat setting, the Smart Bread Maker is fully programmable so you can program whatever settings you wish (for kneading time, rising times, temperature, etc.). Personally I find the standard setting (program 1) works fine, although sometimes I will increase the kneading and rising time a bit depending on the type of whole wheat flour. You can find more information in our manual which can be downloaded here: https://www.sanaproducts.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sana_breadmaker_en_min.pdf
I am writing today with questions: have you sold bread makers to North American customers before? If so, what kind of support is offered to those customers? A voltage adapter with surge protection would be necessary in order to use the appliance in the USA, right?
Thank you for your time and for your good work.
Thank you for writing. I'm surprised a company in the US hasn't yet offered a bread maker with a stainless steel pan.
We haven't yet sold bread makers in the North American market, although we have had many requests to do it. Because of the precise voltage requirements to maintain a level temperature, we don't recommend using it with a voltage regulator.
We are currently planning a small production run of the Sana bread maker for North American voltage, and it should be complete in November. We are currently looking at different distribution options there, since shipping from Europe would be pretty pricey. We will update this on our Facebook page when we know more details.
Take care

How can I get the breadmachine in Salzburg Austria?
