This is an excellent bread machine, I have been very happy with machine....however I had to order a replacement pan due to metal exposure and scraping that happened in blade areas. If you purchase this machine DO NOT wash or fill pan with hot water immediately after removing bread....it causes protective pan liner to flake off. I now wait until pan cools before I soak it in hot water to clean.

If the breadmaker is not COMPLETELY cool, it will kill the yeast in the pan and the loaf will fail. So having a second pan is convenient in that you can mix two loaves at one time, but cooling time between loaves is critical to success. REALLY good breadmaker!

I bought this as a spare pan so I could have one pan in the machine and one pan ready for the next loaf when the first one was done. I'm very happy with both the pan and the machine. The pan cleans quickly and easily, and the bread releases without difficulty. Well worth the money.

This is a good pan to work with in the Zojirushi Bread machine. I bake bread every single day and have to replace my bread pan about every year to 18 months. The paddles I replace about twice a year. In my opinion that is good enough although it would be nice if they lasted longer of course.
Things that will influence how long your pan and paddles will last is how rough the dough is (the more seeds or nuts you put in, the more the non-stick layer will be damaged during the kneading process) and how sturdy you make your dough (if the machine has trouble moving the dough around you probably don't have enough water or other fluid in it which is harder on the motor, as well as the paddles).
After extended use the non-stick layer will disappear in places and then the bread will stick to it and be harder to get out of the pan after baking. The same goes for the paddles. With some good care instructions that other people have mentioned as well you can make them last however. Let the pan cool completely before you clean it and don't use soap on it. I use just clean warm water and a gentle brush. No sharp objects either. I think of it as if it were a Tefal or Calphalon baking pan, when the non-stick layer goes away it's time to replace.

This replacement pan is of excellent quality and makes beautiful bread loaves.
Be sure to wash off the thin veneer of manufacturing oil with soapy water before using.

As others have mentioned, NEVER put cold water in the bread pan while it is still hot after baking. This will warp the base of the pan and cause the beaters to scrape the non-stick coating off in a circular pattern. ALWAYS let it stand to cool before washing it out.
Failing to do this was why I bought the replacement pan in the first place.

This is a great product and with minor attention to details (and recipe refining) it consistently makes perfect loaves every time.

[Edit: 18 months later this replacement pan is still in perfect condition and baking 2 whole wheat loaves every week.]

If you make a lot of bread in your Zojirushi, eventually the baking pan starts to peel...very unappetizing so getting a new pan is mandatory. I wish the replacement pan wasn't so expensive and hope that this one won't peel through normal use.

This is an exact replacement for the original that shipped with the bread machine. The spindle/axle that the paddle attaches to, then goes through the bottom of the pan broke down on our first pan. There is no excuse for that--the inside just wore out, then started sticking, and finally just fell out of the bottom of the pan. This happened not long after the warranty expired, so we just had to pony up for a new one. Zojirushi should repair or replace at no charge instead since it is clearly a defect in "materials or workmanship" or just poor engineering in the first place.

Works just fine, like the one that came with the bread maker.
I hope it lasts longer (the original had the seals fail after about a year).

The pan arrived and is the exact pan that came with the baker. I wore mine out and this was the best price I could find; AND it arrived quickly and is the same exact pan that came with the bread machine. I love my Zo and even more with a pan that is non-stick again!

Perfect, nothing more to say! Prompt shipment and exact replacement and MUCH BETTER price than Zojirushi themselves! Can't beat it....
