Where these times come from
Start with the job, then compare the clock
The most useful comparison on Zojirushi BB-PDC20 is between its own programs. Names such as White, Whole Wheat, European describe different jobs, not merely different countdowns.
Bread programs can change mixing, resting, rising and baking—not just total time. Check loaf size, yeast type, crust choice and delay-timer eligibility on the linked program page.
