ZOJI: PANS for BAKING
You can use your own bread pans in the Zojirushi Baking Chamber!
There is a metal base on which to set your pan or you can insert a rack to lift your pan a bit away from the coils. The rack pictured has a height of 1.5". The bottoms of pans that rest on this rack will be about 0.5" above the coils. This is similar to the distance of the bottom of the Zoji baking pan to the coils.
Note: The Zojirushi (BBCC-X20) has a bake setting for a maximum of 70 minutes. The temperature is fixed. The baking chamber temperature can fluctuate as much as 60F while the machine tries to maintain the maximum of 400F (204C). This may seem very detrimental to baking breads, but surprisingly, bakes are quite successful. The compartment is suitably "snug" for baking and usually no steam is applied other than spraying the top of a loaf before loading.

Where did you get the rack?
Hi,
I think it was from a Chinese grocery store (Ranch 99?). I will look next time I am there. The diameter is 4.75".
Did you see the one in Yippee's post,

? It looks like it raises the loaf a little higher than the coils too.
Do you have a picture of your baking chamber and the dimensions of the chamber?
Will your nice bread cube pan fit in your bread machine?
