Sale! Cuisinart CBK-110FR Bread Maker, 2lb Loaf, Automatic-Cert

★★★★☆ My mom’s bread maker of 30 years died so I was in the market for a new one. This Cuisinart model seemed to fit the bill. I love that it’s stylish and compact and easily fits under the counter. Easy to use. Just four buttons to press. I bought several packets of rapid rise yeast so the quick cycle as stated in the owners manual makes a very nice 1 pound, whole wheat loaf of bread in about two hours. I just wish it rose a bit more but it’s only a one pound loaf, so it’s more than satisfactory for my morning toast. Nice crunchy crust when I use the medium setting. I’m looking forward to trying “regular” yeast and see if it might rise higher. Also, the other recipes included with the machine look intriguing! So far so good!

★★★☆☆ MakeS great dough. I’m a little disappointed in the bake function. Two out of three loaves did not come out well. The third was ok. The pan is too wide, so you end up with very big slices of bread and not too many to a loaf. The fourth, I used the dough function and baked the loaf in my oven....much better result.

★★★★★ I say it is not a good value because I knowingly and willingly paid a "king's ransom" for this little machine due to "supply and demand" situation caused by the pandemic and greed. Wanted primarily for it's small imprint. I'm very happy with it so far. 13 different programs. 3 loaf sizes. Signals for add-ins and then again when it is time to re-shape dough or remove the dough to finish baking in the oven. Recipe book has a collection of very nice recipes. Favorite, so far, is a French kalamata, rye, wheat, loaf.
