Cuisinart CBK-200 2-Lb Convection Bread Maker

My husband gifted me with the bread machine for Christmas. I was skeptical at first but after using it almost every other day since I got it, I'm impressed! I've made sourdough loafs, sweet loafs, doughs, among other items. My family is addicted to homemade breads now and I don't think I'll ever be able to buy store bought again! The machine makes it so simple- just dump the ingredients in and forget about it. Sourdough stretch and folds? No more. The machine does it for you! I hope this machine lasts me for years to come.

I have had this bread maker for 20+ years. It has been perfect for my family. I have only recently had to order a new bread basket. I would highly recommend this product.

I love love love this machine! Quiet, easy to use, and the included recipes are already turning into family favorites, and it handles my sourdough recipe like a rock star. One tiny tip: 1st couple times pulling pan out takes a good tug (I started looking for a release lever lol)

This was my first purchase of a Cuisinart Breadmaker and I am very pleased with both the quality and the price. It has two features that I especially like that my old bread machine didn't have 1) the handles make it easier to lift and 2) the beeps that signal when the paddle can be removed from the bread dough - just before baking. It also comes with a recipe book with a variety of bread recipes.

I have been baking bread in my new Cuisinart about every other day. Using recipes from the book that came with the bread machine, and from Pinterest. it is so easy to use, even though I have a few tweaks to recipes. I have attached a couple of photos of bread I made. Hawaiian, challah, etc. All turned out beautiful. I have made pepperoni garlic bread, and roasted red pepper garlic bread. Awesome grilled cheese sandwiches.

I bought this as a Christmas gift to myself. I love it! I make bread once a week for my family and it's never been easier. I have also been experimenting with having the machine do all the work, then I form the bread into loaves and bake in the oven

This unit is well designed, easy to use, and makes bread worth eating! Made a simple loaf, with all purpose flour, it was pretty good, then a French loaf, made with bread flour, the difference in crust was noticeable, the crust was flaky and crunchy and the bread flour(having more gluten) made the bread texture chewier. MMMmmm Banana Walnut Bread (nice included recipe) was third loaf. Making the fourth one now. I have used a few different bread makers over a few years this one is a good one!

With no baking experience and almost no kitchen skills I am now popping out loaves of fresh bread every 2 or 3 days. Now I always have fresh bread on hand, and it tastes better than what I can buy at the store. And the bread costs about $.50 a loaf. So how could my experience be any better?

I am the queen of burning bread but his makes it soo easy I have not burned anything yet!!! the bread is always a little more dense then I like using the recopies that are included in the manual so I have boon finding alternate recopies for softer bread . I DO NOT like the little paddle, it gets dirty and nasty its hard to clean it gets stuck in the batter when you try to pull it out and its very frustrating .. BUT I will put up with that frustration , will be having to get a new paddle as it does not get all the way clean and that is not sanitary

Do NOT buy this! I am very unhappy with this product. I have many Cuisinart machines and have found them reliable and of good quality. While I have no issue with the quality of the machine per se, it is useless. I have to remain within arms reach in order to stop the machine, re-seat the pan and push start. Over and over and over. With hovering I can get it to produce a loaf of bread. It would be less work to do it all by hand. Basically a huge paper weight! Don't buy this. I now am leary of purchasing other Cuisinart appliances.
