KitchenAid Bread Bowl with Baking Lid, Grey Speckle, KSM2CB5BGS

The KitchenAid bread bowl helps making bread an ease, due to the fact that you're able to complete all the recipe steps in one bowl is worth it. I don't know if they make this in an off brand version or not, I always have purchased the Kitchenaid brand and I have loved everything I've purchased. I do wish they would include in the purchase easy access to video tutorials on how to use them and recipes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hesitated for a while then decided to go ahead. Do we need to eat more bread??? Have only made one loaf so far, following the included recipe, which was so easy and the result was unbelievably good. Everything washed in the dishwasher .. a major plus. Going to try a wholemeal version next time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In 69 years, I have never made bread and this was going to be my first time. I couldn't see how this might work but KitchenAid would not put their name to it if they were not confident. Only receiving the bowl in the last week, I used the recipe that came with the bowl called “Classic Boule”. I started with the preparation and used Himalayan salt instead of Kosher salt (could not find this anywhere) and I don't believe it made any difference. Mixing the dough all went like clockwork and I was starting to get excited. Followed all instructions and now I would leave it for sixty minutes for the yeast to do its thing. Reading the instructions for the next part, I didn't realise that after kneading the bread for a short time the bread had to rest again. I wish I could rest like bread rising! After the second rising of 30 minutes, again following instructions, I prepared the bowl with extra flour, but at this point, I might say, it is best to make sure the bowl is clean otherwise residue will stick in the cooking process and can be hard to get off. After placing the bread back in the bowl and this time inverting the bowl, I placed it in my preheated oven for the cooking process. Once the set time was up, I took the bowl off and cooked the bread for a further 10 minutes and you tell me what you think of my bread – refer to picture. I can also vouch for the taste and my family enjoyed it as much as I did!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a great addition to my KitchenAid accessories. I wouldn't have thought something so simple would be so effective - and have enjoyed beautiful breads and sweets, reliably, every time. The favorite has been Cinnamon Scrolls.. but my top handy tip, is that you can revitalise stale crusty bread in the Artisan bread bowl and baking lid - simply dampen your dry bread quickly under a tap, pop in the baker and back into the oven for about 10 minutes (or when water has evaporated and bread is crispy and revitalised). No more wasted bread - and it will be just like 'oven fresh' again.

I like to make bread in the winter and this bowl makes is slightly easier. You won't need another bowl to proof in and can bake on the lid if you like round bread.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is fantastic. It will make my baking life so much simpler. A perfect addition to my KitchenAid collection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this bowl because I have been delving into the wide world of baking and saw that it had decent reviews. I was surprised to see that it would lock onto my countertop mixer and could help my automate a lot of kneading. I haven't done much tinkering with my recipes yet, but this seems to be great for any dough that need to be worked. The lid that comes with it is great for proofing the dough during the rise. I'll definitely be tweaking some of my recipes and playing with this bowl a lot over the holidays.

Received as early Christmas present, have used twice in a week and found it easy to use, with great results following the recipe provided. Only downside is the loaf is small (2 1/2 cups flour) due to bowl not able to handle larger capacity. On the whole though, I love it.

This was advertized looking like the whole mixer when it was just a bowl, I have to come back and order the mixer, hundreds of dollars more it cost due to inaccurate description

I recieved this bowl for Mother's day and I have used it to mix and proof my dough and I have been very happy with it. However, today I decided to use it to cook the bread and the lid cracked through the side during cooking. The oven temperature was 230 degrees with the bowl on the lid for the first part of the 30 minute cook and then I dropped it back to 200 degrees for the next 15 minutes with the bowl lid removed. So disappointed.
