Cuisinart Bread Maker Machine, Stainless Steel Automatic Bread Machine with 12 Menu Options, 3 Loaf Sizes up to 2 Lb., 3 Crust Colors, Removable Nonstick Baking Pan & Kneading Paddle, CBK-110NAS

I waited a long time before writing this review because I wanted to make sure I could say something beyond the honeymoon stage. Now I'm finally ready to do so. This machine has turned out to be a blessing. Sure, it has its quirks like any other automatic appliance. For instance, the suction cups that should secure it to a counter surface aren't that strong (more on that later), but at least it does what it offers. Now, I need to inform you that while the basic white bread process renders the most delicious bread on earth, the whole wheat was a disaster. I will take responsibility for it, because machines aren't smart enough to fail on their own. I liked that I can add stuff or replace it and the machine keeps on going (I learned to use oil instead of butter, real milk instead of powdered milk, and to add raisins or cranberries to my white bread). Good things: timer reliability, very good dough kneading, crust baking, ease to prepare bread and to remove loaf at the end. Not too satisfactory (but then, this may be because of other factors): whole wheat bread was a disaster, and so was trying to make a baguette dough. It just didn't rise, but I'm taking responsibility because I must have made a mistake. Now, the funny story (back to the suction cups): I got used to set up the machine at 10 or 11 o'clock the night before to wake up to freshly baked bread. This machine is good at it. However, when it's in the kneading cycle it almost dances... and the last time I left it to work overnight, it danced... and fell to the floor. Disaster: the dough was on the floor (salvageable), and the machine lost its lid (broken hinge). Here's the nice part: I contacted the manufacturer. They requested that I sent them a photo of the damaged machine. I did, and their reply was to offer me a new one, free of charge, as a courtesy—yet, with the severe admonition that I should never leave the machine unattended. Why make it programmable then? In any case, if the machine performance was quite satisfactory and the bread was loved by my whole family, now I can add a word about Cuisinart: they really stand by their product. The machine was so tough that even with a broken hinge it still made good bread! Needless to say, I'm continuing using this machine and can recommend it because of its ease of use, bread quality (at least the white bread) and good results.

This is the Cadillac of bread makers! Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son who loves to cook. He's made some delicious breads! Real easy to clean. Doesn't take up space on your counter. Highly recommended because it is quick and easy!

I purchased this to make a more healthier option for bread loafs. Store bought bread loafs just contain too many ingredients. This is my first time so I’m just a beginner getting into baking. The learning curve isn’t that difficult. Me personally I just wanted some videos online to see what recipe was good for this machine. I love how it gives you options on how the bread looks. When the loaf was finished it looked amazing. The sound of the machine isn’t that bad as I just leave it and watch it time to time via the window on the top. When the loaf was finished a couple of my family was in the kitchen and they all tried a slice and absolutely loved the taste. Those same family members also purchased this as well. The heat is hot just wear an oven mitt when taking it out. Overall I’m very satisfied with this bread maker. Now we can’t stop eating homemade bread.

It’s a nice bread machine. It works well. My only complaint is it’s a bit noisy from the one I had 30 years ago and it’s very annoying the paddle comes off mid process and you have to lift the dough to replace the paddle! My last loaf I had to cut the paddle out of the bottom of the bread! Ridiculous. Paddle should lock in place like the machine I had years ago, but it doesn’t.

I’m so glad that I bought this when they were selling out quickly due to the Covid19 crisis. I’ve made about a half dozen or so loaves of bread in the past three weeks and overall have had excellent results. First, I saw several reviews that said the bread maker didn’t come with a paddle. I thought the same thing at first - please note the paddle is taped to the inside of a cardboard piece that protects the inside of the maker from scratching. They should make this more obvious as I can see how people could overlook it and accidentally throw it away. On to the maker’s attributes, it has a nice look to it on the counter and it is compact enough that I don’t mind leaving it out 24/7 in my smallish kitchen. I will note that I have NOT used the recipes in the book that came with it. They seemed a bit fussy and with no reviews on the recipes themselves I didn’t trust them. I bought a couple of bread machine bread cookbooks that were recommended to me - in particular the Bread Lovers Bread Machine Cookbook. I’ve also found recipes on King Arthur flour’s website. For those that are having trouble with the bread machine making loaves properly, I suppose it could be the bread maker malfunctioning, but I imagine it may be more likely that people are not measuring correctly or putting the ingredients in the machine in the right order. For my first loaf I knew I overmeasured the water just a bit but figured no biggie it will be more moist. Nope - it was too airy (but still pretty good)! Next time I did the same recipe and was more precise on my measuring and it was perfect! Another time my bread didn’t rise properly and was dense but I didn’t blame the bread machine - I know I messed up that time because it was honey bread and I forgot to put the honey in with the liquid ingredients before the flour was added so I ended up putting the honey on last which I’m sure messed up the yeast activity. That bread however was still good and edible just too dense. The other tip I’ll give is to make sure to measure flour properly. I didn’t realize this was an issue for so many people but all of the flour books stress this point so also make sure you know how to measure flour without packing it. If there is way too much flour I’m sure the bread won’t turn out. Conversely, the bread books tell you that if your dough is too moist during the mixing process, that you should add flour during the machines’ kneading process. During my very first loaf I could tell it was likely too moist through the window but I was too scared to interfere with the process. On my last loaf I made which was a Hawaiian sweet bread I could tell it was too moist so I added flour every couple of minutes during the second knead until it made a smoother dough ball that held together. The bread turned out delicious! In summary, do your research on how to optimize the results you get from your bread machine and enjoy your baking process and results!!

Linda e muito potente. Entrega tudo e bem mais. Parabéns Cuisinart 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is definitely worth the money. This little machine makes amazing bread because I can't. I've had it for months now before doing a review because I wanted to really give an honest opinion about it. It's compact. Easy to clean and store. Doesn't take up much room on the counter. it's a little on the noisey side but I sill love it. It's easy to use. As long as you use quality ingredients you will always have great bread/ dough. I would definitely pass on the recipes that are included with it. Just go to Pinterest or any other site for bread maker recipes.

Al principio tenía mis dudas con respecto al tamaño del pan sin embargo mis dudas fueron despejadas al preparar la primer hogaza del pan. Es muy fácil de usar, solo agregas los ingredientes colocas el tipo de pan y listo la máquina hace todo el trabajo. Lo que te permite realizar otras actividades o dejarla en la noche y despertar con pan tibio. Cuando la ví me llamas la atención y tenía mis dudas de adquirirla pero ya teniendo la te das cuenta que si es una buena opción para la gente que quiere dejar de consumir pan procesado y optar por otras opciones o hacer algo propio ya que puede ayudar a preparar masa y de ahí terminar la cocción en un horno convencional. Toda esta recubierta con material antiadherente y no se le pega nada así como no guarda olores. La limpieza se puede hacer fácil con un trapo húmedo y queda excelente, la "cubeta" de mezclado esmuy sencilla de retirar y fácil de limpiar igualmente. Al ser cúbica fácilmente puedes colocarla en una esquina y estará lista para usar cuando quieras. Cuenta con recetario en español y si no, puedes solicitarlo al servicio al cliente de cusinart y te lo mandan de inmediato. Es buena máquina, el pan queda bien cocido (recomiendo un color intermedio) y el pan será tan rico como tú lo hagas y claro la sensación de que estás comiendo algo diferente está presente y eso hace que sea un poco más rico.

Incrivel, muito bom. Gosto muito de fazer pão nele. Mas senti muita dificuldade de fazer pão sem gluten. Eu acho que esse tipo de pão necessita de uma técnica e material diferenciado, além de ingredientes muito específicos. O pão para sair bom, precisa ficar uma bolinha dentro do aparelho, e nao pode ficar pegajoso. Ja o pão sem glutem é dificil de deixar uma bolinha, sempre fica pastoso. Mas os pães com glutem junto de farinha integral ficam ótimos.

Bought this machine after use of two other brands over past 10 years. I love this one. Every recipy turns out great - the regular one I use for bread, the few from the book that comes with the machine. I tried many of them so far and happy with the outcome. I love the fact that it allows you to remove the blade and bake the bread without it. It’s easy to cut the bread afterwards, as there is no hole on a bottom, which was usual case with other machines I had. I like the look of it, the quality, the bread it makes and the price. Highly recommended!
