Cuisinart CBK-110P1 Bread Maker, Stainless Steel, New Compact Automatic

Product Information

The Cuisinart Bread Maker is one of the quieter machines you can find around. The motor is strong and makes a whirring sound in the initial stages when it makes the mixture. Moreover, the kneading phase makes little noise. Benefits The CUSIMAX produced a great loaf of white bread, and we loved how easy its recipes were to follow. However, it seemed to struggle with other types of bread and didn't do a great job of fully incorporating the dry ingredients into our banana bread loaf.

This setting won’t always be suitable if you’re baking with ingredients that can spoil, such as eggs. Up to 13 hours is average, which includes the time the bread takes to be made. A default keep warm is a handy option if you’re not around to take the bread out. This maintains enough heat inside the pan to prevent condensation being absorbed by the loaf as it cools.

Our gluten-free loaf was more challenging. The programme had plenty of mixing built into it, so there weren’t clumps of ingredients left behind, which can be a common problem. However, it didn’t rise as well as hoped, so the loaf was dense, and browner on the sides than on the top even though we baked using the dark crust option. Fresh herbs: a blend of rosemary, parsley and basil are used. Oregano, thyme and sage are other options if you'd like to vary it. If you want to customize this recipe a bit further, consider adding a few tablespoons of molasses or honey when mixing up the dough. You can make this recipe with any kind of whole grain flour—I’ve tried it with quinoa and spelt flour with great results. There’s a decent amount of versatility with 12 programmes (no gluten-free but there is jam and cake). There's a 13-hour delay start, an ‘add extras’ alert, viewing window and one-hour keep warm, plus a measuring spoon and cup. For all that, it’s probably a better bet for previous bread maker owners, rather than newbies. This is because the instructions and recipe book are poorly written.

Nut and seed dispenser automatically adds extra ingredients ensuring contents are not over processed and are evenly distributed Warm water: or you can use milk as long as both are warmed to about 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Don't use cold liquid. One of the best features of Cuisinart Bread Maker is that it features a vertical design. As such, it saves space and gives your bread a consistent shape from each side. Because of that, you can have great bread that’s perfect for making sandwiches.Our favorite bread machine overall, the Zojirushi Home Bakery Virtuoso Plus, is on the pricey side, but it's worth it for a person who will use their bread maker with some frequency. It turns out gorgeous, evenly-cooked loaves with perfectly soft, golden crusts, and its versatile presets and delayed-start timer make it easy to set it and forget it. If you're looking for an equally versatile machine with a smaller footprint, we also loved the Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker. When buying a bread maker, consider the following factors to ensure you choose the right one for your home baking needs: Cakes and pastries: From classic cakes to breakfast pastries, some breadmakers come with presets for sweet treats, too.

These are usually labelled as a general size, eg medium, large or extra large. Loaves may also be measured in pounds, eg 1lb, 1.5lb and 2lb, or in grams, ie 680g, 900g, 1kg.
