homeschoolma says "The Sunbeam 5890 is a MUST in the kitchen!!" about Sunbeam 5890

homeschoolma — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:22:35 GMT

The Sunbeam 5890 is a great machine. We purchased this machine a bout 5 years ago when my other breadmachine was broke. I am sad that this model is no longer available in our area (that we can find). I would definatly buy another Sunbeam breadmaker. I have used every setting on the machine, except for the jam setting. I was not happy with the size of the loaves and the big hole left in the bottom from the paddle. Since we are a large family making bread has become a part of daily life. I decided to utilize some of the other features on the machine. I love the dough setting on this machine. I just put the ingredients in the pan and press the button. When it beeps I take the dough out and finish it in the oven. That way the loaf is "normal" size and I can start another loaf right away. I have started doing all my bread this way, even the quick bread setting. I am going to try the jam setting as soon as time allows.

MandyHoward says "The Oster Compact Breadmaker is a must have!" about Oster 5858

MandyHoward — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:21:33 GMT

The Oster Compact Breadmaker is an excellent machine to have around the house. It saves on money, time and looks very attractive on any counter top. There is absolutely no preparation time involved in making bread. You follow the directions, add the ingredients and just leave the machine to do all the work. The viewing window makes breadmaking fun for the whole family. Kids just love to peer through the window and watch the magic happen. The breadmaker comes with seven mouth watering recipes which includes a recipe for pasta dough and two yummy sweet bread recipes. If you add the ingredients exactly as the instructions tell you, you will end up with delicious homemade bread or pasta for the whole family. Cleaning the Oster Compact Breadmaker is an absolute breeze. You just remove the bread pan and the kneading blade hand wash them using a gentle non abrasive soap, dry and replace and the bread making can start again.

jamminworld says "The Zojirushi BBCC-X20 makes great homemade loaves of bread." about Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Home Bakery Supreme Bread Maker

jamminworld — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:28:15 GMT

I am not Mrs. Cleaver, but I can make my own homemade bread thanks to the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 bread machine. I am not the best cook but using the Zo bread machine is so easy. The machine comes with a small cookbook that contains a variety of bread, jam, and cake recipes. All you have to do is follow instructions. Place all the wet ingredients first, then the dry ones, and lastly the yeast, set the machine to the program you need and walk away. It really is that simple.

This specific model can make large 2lb loaves which is great for a bigger family or if you want bread that will last all week. Also the viewing window is great during the kneading process to check if you need to add the additional water or flour to make the perfect dough. It is also nice for checking that the dough is rising appropriately. Another nice feature is the crust control which allows you to select between light, medium, and dark. Probably the best feature though and the one that sets this bread machine in a class...

Anonymous101 says "Delay timer doesn't work with Dough setting on the Oster 5838." about Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838

Anonymous101 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:19:10 GMT

The timer on this bread machine (Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838 ) does not work with the Dough setting! This is not mentioned anywhere on the box, in the product description, or in the manual so the only way to find out is to try it and find that it doesn't work. Even the lady at customer service took quite a while to figure out that the timer only works with some of the bread settings. I am extremely disappointed because without this feature a bread machine is completely useless to me, and I will have to return it. If I was going to be home a couple hours before dinner to turn the machine on, I would just make the bread myself and have no need for a machine.

sleepysmiley says "Great product. I really like it." about Panasonic SD-YD250

sleepysmiley — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:26:19 GMT

I love this breadmaker. I didn't expect to keep this breadmaker for myself. This was purchased as a toy and expected to be sent to my sister's place after a tryout. It ended up sitting on my counter and never leaves. My whole family loves the smell of fresh baked bread in the morning. With the timer feature in this machine, we can put all the ingredients in the pan at night and expect a fresh baked bread for breakfast. For a family of four, 1.5 lb is just right for us. Clean up is quite easy. After popping the bread out from the bread pan, simply submerge the pan paddle with water will do. Not much clean up is needed. This bread machine can also do pizza dough, bagel, crossaint and so much more. If you have young kids at home and do not want to feed them with extra ingredients that you have no idea of, give this a try. Making a loaf of bread only requires bread flour, sugar, salt, yeast and dry milk.

wantsponys says "The Sunbeam Breadmaker is worth the purchase." about Sunbeam Breadmaker 5891

wantsponys — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:05:46 GMT

The Sunbeam Breadmaker, model 5891, is my first bread making machine. I found it easy to use and the instructions easy to follow but I had to re-read the instructions more than once. I still keep the instructions handy when I'm making bread for the basic use and because it contains recipes that I still use. The machine allows you to make your own recipes and store bought packaged bread mixes. For a novice breadmaker it is a good machine to start out with. The display is digital and easy to read and understand. I don't like that you can't stop the machine if you forgot something without having to start over from the beginning. I don't know if this is the case with all breadmakers or not. You absolutely need to use the breadmachine yeast that comes in a jar. The packaged ones say they can be used in machines but when I used it, the dough overflowed and pushed the lid open. It was a real mess. This model allows for 3 crust color settings and 2 loaf sizes. It has 12 breadmaker settings.......

lucky1017 says "Awesome breadmaker" about Zojirushi BBHAC10

lucky1017 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:09:07 GMT

My new "Mini Zo" just arrived today, which was amazing! I have enjoyed my two-pound loaf Zojirushi since I purchased it from Amazon in 2002 and will still use it for larger loaves, but this will be the perfect size for just the two of us and for special breads that we may want for one or two meals. The loaf I made today was for "soft" white bread. This interested me since there is a setting for "regular" and "firm" bread as well, but I thought I would see what the "soft" would be like--this takes three hours rather than the longer time for the other syles (we wanted it for dinner). The loaf could not have been more perfect! The texture was wonderful and the taste excellent! The bread came out of the bread pan perfectly. There is also a "Quick" setting which requires two hours or less, depending on the light or dark crust selected. This machine fits very nicely on the counter taking up only a little more space than a blender. The carrying handle on the machine makes it very convenient for...

evet — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:06:49 GMT

I always loved the thought of "Baking", but was never good at it. But my family loves breads and cakes. After watching a preview, I thought okay I 'll give it a try. Well, I've been making bread, since the first day it arrived. I LOVE! this machine. Just follow the easy instructions , which is just adding all the stuff in order, just like the instructions say. And thats it! It's unbelievable. I can't believe I made this all by myself. Okay, my husband did read off the ingredients to me lol which are few. Just add it, set it, and forget it, It's amazing! Even the clean up is, really No Clean up lol. Can't believe it! But it's TRUE!

ctyankee32 says "My Machine maybe 10 years old but it still works and I love it!" about Zojirushi BBCC-V20

ctyankee32 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:28:45 GMT

I love my Zojirushi so much that if it ever decided to go into permanent retirement I would not consider a different brand. I would buy another Zojirushi. My Zojirushi is about 10 years old and it still works and looks like it is brand new.

It is one of the best investments I ever made. It saves me time and money. I have wheat allergies and have used spelt flour and other non wheat grains and my bread comes out better and tastes better than the store bought brands. It did take me about 5 attempts to obtain the right amount of ingredients before I had a spelt loaf I could eat. I have used my bread maker with regular white flour and whole wheat flour. Those have come out great as well.

laurenzo says "Express Bake from Oster is handy for all bread needs." about Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838

laurenzo — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:38:48 GMT

I love, love, love my Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake. I use it at least twice, if not more, times per week. I am what you would call a functional cook/baker. I do what needs to be done without a lot of frills. When this was given to me for Christmas, my husband swore that it would either stay in the box until we had a garage sale the next summer or that I would just use it once and forget about it. He has never been more wrong. I use it more for the dough setting. I like to make pizza dough, bake and then pop it into the freezer for an easy dinner after a busy day. Or save the dough and make mini-chili bowls. I have actually gotten a bit more creative with my bread and dough recipes now that I know how to just plop the ingredients in and let the machine do all of the work. Oster takes all of the work out of it - you don't even have to watch it to make sure it mixes completely. I know I can set it before I go to work or bed, put the ingredients in and have a piping...

dispatchergurl says "Oster makes an easy to use bread machine that works well!" about Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838

dispatchergurl — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:48:56 GMT

I purchased the Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838 a couple months ago since I am now medically required to be gluten free and all commercially purchased gluten free bread that I have tried tastes terrible. I was craving a normal bread and could not find one that was even close so I decided to buy a bread machine and make my own. I purchased this machine and love it. I have tried the normal setting, expressbake 58 min and expressbake 90 min setting. All work well. I use only gluten free bread mixes and all have turned out wonderfully! I have not tried to make my own by a recipe yet, but I will try it soon! This machine was purchased at Kohl's for under $65 and has been worth every cent.

whiterabbit66 says "Easy fresh bread, what could be better?" about Regal Kitchen Pro

whiterabbit66 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:46:48 GMT

I was given this Regal Kitchen Pro Bread maker as a gift. I love fresh bread, but often don't want to spend hours making it. You just pop everything into the bread pan, set the bread maker, and in a couple of hours-fresh bread! I have never had any problems with this breadmaker or needed other features. I do however recommend that you use the recipes that come with it, or other recipes designed specifically for a bread machine. I have tried other recipes in there and wound up with a 2 inch high loaf. The bread machine came with a book of reciipes for every kind of bread imaginable. You can't make baguettes in the machine, but you can make and rise and knead the dough in the bread machine, and then bake it in the oven. You can make rolls and sticky buns like this too. The timer and settings are simple to use. They are just push buttons, and there is a digital readout of the time left, and progress of the loaf. I would recommend this breadmaker.

heavncentt says "Fantastic Sunbeam Breadmaker, reliable, frugal, well made!" about Sunbeam 5891

heavncentt — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:58:22 GMT

I bought this Sunbeam Breadmaker late last year and have loved it ever since! I purchased mine at Walmart for about $55. After looking for an easy to use, yet not drastically expensive breadmaker, I finally settled on my find at Walmart. It is my first breadmaker. I have used it many times and have baked white loaf bread, dough cycle for dinner rolls, and dough cycle for white bread. All have came out great. I tend to like to use it for the dough cycle, then remove it and bake in my oven. Originally the instructions to get you started on your first loaf said to select the medium crust option. My first loaf tasted great, but the crust was too dark for our preferences. So, I now use the light crust option. Just our families tastes and desire. Overall, I am very very happy with my breadmaker purchase. This was well worth the money, works very well, is very easy to keep clean, and does what it actually is suppose to do. Very good purchase!

Litebrite says "worth the money" about T-Fal Emerilware Model 42EW705 Emerilware Bread & Baguette Maker by T-Fal

Litebrite — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:44:24 GMT

I got the T-fal Emerilware bread and baguette maker and thought it was a but pricey. However, it makes wonderful bread and baguettes. For me so worth the money. I can have different types of bread made as needed and it is easy. Takes approx 1.5 hours for fresh bread! Clean-up is a snap as well with the non-stick loaf pans. There are so many pre-programmed settings to chose from. I also love the keep warm setting, nice when dinner isn't quite ready. Comes with several tools including the brush and removable baguette tray. Can also get ready and not start the bread for several hours if needed. Another nice option is the crust settings, I tend to like medium but one could make it lighter or darker depending on their preference. The recipes that is comes with have all been very good. Can make dough for pizza, quick breads and all sorts of options. I had heard bread machines are loud this one to my delight wasn't at all.

Qismah says "My new favorite appliance!" about Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838

Qismah — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:43:41 GMT

I'm not that great in the kitchen, but loved the idea of a bread maker after seeing my sister's. First I tried a sunbeam & it was awful, so I returned it & bought this one, worried it wouldn't be any better. I was so pleasantly surprised!! It is so easy to use. I ran out & bought a bread machine cookbook & have tried several recipes. I love baking bread & trying new flavors. It even makes jam! I never thought I would make my own jam, but it was so easy. Now all my friends ask when I'll be bringing them more oatmeal bread & peach jam. I never have to worry, I just put everything in, turn it on & leave it. It looks nice & the controls are easy to use. Only drawback is that there isn't a separate jam setting, but it's not that hard to work around.

amahannah says "Sunbeam is a awsome bread maker" about Sunbeam breadmaker

amahannah — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:33:34 GMT

Awesome one step bread maker. Very easy to use, step by step instruction. Multi choice buttons for time,size, crust colors. Great receipes in the book which comes with the Sunbeam Bread Maker. Breads, Pizza dough, Cinnamon rolls, flavored breads with nuts, fruits, dates. I have no problems making healthy breads and dinners with my Sunbeam bread maker even being a very busy mom, business owner, and I have 6 dogs. I even make them fresh doggy treats weekly. My dogs, kids, and hubby love when I bake and the house smells wonderful. It looks as if i have been in the kitchen all day when It took me less then 15 minutes to make a great dinner roll and desert in less than an a hour. Clean up is so simple two pieces right into the dishwasher and done. Time for more important things such as family time. I can make a weeks worth of food in no time and no mess either. Sunbeam bread maker is awsome and will worth the investment.

stefaniki says "easy fresh home-baked bread" about Breadman Bread Machine

stefaniki — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:29:57 GMT

I cannot say how much I love my Breadman Ultimate Plus bread machine!!! This is the third bread machine I'm on. I burned up the first two by using them so much! The Breadman Ultimate Plus comes with a wonderful instruction manual and recipe guide. there are many wonderful recipes and I tend to make the same 4 or 5 over and over tweaking the ingredients here and there to make them my own. I like to use my machine to make the dough only and then bake it in my oven. I am not fond of the traditional square loaf of bread that comes out of bread machines. This way I can make various shapes, more than 1 loaf from the dough that comes out and my breads look like they've come straight from the bakery! The Breadman Ultimate Plus breadmaker takes the hard part out of making fresh home-baked bread. you put the ingredients in and it mixes, kneads and rises for you. Use the dough setting for perfect dough every time. Clean up is a snap. After I remove the dough, toss in the...

balvanzfamily says "if you like bread, you'll LOVE the Zo....." about Zojirushi BBCCX20

balvanzfamily — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:46:33 GMT

I like bread...No, that's not true. I LOVE BREAD. It would be one of the three items I'd taken with me on a desert island. I mean, what's not to love? Those who say "man cannot live by bread alone" have not owned a Zo.

Owning a Zojirushi bread machine will not only change your bread consumption, but it will alter HOW you look at food. You might even becme a foodie! My husband was less than thrilled at $200+ price tag but we buy quality (so we only have to buy it once). And after that first loaf, he never complained again. In fact, he will admit to being very spoiled by homemade bread. You can't go back to store-bought after becoming accustomed to the rich tastes and textures that you can make in your very own kitchen.

And for those of you, like me, who are on the frugal side of things: After you gulp and swallow the initial price, this machine WILL save you $$$ every week. I no longer spend $2.50 and above for a wimpy loaf of bread, or $3.50 for artisan bread. I make it myself. And I am...
