We purchased the Cuisinart CBK-200 Bread Machine a few months ago. It makes some beautiful dough but always burns the bread if you cook it in the bread maker, even on the light crust setting. I have just started making the dough in the machine and then cooking it in the over. Ocassionally when making dough the whole bowl will pop up out of the scoket and then it just makes racket and doesn't mix the dough. Can not be left alone like advertised.

Here's the bread machine you've been waiting for. I purchased this one after my old machine started to smoke. Yes, I use it a lot, especially for doughs. We make focaccia, pizzas, soft pretzels and such. I also use it to prepare specialty breads like Polish Babka for the holidays. The Cuisinart Breead Machine saves me a ton of time and effort. I like to hand shape my breads so having the option to have perfect dough at the ready is great for me.

You will certainly enjoy the auto features of this machine. There are options for every conceivable bread/dough type from white, wheat, french, italian to sweet breads, just to mention a few. It also has a special setting for gluten free and low-carb breads. Great for people who have those needs. I counted 16 different menu cycles for 1 LB 1.5 LB or 2 LB loaves.

The machine has audible tones that are especially helpful if you want to bake your bread in the machine but don't care for the little paddle sticking to the middle. When you hear the tone,...

We love our Cusinart Bread Machine. My husband got it for me after I begged for it for mother's day last year. I use it ALL the time since then. It had more features then I thought I would use but then we found out my son has a wheat allergy. It has a gluten-fee setting on it so I am not able to make his bread too! I also use just the dough setting a lot to make either rolls or pizza dough. We are on our second one because the pan kept popping out but they sent me a new one and it had not popped out once! It comes with a recipe book that has some great breads in it. It also beeps to let you know when to add extra things (raisins, nuts, ect) or when to take the paddle out to avoid a big whole in the bottom of your bread. This machine was worth every penny we spent on it!

stace91 says "Great for white bread" about Cuisinart CBK-200 Bread Machine

I purchased this breadmaker to try and have healthier bread for my family.

I can get a perfect loaf of white bread every time. However, I can follow the directions to a tee and when I try to make any other type of bread, it will fall flat and it is an embarrassment to serve. Of course, we still eat it because it tastes spectacular, it just looks bad.

I have also had issues with the lid wanting to stay closed all the way. To fix this I put a 5lb loaf of flour on the top of it and it holds the lid down perfectly.

The final thing is that it takes it a very long time to cool down to be able to start the next loaf of bread, if you are wanting to make more than one at a time.

The directions that come with the breakmaker are easy to follow and the breakmaker itself is easy to use. Overall, I enjoy it, but I bet there is a better model out there somewhere.

jam412ep says "Cuisinart CBK-200 Bread Machine....MMMMmmm Bread!" about Cuisinart CBK-200 Bread Machine

Both my wife and I have used the CBK-200 and i have found it to be easy to use and makes decent bread for the price.

We bought this bread machine to offset our cost of buying loafs of bread at the supermarket. We also use it occasionally to make a special loaf of bread that we would like to try. We have enjoyed every loaf we have baked so far.

the construction is sturdy with no visible flaws. It's stainless so will go with more modern looking kitchens or ones that already have stainless steel appliances. If you are short on counter top space this may not be your best bet.

It is a bit noisy but what do you expect when it's mixing and kneading dough.

Overall a very good buy for your run of the mill bread machine.

jparso11 says "Do not buy this bread machine." about Cuisinart CBK-200 Bread Machine

jparso11 — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 01:59:18 GMT

Don't purchase this bread maker. I am on my second machine in just eight months, and I will not be returning this one if it breaks again. The drive motor system does not have enough power to mix the dough correctly. This means that you must watch the mixing of the dough and continue to add water at a slow rate until the machine will work correctly. This will than add to much water to the mixture which will cause the bread not to bake correctly. After nine months of this the motor finely fails and no more bread.

So you call and they send you a new unit, you pay $10 for them to send it out UPS. You must return the old unit so you take it back to UPS and they want $20 to send it back. Now your unit that is only nine moths old has cost you a further $30.

The new unit has the same problem so will probly only last for a further nine months and I'll be out another $30.

Now some other things that are wrong with this bread maker.

è As many reviewers have indicated, the machine tends to burn the loaves...

bob-larissa says "Great bread and super easy to use, what more can you ask for?!" about Cuisinart CBK-200 Bread Machine

We received this Cuisinart Bread Machine for Christmas this year after our old Black & Decker one died around Thanksgiving. This machine is fantastic! We've already used it a bunch. It has so many more functions than our old one did, like the ability to delay the start time so that the bread will be ready when we get home from work and not just sit in the bread machine after it's done all day long (anyone who has used one before knows that this make the bread soggy because of all the steam). Also there are specialty settings for glucose-free and low-carb bread, and it comes with a pretty extensive recipe book. Another great feature that our old machine lacked is this one allows you to remove the paddle before it cooks (if you're around, of course). The only "bad" thing is that it's kind of big to keep on your counter all the time, unless you have a huge kitchen....

This Cuisinart bread maker not only serves as a delicious accesory to our kitchen but it is convenient and a huge money saver as well! We never throw out bread because we can make customized smaller loaves and all our ingredients last so much longer than one measley loaf of bread!...

This machine is great, it has lots of features. I loved using it he only problem is that sometimes you don't know hen to take the paddle out so when it is done cooking it gets stuck and is hard to get the bread out. Other than that it is a wonderful bread machine....
