There in nothing like the smell of fresh bread cooking!!! I have made bread for over 30 years not untill a few years ago would I even think about getting a bread machine. My family got me an Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838 just a couple of months ago because I had another brand setting in my cabinet way back in the the back you know behind every thing else you don't use but keep. I asked them why did they get me this Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838, they knew I didn't like the one I had because of it being to confusing to use. They got it out of the box, set it up and in just a few minutes I was making my first loaf of bread. As I looked over the book that came with it all I could think was WOW Im so going to be using this machine. It is something that sets out on my counter and I use every day. It is very nice to look at, I did have to move my bread box to make room for it but thats ok because bread doesn't stay around long enough to worry about a bread box. ...

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.

I love my Oster Bread machine. I recieved it as a wedding gift and didn't use it much. Now my husband and I make bread in it at least once week. I would recommend this bread maker to anyone who doesn't have the time to make bread the old fashion way.

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

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.

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.

theladyiscrazy says "The Oster Bread Machine allows fresh baked bread quickly" about Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838

theladyiscrazy — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 03:12:26 GMT

If you like fresh baked bread but don't always have time to make it the old fashion way, then the Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake is the bread machine for you. You simply select a bread recipe from the booklet sent to you. There are 26 bread recipes, from regular to whole wheat and even sweet breads, as well as nine dough setting recipes (including three jam recipes).

Once you select your recipe, you add the ingredients in the order presented, then pop the pan back into the bread machine, select your style of bread, the crust type you like, and push start. Nothing else to do (unless you want to add nuts or something like that) until the bread is done. Voila, a 1 1/2 to 2 pound loaf of bread.

A regular loaf of bread takes about three hours from start to finish. This is the BASIC setting and it kneads the bread, does the rising, kneads again, rises again, "punch down", third rise and bakes. All on it's own.

The whole wheat and frech settings take a little under four hours to complete. ...

I love homemade bread....but not the whole process of making it! So the Oster breadmaker was one of the best presents my husband has gotten me. I love the bread from it and is one of my favorite "helpers" in the kitchen!

morningangel says "Makes wonderful ,aromatic bread" about Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838

morningangel — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:05:19 GMT

My husband bought me the Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838 a few years back. I have used it for special dinners ,such as Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas dinner, and several Birthday dinners for our children. It is very handy, just put everything into the machine and start it up, then take out your bread when you are done. It saves me a lot of time and trouble, not to mention not heating up the whole kitchen by having to use the oven.

vickiscruff says "I can't live without this machine!" about Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838

vickiscruff — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 16:00:12 GMT

I can't live without this machine. I have it for sometime now, and I will be the first to admit that at first making bread in the machine was rathe daunting. Now, after a zillion loafs of breads, often with sunken tops, I have fianlly mastered a good loaf of bread. I had to learn how to adjust the ingredients for high altitude. Now, not only am I making bread in my machine, I make the most fantastic pizza dough ( save tons of money making my own pizza), also I make jams and jelly. No longer am I throwing away fruit. If it looks like I have pieces that are on their way out, I just make jam or a jelly out of them. Combination of fruit makes a wonderful mixed fruit jam.

MaryInCO says "YUMMMM....FRESH BREAD!" about Oster Bread Machine ExpressBake 5838

MaryInCO — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 21:16:15 GMT

I got my breadmaker! I decided to write this review because I've "tried" to make four loaves of bread with it. I'm not giving up on it yet because I did lots of research on it, now that I own it. So let me just tell you my experience.

I love Oster products. This is more expensive than some other brands but this is the one my kids gave me for Mother's Day. I believe that they made a good choice....with ulterior motives!

This breadmaker can make 1 lb., 1 1/2 lb. and 2 lb. loaves of bread. I tried all three. The one loaf that came out good was with the 1 1/2 lb setting.

There are 18 settings for different varieties of breads. I chose three different ones and tried the regular white bread to repeat, which was my sucessful loaf. Three crust settings for light, medium and dark. I tried all three of those as well. Again the one loaf that came out good was on the light setting. There is a good sized glass window on the top that I used and is handy to see exactly what was going .... wrong, as the...
