I just put in the ingredients in the order listed and perfect bread everytime. My first loaf was the gluten free bread and I added raisins and it still came out great. Never thought making bread could be this simple.
Thanks!!!
Happy breadmaker

Review 4 for Cuisinart 2-Pound Convection Bread Maker CBK-200
hokenrr
fromMechanicville, New York
Our old machine finally gave up and we searched to find another replacement, came across this one and decided to try.!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great, really does what it says, easy to use, the breads are fantastic, and the amount of time it takes from start to finish is good, but no bread machine is fast, but this one is good on time. Would recommend, and already have, to anyone. Dealing with the Chefs sight was great, fast delivery, no hassles, etc. I don't usually write or review products, I think it is a waste of time because bad reviews aren't dealt with anyway, however this was so exceptional I felt compled to review it and share the experience.

I bought my bread maker about 6 months ago. I had never made bread in a machine before. Overcooked the first loaf. Cooked it on the wrong setting. After that, it has been just great. I love the sweet bread it makes. I just take it out and make cinnamon rolls with it. It makes my life so much easier. I love kneading bread, but when you are in hurry the breadmachine is there. Thanks Cuisinart

I bought this breadmaker because it has a Gluten Free cycle, and we serve many wheat free / gluten free guests. It will take a bit of time to learn about all of the features, but so far (4 loves) seems to be working up to expectations.

I was so excited to finally purchase a bread machine but I've not had much luck in getting an edible loaf of bread yet. Now, understand, I'm a good cook of everything else, but I've not had a lot of experience in bread making so I've tried to measure everything just like it says, and I've put the ingredients into the machine exactly in the order given, and while it smells absolutely wonderful the bread doesn't turn out quite right. I wanted to make low carb bread for my husband but that was awful, so I tried two other recipes for me. None of them have worked but I haven't given up yet. The machine is truly easy to understand. It doesn't jump around on my counter. It didn't smoke or give off foul smells on the first use. I love being able to watch the process in the window. The machine is sturdy and probably does a great job, but I just haven't gotten the knack yet. So in the old saying "it isn't you - it's me" i think that's probably true. I'll keep trying!

Great Machine

Looks great and works very well. I have had my best luck using the 2lb option for some reason and it makes a nice loaf. I love having the ability to take the knead bar out and reshape the dough so it doesn't have a hole when done cooking. It is louder than my old one but you get used to it quickly. It has a lot of options I haven't tried yet and I am looking forward to creating new recipes. Well worth the price.

Bread maker easy to use

We bought this about 2 weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend who bought this same model several months ago. We think it is easy to use and well-made - we respect the Cuisinart brand as we have other kitchen appliances made by them.
We've made about 6 loaves of bread so far. All but one turned out great. We intend to try most of the recipes in the book that came with the bread maker - all sound very appealing. It's very cool to let the machine do all of the work for you! Haven't tried the delayed start feature yet but think that will be handy esp. on work mornings.
Would definitely recommend this bread maker.

Makes great dough on the dough settings. Multiple dough settings allow for many types of doughs, from bread to brioche, to artisan doughs with slow rises. The recipe book has a good variety of recipes. I made brioche dough with amazing results!
Baked bread is good, although the crusts tend to be on the thick side.

I understand some of the reviews from other persons where they had issues with the quality of their finished product, but as bread making goes there are many factors no matter if its hand made or a machine, humidity, heat, age of yeast etc. There does need to be a certain amount of supervision involved to get the "perfect" loaf. I tried many of the included recipes before finding the right one and had to tweak it to fit my taste and cooking environment , once that was done I was very pleased with the results.
It can get a little noisy when it is kneading a heavy loaf and can use some scrapping down of the sides to get all ingredients incorporated.
I do suggest using a better grade of flour if possible, King Arthur is all I use and gives the best results. I also found using olive oil instead of butter in most of the recipes gave a better result to the moister and texture of the bread.
So do not be afraid to play with the recipes and modify them to suit your taste and needs.
I love the handles on the sides since I store it on a lower shelf.

A very satisfied purchaser

When the Bread Maker arrived it was damaged. I contacted Customer Service and could not have received better service. Three days later I had a replacement.
First impression upon opening the box was to observe an attractive and well produced product.; it went on to produce a very good first loaf. It is easy to use and the Recipe Book was very explicit , comprehensive and helpful.
I am sure we are going to enjoy making our own breads for many years to come.

Machine works great. Recipe book that comes with it has a great variety of breads. Including Low Carb and No Glueten receipes. This big boy signals before the last rise so you can shape your loaf and take out the kneading paddle.

Great bread maker with extensive cycle choices

I love my Cuisinart Bread Maker!! It is simple and easy to use and the number of cycles to choose from is terrific. My previous bread maker had 11 cycles but this one has 16. I had been looking for a second one but it HAD TO HAVE A JAM CYCLE. None of the brands I reviewed had this available but Cuisinart does. I make fresh jam often. It makes small amounts that are used quickly in our household of 2. It makes in less than 2 hrs, so it is easy to set and leave it while I do something else.

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease (Gluten intolerent) in January of this year. Bread, as I once knew it, is OFF THE MENU !! This breadmaker has opened up a door, I thought was shut. It is easy, convenient and it was shipped on time and delivered as Chef's said it would be. Great experience. I would recommend it to anyone in the market. Great value as well. Good luck and good eating!
