Cuisinart CBK-100 Review

Countertop Bread Maker  8.5/10

By


Cuisinart CBK-100An efficient breadmaker that does most of the hard work for you, this Cuisinart model lets you choose from 3 loaf sizes and 3 crust shades. Its 12 pre-programmed settings are quite versatile; many people appreciate the option to bake gluten-free bread. Beeping during the second kneading cycle remind you to add any last-minute ingredients and give you the option to remove the paddles so the bread doesn’t have a hole in it. While the manual is not as comprehensive as it could be with baking times, the machine produces consistently good bread and costs just $89.99.
