Cuisinart Bread Maker Machine, Stainless Steel Automatic Bread Machine with 12 Menu Options, 3 Loaf Sizes up to 2 Lb., 3 Crust Colors, Removable Nonstick Baking Pan & Kneading Paddle, CBK-110NAS

I waited a long time before writing this review because I wanted to make sure I could say something beyond the honeymoon stage. Now I'm finally ready to do so. This machine has turned out to be a blessing. Sure, it has its quirks like any other automatic appliance. For instance, the suction cups that should secure it to a counter surface aren't that strong (more on that later), but at least it does what it offers. Now, I need to inform you that while the basic white bread process renders the most delicious bread on earth, the whole wheat was a disaster. I will take responsibility for it, because machines aren't smart enough to fail on their own. I liked that I can add stuff or replace it and the machine keeps on going (I learned to use oil instead of butter, real milk instead of powdered milk, and to add raisins or cranberries to my white bread). Good things: timer reliability, very good dough kneading, crust baking, ease to prepare bread and to remove loaf at the end. Not too satisfactory (but then, this may be because of other factors): whole wheat bread was a disaster, and so was trying to make a baguette dough. It just didn't rise, but I'm taking responsibility because I must have made a mistake. Now, the funny story (back to the suction cups): I got used to set up the machine at 10 or 11 o'clock the night before to wake up to freshly baked bread. This machine is good at it. However, when it's in the kneading cycle it almost dances... and the last time I left it to work overnight, it danced... and fell to the floor. Disaster: the dough was on the floor (salvageable), and the machine lost its lid (broken hinge). Here's the nice part: I contacted the manufacturer. They requested that I sent them a photo of the damaged machine. I did, and their reply was to offer me a new one, free of charge, as a courtesy—yet, with the severe admonition that I should never leave the machine unattended. Why make it programmable then? In any case, if the machine performance was quite satisfactory and the bread was loved by my whole family, now I can add a word about Cuisinart: they really stand by their product. The machine was so tough that even with a broken hinge it still made good bread! Needless to say, I'm continuing using this machine and can recommend it because of its ease of use, bread quality (at least the white bread) and good results.

This bread maker is compact, easy to use, and perfect for home baking. The bread comes out soft, fresh, and delicious every time. I really like that it doesn’t take up much space in the kitchen and the settings are simple to understand. Great for making homemade bread with minimal effort!

I’ve reviewed numerous bread maker reviews all over the internet and after many hours of watching what users had to say, I decided on the cuisinart compact bread machine. I am just baking bread for myself so I did not need a 3lbs loaf machine. My eyes were on the Zujirushi 1lbs mini but it is double the price of the cuisinart compact. Now; the cuisinart compact is pretty small and I was happily surprised to actually see it on my very limited counter space. Stainless still housing makes it look very professional. Baking; very easy to use functions and not one problem with any recipe. Wow. I was more than impressed. Absolutely. Makes fantastic 1lbs loaves but is suited for all 1, 1.5 and 2 lbs loaves. I tried all sides and all came out fantastic! I have to say that the 1.5 and 2 lbs loaves were not much different in size. Nit sure why but I’ve tried a few and fir me, I just need a 1 or 1.5lbs anyway so I wasn’t worried about that at all but realized that may be you’ll save some ingredients by just going for the 1.5lbs instead of a 2lbs recipe. The pan is not ceramic coated but I can live with that. The kneading paddle never got stuck inside the bottom of my bread, ever but always stayed stuck inside the pan because of a tiny dough amount going underneath it while backing, ergo keeping it right there in place. To me it was ok but you have to soak and wiggle this paddle a but to get it off after baking. Takes 10 seconds but I thought I have to mention it. Tye kneading noise is not bad at all. Definitely lower than other bread machines I’ve been around but yes you will hear it. The beeping to remind you to add your nuts ir raisins or whatever your recipe requires is very loud and long. Yep. It is. Loud and long but again, I live in a studio so I hear everything right by me, lol. OVERALL; this machine gets a 9.5 out of 10 from me and believe me, I am picky. I feel like baking bread every day because I am so impressed by this machine but of course I can’t eat a loaf every day. So what do I do? I bake for my neighbors, too! Most appreciate a fresh and no preservative added loaf of bread. The price of this machine is well worth it for me but again; i am picky and i love good quality. If you’d love to get one of these but simply can not or want nit pay the price, here is a last advise from a very picky researcher, me; you could try the Vevor up to 2lbs bread machine for about $76 (look around) and that machine too is just great except it has no stainless steel housing. Hint hint. I do not know how long this other one would last you, though. - Sorry cuisinart but it’s an honest review here and again - Cuisinart is just a great, quality brand! Period. If you are looking for quality and great results, cuisinart compact bread machine is an excellent choice!

I reviewed an item that was clearly returned by someone else, the product box was damaged and disheveled. The breadmaker has a scratch down the front. I wanted to exchange it for a new one since I paid for a new product, but this was not an option. Other than this, machine works well. Easy to use. Makes noise but not more than expected.

This is a phenomenal bread, machine! It makes great sourdough bread, and many other types of breads. I hear from ‘experts’ that this is the bread machine to purchase for consistent high-quality bread. There is only one problem with it; it has a computerized screen that is super sensitive. It is much more sensitive than touching your cell phone. So after you program the bread on the right cycle (sourdough…), the weight/size loaf, the right color, then walk away and don’t go near it again. Because if you hit it somewhere midway, you might be throwing out that loaf…. But that’s really the only problem with it. So I consider this phenomenal. You might read that some people have a problem with getting the stirring rod out, after the bread is done. As sometimes it feels stuck. They do provide a hook to try to remove it with. Helpful hint that works every time: I put olive oil into a dropper. Then before I’m going to use the bread machine, I will grease the hole of the stirring rod in the post where the stirring rod will sit with olive oil, making sure that that inner diameter if you will is totally coated, and that the base where the stirring rod is going to sit is totally coated. Then when your bread is done, the stirring rod should come off fairly easy, if it doesn’t, you just put the whole pan in stirring rod into some warm soapy, water, and let it soak, and it will come up. Now, very important: get one of those little brushes that you use for the stainless steel straws and clean the inside of the stirring rod hole, and the pole that it sits on. Make sure that pole that it sits on is smooth. I found that the bread recipes in the book might not have been as good as some that I found on YouTube; for me, it’s trial and error, as factors like, how old my sourdough starter is will dictate how much wheat gluten and active yeast I’m using. I believe they’re 17 different bread settings, and one of them is totally variable meaning you get to plug-in your times that you want. Which now makes it totally customizable as far as what you can do with this bread machine. There is a time delay on it; in case you wanna wake up to fresh bread. And as soon as your bread is done, it will swap over to a warm cycle that will last an hour. Cleaning it has been a piece of cake. Sorry this was so long, but this has been the greatest most exciting thing I’ve had in my kitchen in decades. I actually hate cooking. But this bread machine has actually been very fun.

So easy to use. Bread comes out perfect and cleaning is super fast and easy!! Well worth the money and allows us to make our bread toxin free.

we stocked up a lot on staples due to the pandemic. granted we do a lot of baking in our household but with so much flour and cornmeal i did not want any of it to go to waste. problem is time, baking from scratch takes time and right now we haven't a lot of that to spare. so i searched, read up and bought this our first bread maker. to start with this doesn't just make bread. cakes, rolls, jelly, etc. the machine looks nice is pretty compact with only two parts, the pan and the mixing tine. the instructions are well written and easy to understand. even if you lose them printed on the machine is the information you need for selecting the proper mode. to use it, it is this simple. just dump your ingredients into the pan. drop the pan into the bread maker. press the first button for what you plan to make, there are 14 choices. if making bread then next choose if you want a light, medium or dark colored crust. if not making bread then you just press the start button. if making a larger bread recipe e.g.2lbs then you press the size button for that otherwise that's all there is to it. once started it mixes everything, no need to let anything rise etc. once it is time it then bakes the contents. you can remove the mixing tine before baking starts but honestly it is far easier and less messy to pull it out of whatever it is you have baked once done. that said no matter what you are baking when done removing the contents is very easy. the coating used on the pan means when you turn it upside down the contents just slide on out. then as said remove the tine, remember it is hot! a nice part is that there is a power safety. in the event the machine loses electricity/power it remembers what it was doing for up to 15 minutes so it can start back up where it was when the power went out. clean up is virtually nil. if doing a larger bread batch 2lbs sometimes it will rise up and just touch the inside of the glass viewing window. then you'll need to wipe that part down. but otherwise the only parts you need clean are the pan and tine. i have nothing negative whatsoever to say about this machine. i could not be happier with every aspect of this bread maker. well made, well priced, simple to use, little to clean up and never a bad result! I really like this and if i could give it six stars i would. i can recommend this to anyone thinking of doing more cooking at home or who just likes fresh food.

I am beyond disappointed in this bread maker. In fact, I am downright angry about it. For 18 years, my Panasonic bread maker produced delicious loaves of bread of every type - hundreds of loaves. But one day it finally ran out of life, and I was terribly sad to learn that Panasonic bread makers were no longer available. Oh, well - time for a new one. Enter this Cuisinart. I had high hopes, having read so many good reviews here on Amazon and knowing the reputation of the Cuisinart name. Unfortunately, I failed to read the bad reviews - many of them written in recent months. The first thing I noticed upon opening the box was how small and lightweight the machine was. I soon discovered that one reason for the light weight was that the loaf pan was extremely thin and light, weighing probably a third of what my Panasonic weighed. As I prepared my first recipe, I wondered how that very thin pan would affect the baking process. I was soon to find out… I carefully read the instruction manual and then filled the pan with my favorite wheat bread ingredients and then chose the correct settings. Immediately, the machine to mix the dough. But… although the paddle spun the ingredients around but it was obvious that the mixture wasn’t being kneaded properly. I thought that perhaps as the program continued its steps, the kneading would get better. It didn’t. The bread was poorly mixed, rose very little, and ended up baking into a dense, dry brick. The next day I proofed a tablespoon of my yeast to make sure it was good (it was), so I went ahead and prepared another recipe and placed it in the machine. I watched the machine “mix” the dough, but it barely even mixed the ingredients together before it began to simply spin the dough around without any kneading whatsoever. I let the machine play out its program, though, because what good is a machine that you have to help do its job? Once again, it produced an inedible loaf of “bread” (more like a brick than a bread, though). The two loaves of “bread” produced by this machine weighed 1.25 pounds and measured 4.5” x 4.5” x 4.5”. That’s right - a 4.5” cube for a 1.5 pound loaf of “bread.” I immediately returned the machine for a refund, and I thank Amazon for making returns like these an easy process. I will think twice before ever purchasing anything produced by Cuisinart again. And I’ll be searching for a Panasonic bread maker in my local thrift stores. If you’ve read this far and are still considering this machine, let me throw out a couple of thoughts. First - the sides of the loaf pan are coated with some sort of nonstick coating that is SO slick that I wonder whether that causes a problem for the dough during the rising stage. I cannot imagine how the dough can rise and STAY inflated with that incredibly slick surface. Second - there is no heating of the chamber during the rising stage. My old Panasonic was so heavy and well-insulated that room temperature would not really affect it very much. The heat created by the mixing process itself was sufficient to keep the dough at a good temperature, so even in our air conditioned home, the dough rose perfectly. Third - because the loaf pan is extremely thin and lightweight, heat from the baking process might need to be lower than that of my old machine. This is just a guess, but it seems like that would make sense. If so, this might affect the final result. At any rate, it was incredibly disappointing. Never again, Cuisinart. You have lost a customer.

Linda e muito potente. Entrega tudo e bem mais. Parabéns Cuisinart 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is definitely worth the money. This little machine makes amazing bread because I can't. I've had it for months now before doing a review because I wanted to really give an honest opinion about it. It's compact. Easy to clean and store. Doesn't take up much room on the counter. it's a little on the noisey side but I sill love it. It's easy to use. As long as you use quality ingredients you will always have great bread/ dough. I would definitely pass on the recipes that are included with it. Just go to Pinterest or any other site for bread maker recipes.

Al principio tenía mis dudas con respecto al tamaño del pan sin embargo mis dudas fueron despejadas al preparar la primer hogaza del pan. Es muy fácil de usar, solo agregas los ingredientes colocas el tipo de pan y listo la máquina hace todo el trabajo. Lo que te permite realizar otras actividades o dejarla en la noche y despertar con pan tibio. Cuando la ví me llamas la atención y tenía mis dudas de adquirirla pero ya teniendo la te das cuenta que si es una buena opción para la gente que quiere dejar de consumir pan procesado y optar por otras opciones o hacer algo propio ya que puede ayudar a preparar masa y de ahí terminar la cocción en un horno convencional. Toda esta recubierta con material antiadherente y no se le pega nada así como no guarda olores. La limpieza se puede hacer fácil con un trapo húmedo y queda excelente, la "cubeta" de mezclado esmuy sencilla de retirar y fácil de limpiar igualmente. Al ser cúbica fácilmente puedes colocarla en una esquina y estará lista para usar cuando quieras. Cuenta con recetario en español y si no, puedes solicitarlo al servicio al cliente de cusinart y te lo mandan de inmediato. Es buena máquina, el pan queda bien cocido (recomiendo un color intermedio) y el pan será tan rico como tú lo hagas y claro la sensación de que estás comiendo algo diferente está presente y eso hace que sea un poco más rico.

Incrivel, muito bom. Gosto muito de fazer pão nele. Mas senti muita dificuldade de fazer pão sem gluten. Eu acho que esse tipo de pão necessita de uma técnica e material diferenciado, além de ingredientes muito específicos. O pão para sair bom, precisa ficar uma bolinha dentro do aparelho, e nao pode ficar pegajoso. Ja o pão sem glutem é dificil de deixar uma bolinha, sempre fica pastoso. Mas os pães com glutem junto de farinha integral ficam ótimos.

Bought this machine after use of two other brands over past 10 years. I love this one. Every recipy turns out great - the regular one I use for bread, the few from the book that comes with the machine. I tried many of them so far and happy with the outcome. I love the fact that it allows you to remove the blade and bake the bread without it. It’s easy to cut the bread afterwards, as there is no hole on a bottom, which was usual case with other machines I had. I like the look of it, the quality, the bread it makes and the price. Highly recommended!
