Cuisinart CBK-200 Breadmaker
The Cuisinart CBK-200 Breadmaker is very similar to the CBK-100 model, but it adds in the option of convection heating. This ensures that your bread is heated thoroughly and evenly every single time by spraying heat into all corners and angles of the machine. Add that to the features already found on the 100 model and you have potentially one of the best options in this price category.
Besides convection heating, the Cuisinart CBK-200 convection breadmachine includes other features that ensure your bread comes out exactly as you want it every time. You can choose between three different loaf sizes, including 1 pound, 1.5 pounds, and 2 pounds. There are also three different settings for the darkness of the crust.
Add in 16 preprogrammed bread settings and you have all the options you need to make any type of bread that you want. The settings include options for those on a special diet that restricts the type of bread that can be eaten, such as low carb and gluten free. These special breads can be expensive in grocery stores, so the CBK-200 2lb breadmaker by Cuisinart can actually save a lot of money in the long run.
There are two warning bells on this model, each providing an extra convenience in the bread making process. The first bell tells you it is time to add in nuts, berries, dried fruit, or whatever else you may want to add into your bread. The second bell tells you when it is time to take out the kneading paddle if you do not want that big hole to be left down the center of the loaf.
The machine is capable of making dough, jam and cake as well as a large variety of breads. You can add in whatever you like to add different taste blends and textures to the final product. That is a lot of capability for one reasonably sized bread machine, but there are a few other beneficial features that don’t deal directly with cooking options.
CBK-200 Cuisinart breadmaker reviews speak favorably of the brushed stainless steel body that is stylish, attractive, and fits well into modern designed kitchens. It isn’t the most compact model on the market right now, but with convection capabilities and the ability to make up to 2 pound loaves, it is well worth some extra space for most consumers.
It is also equipped with a 12 hour delay timer so you can set the machine to start baking whenever it is appropriate for your schedule this means you can come home from work with fresh baked bread in the oven or wake up in the morning with sweet bread ready for breakfast.
In the case of a power failure the unit will protect itself, so there is no worry about bread burning or the unit starting a fire if you leave your home while it is baking.
The Cuisinart CBK-200 Breadmaker offers a lot of features that you won’t find with a lot of other models selling for just over $100. If you want to make a variety of bread types and want lots of preprogrammed options that make the process simple and fast, then this is a great model to look into.
