My Bread's BAM-a-licious!

I've tried almost every major brand of bread machine they make (including the Zojirushi), and returned ALL of them - until I got this one! The T-Fal OW5005002 Emerilware Bread-and-Baguette Maker does everything it says, and does it well! I've made cakes (they resemble pound cakes), the baguettes (adorable AND tasty), and several loaves of delicious bread in it! It has two paddles, which does make a difference when kneading dough. The crust selector works better than any other bread machine I've had, and I was really impressed that the breads came out with one texture, the cake another, and the french baguette recipe a third! It makes decently textured pizza dough too (though the delay timer doesn't work on the dough cycle, so I have to make it at the right time to have it ready for dinner).
The unit itself is pretty large, but it functions quietly, and stays in one place on the counter. The pan is 8 5/8" by 4 3/4" by 6" tall, so it makes a loaf that is actual loaf pan-sized! It has way more wattage than the Zo (1650 vs. 700), and so far is proving to be a stunning value! Highly, highly recommended!
I've since found out that the 'cake' cycle is the quick bread cycle. Bakes a wonderful one from a box (that's the only kind I've tried so far). Also, I've tried fat-free loaves and it worked great with them too.
I'm a little disappointed that there's no 'bake only' cycle. That would help me a lot with sourdough loaves. |
Very pleased so far

| I have purchased this bread machine after my old Breadman-Pro broke down. I bake bread every week, and sometimes I give loafs away, so I needed a bigger machine. I chose this one for its capacity of 3-lb bread and the dual kneading-paddle features. I am very pleased so far. The machine does what it promises. I have not tried all the recipes, but the basic white bread and the 3 lb dough were coming right every time. The 2 paddles are powerful and really knead the dough. I am very happy with my purchase, and I am sorry to hear some negative reviews (which kind of made me reluctant to this purchase). I am glad now that I did it. It also had a $20 mail-in rebate (which goes through the whole month of November 2008). |
Emeril has brought out the baker in me!

| Before this machine all I made was box cakes and was not great at it. Bought this machine five weeks ago, using atleast 3-4x a week, and not once have I made bad loaf. Have tried recipies from t-fal, emeril, and [...]. They all have been a hit. My family loves having eggs with fresh bread, my son especially loves the chocolate chip brioche. I just wish teh lcd had somekind of back light, hard to rd at times. Don't be fooled the machine looks cheaply made but works great. Oh yeah have made a tonof stuff that is made in the oven liek pizza dough, cinamon buns, challah bread, and portugueese sweet bread. Still working onwhole wht. Oh yeah have to admit have only used King Arthur flour, yeast, leavening etc. Buy it you wont regret it. Lumaky3 |
This is the best bread machine I've ever had.

This is my third bread machine and the best one I've ever had. I do admit that I don't use a bread machine to cook my bread...I prefer cooking my bread in the oven... I use my bread machines to knead the dough.
My first bread machine was an old Betty Crocker II that I bought back in the late 80s or early 90s. It supposedly made a two pound loaf...I used to knead much more dough than that and it would handle it just fine. After 15 years of loyal service it finally died. My mother gave me a bread machine for Christmas...it was a Magic Chef and I guess it was ok but nothing to write home about...it worked but only just and only with white flour. I have since purchased a mill and started milling my own fresh flour and the Magic Chef just couldn't handle it.
I then started using my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook to make my bread and talk about a nightmare but I'm not even going to go there. I then started looking at mixers that would be able to handle the workload that I was putting on them and the one that I really needed started at around $500.00. I really didn't want to spend that much money.
In my search for another bread machine that I thought might be able to handle the task I came across the T-Fal OW500 and decided to give it a shot. Besides the fact that it was almost a fourth the cost of the mixer, it was designed to knead 3 pounds of dough, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I've had it for about a month now and I couldn't be happier...it works like a dream. It does an awesome job of kneading the dough and I have to say it gives me some of the best-textured bread I've ever had the pleasure of eating.

I received my machine on 11/19 and waited to make different loaves before giving a review. I printed out the instructions in advance before receving the machine to be familiar with the unit before I got it. I did purchase a thermometer to measure the temperture of the water for 99 cents since that seemed very important. My first loaf was from a pakcage, and it turned out excellent, I made the second few loaves from recipes provided and again turned out excellent I finally tried the baguette recipe provided and it amazed me how terrific it turned out. I believe reading the instructions beforehand helped me a lot.
I would highly recommend this machine, Ive had no problems with the paddles sticking to the bread. But I do need to run a plastic knife around the pan to loosen the loaf to have it come out. After studying different machines I know I made the right choice with this one.
