Product Review: Sunbeam Breadmaker

Everyone knows what a breadmaker is. It's a machine that mixes, kneads and bakes the breads of your choice and all you have to do is put the ingredients in, select the type of bread and push start. They are very easy to use and very worth the money spent on them, in my opinion, and the Sunbeam Breadmaker is not different. It is very easy to use and makes the most delicious breads I have ever tasted. After months of asking for one, I finally got my Sunbeam Breadmaker for Christmas. It has been used many times over the last few months and I suspect that it will be used a lot in the years to come.

The Sunbeam Breadmaker retails for approximately $40-$50 at places like Wal-Mart and online. It is well worth that price too. I comes with the breadmaker, the baking pan and paddle that the ingredients go into, a plastic measuring cup, a plastic measuring spoon, a hook to help remove the paddle and an instruction manual that has several yummy recipes in it ready for you to experiment with.

The Sunbeam Breadmaker comes programmed with twelve different breadmaking settings and three different bread color setting. You can make your bread as light or as dark in color as you would like. This is great for those of us who like lighter colored bread as well as those who like their breads darker than most people make. The breadmaking settings include French bread, Sweet breads, an Express Bake setting when you don't have all day to wait on a loaf of bread to bake. The Sunbeam Breadmaker even has settings to bake cakes, make dough that you will bake yourself (great for dinner rolls) and even a setting to make your very own fresh jams. There's nothing better than fresh jam on soft, warm bread. The Sunbeam Breadmaker makes up to a 2lb loaf of bread, giving you the option of a 1.5lb or a 2lb loaf. It even has a nice digital display that counts down the breadmaking cycle so that you will always know how much time is left before your bread is finished.
