Love Love Love the Bread Bowl!
on January 8, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll admit I was a little concerned after reading a couple of poor reviews about the bread bowl. I realize now that these folks just didn't follow the instructions. If you follow the guide then you'll love this bowl, as well!
- I especially love the high sides and use this bowl almost exclusively now because of that
- I've used the lid as a sort of baking "stone"
- The cinnamon roll bread is especially fun and delicious!
If you enjoy baking, you'll enjoy this bowl!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The idea is there but the product needs a fix.

The Good: I'm not a good cook, but my first 5 attempts at making bread came out beautifully using this. I used a slightly different recipe from the NYT like all the other "easiest bread recipes" you can find online. So for that I think this is a great product. Unfortunately the bad is a deal breaker: The bowl and lid need to be non-stick. If you try to flour there inside of the bowl, the flour burns and sticks hard, requiring steel wool to remove, even after soaking overnight. Even if placing the dough on parchment on the lid/ now base during baking, if you don't flour the bowl, the bread will stick to the sides of the bowl/now being used as a lid to bake. No matter how you cut it, the usefulness of the item is eliminated. Either you have burnt flour and a great deal of hard scrubbing or bread stuck to the sides requiring hard scrubbing. It's a bummer. I was really into baking bread but after 5 passes, I got tired of scouring and scrubbing it clean. Now I get excited at the idea of making bread, but the thought of all the scrubbing shuts that down fast.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

INCREDIBLE!!!

I bought the bread bowl for my daughter for Christmas and one for myself. We made a loaf that evening for Christmas dinner- all nine people raved about the bread. SUPER EASY to use! The classic boule recipe that comes with the machine cost about 75 cents to make using premium flour and tastes way better than store bakery bread!
I recommend using parchment for baking. Also, the first loaf we didn’t clean the bowl between the first and second risings. The second loaf, I did clean between those. I definitely preferred that as it was much easier to clean a little dough between those risings than dried on dough after baking. If you’re debating this bread machine, stop. Buy it…truly it was so easy and fantastic bread!!! One additional note, I have the scale & sifter attachment and it is AMAZING as well…used it to make this bread also!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad design, untested recipe
on December 19, 2022

from Santa Monica, California
My husband gave this to me as a Hanukkah present, so of course today I baked bread. I followed the enclosed recipe (Classic Boule) exactly, weighing everything in grams and lining the lid with parchment paper. The rising dough stuck to the inside of the bowl as it was baking, cementing it to the lid. I had to cut and pry them apart with a knife. The bread was torn apart, much of it remained stuck to the bowl. See the pictures.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not what I expected
on October 30, 2022
Posted by: JMMT
from Texas
Very disappointed with this product, is cumbersome, bowl is not stable when on oven rack, lid fits not on smooth side as expected but the rough edge (thought I got a “second”; while my bread baked ok (I’ve been baking bread for decades) the bowl and lid both became VERY STAINED on first use, tried everything to wash it and will not become cleaner.
You can exactly make and proof the dough and expect to directly cook the bread in it if making artisan bread. Recipes will note bowl and lid must be (empty) preheated with the oven…so dough must go into a banner on basket or bowl to proof or will need to transfer out of bowl temporarily and clean, before can preheat it.
Idea is great but the design is off for my use. Need better stoneware material re staining…and can’t believe people said easy to clean…maybe did not have cooked it?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

High quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the dual function of this bowl. It’s great for mixing and prepping the dough, and creates a good vessel for letting the dough rise. The fact I can bake it in there as well is so great! It’s very heavy duty so I can tell it’s a high quality item. I need to bake bread more often now that I have this!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Makes for perfect bread!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bowl fit really well with my mixer. It retains heat and cooks the bread evenly. It is also very easy to clean. I was able to make perfect bread and I am not the best cook out there. This is an essential kitchen piece to own.
I would recommend this to a friend!
