Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The bread machine is truly a boon for the home baker who doesn't have a lot of extra time, but who still wants the unbeatable taste of homemade bread. ChefMate's 2-pound automatic breadmaker is focused on delivering a nice loaf without any struggle. It mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread automatically, with 10 different settings (including a special setting for whole-wheat bread) and a choice of 2-, 1-1/2-, or 1-pound loaves. This bread machine is pre-programmable, meaning it can bake a loaf while you're at work or sleeping--though you shouldn't use this option if using ingredients that spoil. Other nice features on this breadmaker include the ability to make cakes and jams, a beeper that tells when to add fruit and nuts, a cooldown feature, and an extra-large window that allows you to watch the bread progress. It's also compatible with most prepackaged bread mixes, which is nice when you're in serious hurry. --A.J. Rathbun

3.0 out of 5 stars A good bread machine but..., May 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Chefmate TR7000 Chrome Bread Machine (Kitchen)

I've been using this machine for about three years. The breads are really good, but I have some issues: if for any reason do you want to stop the machine, you have to re-start the whole process again; the kneading process is too strong and takes too long. I also don't like the big hole in the breads. I take care of my kitchen appliances very well, but the chrome is starting to show some brown spots. If you don't have another option, this is a good machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Delighted With The Chefmate Bread Machine, June 24, 2001

This review is from: Chefmate TR7000 Chrome Bread Machine (Kitchen)

Having made my bread from scratch for many years, I resisted even thinking about a bread machine. I only purchased it because of the terrific price deal. Two days after receiving the machine & the 'Bread Machine Cookbook V' by German, (which I highly recommend also) I chose three recipes: Onion Cheese, Pumpernickel, & Stollen - Each loaf turned out perfect. Absolutely no problems of any kind! I had read opinions from buyers for other bread machines, which bothered me, but none of their complaints interfered with my bread results. It preformed exactly as promised, was easy to clean, & the bread was delicious even though I altered the recipes to suit my tastes (daring for a first time user). I set the machine on my washer, in my laundry room, out of any drafts, watched the mixing & kneading periods (as the book recommended) & left it to finish. The only disappointment to me, is the lack of the traditional loaf shape, & I will use my machine's 'stop after mixing' mode & shape my own for oven baking, when I have time. I hate to admit the machine is as good as I am at bread making. Onita

3.0 out of 5 stars Operation Has Been Wonderful For About Two Years But, November 24, 2002

Robert J. McGinness (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chefmate TR7000 Chrome Bread Machine (Kitchen)

Machine works great but the metalic covering on the plastic paddle is comming off. Logically, this covering goes into our bread (we do not tast it but it cannot be good for us). A new paddle ought to be the logical solution. It is afterall, a very small part. But, we can not locate the manufacturer to order a new part. If we cannot find a replace paddle, we shall have to dump the machine for a new machine (Panisonic?). Manufaturer address not on instructions, not on machine itself nor available on internet. For want of a paddle, the machine is lost!
