My husband has taken on the delightful job of breadmaker in our home and the smells coming from the Emeril's Breadmaker are wonderful. So far our favorite is the rye bread.

I have made a loaf of bread every 2 days, I've made spinach pasta, and twice made the French loaves. Oh my gosh. After having a different brand for 12 years, I am blown away by how great this machine works. My family loves the normal sized loaves. It makes for better sandwiches. I love the ability to change the crust color and the size of the loaf. The wheat cycle gives the bread extra time for rising. The quality of the machine is rock solid. I appreciate the accessories (the teaspoon/tablespoon, the cup, the brush, and especially the hook for pulling out the paddles). Everything cleans up quickly. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

And, I have worn out 4 machines. That is how much I use them. This is a wonderful machine. I love the large capacity. However, I use the machine for a dough machine, not to bake in it. I have used the baguette cycle and the loaves were great and I will use it again.

I love to cook, but have never really gotten into making bread. This bread maker is everything Emeril said it is. Everything came as promised and after 3 weeks I have tried several recipies, including bagettes. Thanks Emeril and Tfal for delivering a great product at a fair price. Something that does not happen much these day's.

No problems yet. I have made 4 2-lbs. loaves with the light crust cycle and it is just right. All the accesories are nice to have, includng the baguette maker. To make a better shaped 2-lb. loaf, the dough should be manually distributed before rising; otherwise, it tends to be a little loop sided. I will use mine to make Christmas gifts again this year.
