Nurse Kitchen: My Favorite Bread Maker

My Favorite Bread Maker

If you are like me, you probably don’t have a lot of time to cook. After a long day in the hospital, who has time to make a decent meal.

For this year, I decided it’s time to change. I’ve decided to commit to making some healthy food at least twice a week. During the shopping frenzy of the holidays, I bought myself a used Cuisinart BMKR 200PC from Craigslits. Here my review of the bread maker.

The handsome brushed aluminum color will match the newer model stoves and refrigerators easily, just like its counterpart the Cuisinart CBK 200 bread maker. The name “cuisinart” represents quality, and the same is true of this bread maker.

This is where the Cuisinart BMKR-200PC comes in. This machine does it all for you. There are 12 menu options that are completely programmable. You can make bread to fit the taste of everyone with the three different crust settings and three different loaf sizes.

People who are gluten intolerant will enjoy the ability to make a loaf of gluten-free bread at home. Many grocery stores have gluten-free products, but they cost a phenomenal amount of money.

The Cuisinart BMKR-200PC gives you fresh bread whenever you want it.

Other features on the Cuisinart BMKR-200PC include a delay timer that allows …
