Best Bread Machines for Lid

however, but for two minor shortcomings (no backlighting on lcd display, lid sometimes needs pressing down with finger to turn off side light), the machine performed very well and i am pleased with

after reading some of the reviews, i ran the machine empty the first time with the pan removed and lid open.

the light is silly; you must lift the lid to use it.

i particularly like the fact that the lid is removable, so it can be washed instead of merely wiped off.

loaf and use the bread flour, it actually makes the loaf so big that it smashes into the lid and the very top doesn't get baked all the way through.

i love the fact that you just place all your fresh ingredients in it, close the lid, push the buttons and this machine does it all for you.

i use king arthur bread flour, which rises higher, so have to use the smaller bread size setting since the larger size pushed the lid open, ha ha.

i have found that the 1.5lb setting produces a large loaf that almost touches the top lid ....

i love the window at the top where you can see the bread forming - no need to open the lid.

the window on the lid is real nice to keep an eye on the progress.

i stick to medium loaves as the large ones always rose up into the lid.

->the brushed metal casing gets hot while it's baking and the handle of the lid is too hot to touch without a potholder.
