The Sunbeam 5891 2-Pound Programmable Breadmaker is easy to use ,produces a good sized loaf and represents value for money with its reasonable purchase price. One of its drawbacks is its bulky size which can take up a lot of valuable counter space.


Below is a list of the Sunbeam 5891 2-Pound Programmable Breadmaker feaures:

The Sunbeam 5891 2-Pound Programmable Breadmaker can produce both traditional and specialty breads easily and automatically. Cycle times for the Sunbeam 5891 range from the 58-minute ExpressBake for a thicker-crusted slightly denser loaf, to 3 hour 40 minutes for a 2-pound loaf of French bread.

· 2 Express Bake Settings

It is important to add ingredients in the order specified in the Sunbeam 5891 manual. This can vary between different makes of breadmakers ,so ensure that that the instructions are read correctly. One of the disappointments of the Sunbeam 5891 is the small number of recipes provided in the manual.

Breadman TR875 2 Pound Breadmaker Stainless Steel

The Breadman TR875 2-Pound Breadmaker, Stainless Steel
is a more compact size compared to other Breadmaker Machines that produce 11b and 2lb loaf sizes.This is a big advantage as it take up less counter space ,which can be a deciding factor for consumers with a smaller size kitchen.It has a stainless steel exterior to compliment the most up-to-date kitchen.




The Breadman TR875 2-Pound Breadmaker, Stainless Steel has several features as listed:

-Bake 1lb, 1.5lb & 2lb horizontal loaves
- Fully programmable

The Breadman TR875 2-Pound Breadmaker, Stainless Steel has an acceptable noise level. When operating, the sides remain reasonably cool,but the bottom can generate a fair bit of heat. We would recommend placing a heat resistant surface under the machine.A horizontal loaf is produced by the Breadman TR875 2 Pound Breadmaker Stainless Steel for the 1 lb and 1.5lb loaf pan size, but I have found that the larger 2 lb loaf can be as high as it is long. Sometimes intervention is required during the kneading cycle when using the Gluen-free cycle on the BreadmanTR875 2 pound Breadmaker Stainless Steel. This is not only a problem with the Breadman TR875 2 Pound Breadmaker Stainless Steel machine as the Gluten-Free cycle can cause problems in other breadmaker machines. The Breadman TR875 2 Pound Breadmaker Stainless Steel package includes a very good manual with a nice range of recipes. A measuring cup and spoon are also included.

Overall the Breadman TR875 2 Pound Breadmaker Stainless Steel is an excellent machine, offering value for money at its price point.The more compact size is also an added advantage.

Advantages of Using a Breadmaker Machine

There a several advantages to using a breadmaker machine. They can produce a warm, mouth watering loaf of home baked bread at the push of a button. A breadmaker is basically a mini stand alone oven fitted with a dough paddle to knead the bread during various cycles at a controlled temperature to ensure optimum rising temperatures.

You can produce endless varieties of bread using a breadmaker machine. By buying
a ready made bread mix, the process of making bread in your own breadmaker is
further simplified. Bread mix, water and yeast (provided with bread mix) are added to
the breadmaker machine, a cycle selected, push to start and that's it. Three or four hours
later, a fresh loaf of home baked bread is ready. The flour used in making bread is different
to normal all purpose flour and it is important to use the right type of flour to produce a
good loaf of bread. Breadmaker machines can also make fantastic dough that can be used to make bread rolls, pizza dough and other culinary delights.

There are several choices available in breadmaker machines.The loaf size is one of the main deciding factors. Are you feeding a couple or a family? Do you want it fully automated to add nuts or seeds at certain parts of the cycle or do you just want a very basic model-the choice is yours. A breadmaker can be pre-programmed to turn on and bake bread while you are out or asleep.

A breadmaker machine gives you complete control over what you want to put in your bread, which is especially helpful for people with special dietary requirements, such as allergies and food sensitivities. You decide what ingredients and what preservatives, if any, go into your breadmaker. This is a great health advantage and also a great cost saver in the long run. A breadmaker enables you to produce a cheap, tasty and healthy loaf of bread, as opposed to an expensive, processed loaf of bread with virtually no taste.
