T-Fal Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker

Pros
  • Baguette feature
  • Easy to use
  • Delay timer
  • Dual blades
Cons
  • Customer service lacking, some say
  • Can overbake
  • Loud beep

Reviewers say the T-Fal Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker is a consistent bread machine that produces a good loaf of bread. It is a mid-priced bread machine, less than the Zojirushi BB-CEC20 (*Est. $240) but more than the Panasonic SD-YD250 (*Est. $150) or the West Bend Hi-Rise Breadmaker (*Est. $100) . The double blades do an excellent job of thoroughly mixing all ingredients, owners say, and the unusual baguette pans allow bakers to produce sandwich-sized loaves with ease. Many users like the multiple baking cycles, but most say to avoid the keep-warm feature, as it will quickly dry out your loaf.

We found useful professional reviews at The Wall Street Journal, the Toronto Star and by About.com's guide to cooking equipment. About 50 owners rate the T-Fal Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker at Amazon.com, and about 45 owners post reviews at Cooking.com.

Vicky Sanderson tests the T-Fal Home Bread Baguette (sold in the U.S. as the Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker) and two other breadmakers. She doesn't rank or recommend models, and the reviews for all three machines are mostly positive, focusing on features unique to each model. The Emerilware Bread and Baguette Maker boasts the largest viewing window and two kneading paddles for thorough mixing, as well as the ability to make four sandwich-sized baguettes.
