Cookworks Breadmaker

The most recent review of this brand/range of breadmaker is over 4 years old, so I thought: "Time to freshen up this section of DooYoo a bit!". This is a review of the Cookworks Signature White breadmaker, as sold in Argos on Cat# 422-9382 (Jan-2008) and other outlets. An abbreviated web-link for this is given below, along with some general info and a proven recipe for those of you doing battle with home-made bread this January. The knead for dough. After the failure of another brand of bargain-basement breadmaker one weekend, I was obliged to seek out a replacement toute-suite, as the young and ever-hungry mouths in our house were due to ...  Read the complete review

Having read previous reviews, I thought I'd buy the cookworks breadmaker. Firstly - remember to do what it says about oil and a cycle to prevent the bread from sticking Secondly - it takes less than 10mins a day to put the ingredients in. Then you can set the timer, so you don't need hours and hours to spare - just programme it to finish when you're home, and I've left it in there for 30-60mins (as the guidelines state) and it's fine. Me and my hubby now NEVER buy processed bread. We make our own brown each day with added linseed, pumpkin, sunflower flax etc in a mix and it's fine. We then keep it in the fridge in a reasealable ...  Read the complete review

Hello everyone and welcome to this review. When my old Hinari bread maker started squeaking it was decided that we really needed a new one! As everyone in the house loves home baked bread we needed one real quick so on the Argos website I went to reserve one:) I saw this one - Cookworks XB1129S, the features really are great which I will explain a little later but it also looked fantastic. It looked very futuristic and they are the sort of products I like so..... Off I went to buy it. It was an amazing price! I only paid 29 Pounds for this..... Seemed too cheap but hey... let's give it a go. I also took out the Argos 2 year warranty as I thought I ...  Read the complete review

A little while ago I told you about the Morphy Richards breadmaker, however the machine actually broke, but as it was still under guarantee I returned it to Argos, this model however was out of stock, so I was offered the “Cookworks Breadmaker” instead with the option of money back too as this machine is £15 cheaper than the original. THE BREADMAKER ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ The actual machine is rectangular in shape, similar in size to a deep fat fryer, and is white in colour. The package consists of the actual breadmaker, bread pan, kneading blade, measuring cup, measuring spoon, and user guide and recipe book. ...  Read the complete review

I bought this bread maker for three very good reasons. The first is that I knew something was awry with English bread when my Portuguese student friend asked me what it has in it to make it last so long. The second reason is the cost of packaged bread, it's astronomical and has reached new heights over the past year. The third and final reason is that I figured, with the economy the way it is, the price of bread could go up even more or the availability reduce drastically, so at least flour wouldn't be in too great demand to start with! As usual, we're were short of cash and my heart sank when I saw the cost of bread makers. I had deluded my self the best ones ...  Read the complete review
