Once you have freshly made bread, there’s no going back. It can be rewarding to bake sourdough bread at home, but that costs time and patience that most people just don’t have. The solution? Getting a bread maker. Investing in a bread maker not only ensures you get delectable, fresh bread on demand, but it could also save you money on your grocery bill in the long run. The best part of all: You just throw the ingredients into the machine and walk away — the machine mixes, rises and bakes.
As far as bread makers go, our favorite is the Cuisinart Automatic bread maker. We’ve been waiting for a discount on this product for months, and we’re happy to report that it’s finally on sale. Right now, you can score Amazon’s No. 1 best-selling bread maker for 23% off. Considering how long we’ve waited for this deal, we don’t think it’ll last long, so take advantage of this markdown before it disappears.
Cuisinart Automatic bread maker: Save 23%
Amazon
This bread maker truly does all the work for you. All you have to do is add the ingredients, select one of the 12 program options and voila, your bread is ready. The 12 program options are diverse, allowing you to make white, French, whole wheat, sweet and gluten-free bread, as well as cake and even jam.
There are also options for packaged mixes, and the machine even can make premade dough that you bought at the grocery store. If you’re making bread that requires a convection oven, but don’t want to go through the process of making the dough manually, the machine can do that too, just select “dough” or the “artisan dough” options.
Additionally, you can select your desired crust shade — light, medium or dark — and the weight of your loaf — one pound, 1.5 pounds and two pounds. How long your bread or dough takes to make depends on the settings you choose, but overall, expect about 1.5 to five hours of production time.
We like that you can view the progress of your bread via the viewing window on the lid of the bread maker. Plus, if you want to schedule breadmaking while you’re out at work, there’s a 13-hour delay start timer. Purchase includes a helpful recipe booklet as well, which contains recipes for delectable breads such as baklava, brioche, panettone and more.
The Cuisinart Automatic bread maker has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote, “I have used this for three months now and I love it. Easy to clean, works as advertised. The settings are easy to use. I use it a lot and it is showing its value. This is my first bread machine and I am so glad I got this. It does all the work for you.”

Immunocompromised people who are age 65 or older should get a second dose of the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine, according to the latest recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In a statement released Wednesday, the CDC said the second dose should be received six months after the first dose.
The CDC also said its recommendations allow for flexibility for those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised to consider additional doses (three or more). in consultation with their health care provider.
In August, the Food and Drug Administration greenlit updated COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna for the 2024 fall season. The updated shots were revised to target the KP.2 variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and medical experts say it will also provide protection against other recent strains.
This was part of a now-annual process undertaken by the FDA and health authorities around the world to update the vaccines to protect against newer strains of the virus.
Similar to previous seasons, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all Americans ages 6 months and older get a shot of the updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine to protect against another expected surge of the virus this fall and winter.
Still, as another fall virus season approaches, not everyone is following the CDC’s advice. According to a survey from Ohio State Wexner Medical Center last month, less than half of Americans were planning to get their COVID or flu shots this season.
“Data continues to confirm the importance of vaccination to protect those most at risk for severe outcomes of COVID-19,” the CDC noted in the latest release. “Receiving recommended 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines can restore and enhance protection against the virus variants currently responsible for most infections and hospitalizations in the United States.”
The CDC also reminded the public that the COVID-19 vaccine can help reduce the chances of suffering the effects of long COVID.
