Brian, I get the DAK catalogue and have been wondering if Drew is ever going to get into Mac stuff? Iris

Iris, I just don't think the right deal has come along yet. Bryan/DAK

Ok, Bryan. I'll keep my eye on the catalogue. By the way I have the TurboBaker. Whole family loves it. Got my brother to buy one and he got a second one as a wedding gift for a good friend. Now that is a hot item! Iris

Now that is a hot item! I've been curious about the TurboBaker myself, Iris. Has it been pretty easy/convenient to use? –)@ Patty @(– Not a very good baker

>>>>> I've been curious about the TurboBaker myself, Iris. Has it been pretty easy/convenient to use?<<<<< Well Patty, it is so easy to use, it is beyond belief. DAK sends you a recipe book and has a newletter with more recipes and all you do is put the stuff in the baker and push start. Each recipe gives you the order in which the ingredients are to be added for the best results. Making bread usually takes under 10 minutes of my time; the TurboBaker does the rest. And it is very easy to clean too. I just keep it right on my countertop and we all use it weekly. Iris

Last night my wife used the Turbo Baker and forgot to put some sort of rubber gasket in. The bread cooked down into the machine and burned. Now we can't get the bread pan out and it looks like the breadmaker, not the bread is toast. Does DAK have a repair policy?

Yikes –> re the rubber gasket on your TurboBaker. But I am just another owner of the product. It is Brian you want to address your note to. By the way sometimes the bread coats the dohickey in the middle even with the rubber gasket and you have to twist and yank gently to get the pan out and use a knife to clean off the sticking dough afterwards. Have you tried the yank it out approach? If the coils don't have cooked dough on them there is little you can ruin. Iris

this is really stupid! I am not interested in reading about dak's bread machine in the cd rom section…please take your culinary questions elsewhere!!!

The only problem I could foresee is that as much as we like bread around here we'd all certainly weigh a ton in short order. <G> Patty

I got a DAK Baker, ordered from the "returned stuff" catalog. First unit, 3 failures for 3 tries. Sent it back; replacement unit: i partial failure, several/many partial -to-total successes, but I've only stuck to one recipe with only one variation (Whole Wheat, with added Oat Bran. It comes out solid enough to make half a meal, easily, either as soup & bread, or as a sandwich. I don't use mine often enough to justify/amortize the cost, yet, but that time will come.

Sent it back; replacement unit: i partial failure, Did you get the Turbo Baker or the regular one? with only one variation (Whole Wheat, with added Oat Bran. It comes out solid enough to make half a meal, easily, either as soup & bread, or as a sandwich. The results sound promising. Thanks for the info. Patty
