RECIPES? I would appreciate some recommendations. I have seen lots of complicated ones, but am looking for favorite practical ways of using it. TY!

Honestly, since this doesn't really expand much I will put this in my soups when I use my slow cooker. Casseroles when I am baking. I've even added it to my rice in a rice cooker. You just have to make sure it is in liquid to soften up. Hope this helps.

I have! I use the "dough" option (I think #9) and it works great! I use a recipe from a cookbook I own. 1 Cup of water, 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, 3 Cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. Salt, 2 Tbsp. dry yeast. Let the machine do the work, and 1.5 hrs later..boom! Pizza dough ready for handling or freezing for later! :) (Optional flour combos I've done: 1/2 C. Corn meal flour, 1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour, and 1 C. bread flour. You can also add spices like garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme...to add extra flavor!)

Greetings...just in case you are the owner of a 64 bit edition of Windows 7 I have successfully imported my recipes from Key Gourmet into Living Cookbook 2011. I just did the first one in less than 3 minutes and now I know what I am doing you can get it down to a couple minutes per recipe. Beats the tweedle out of losing the recipes, or keeping an old machine around just for KG. I am going to write up a "how-to" doc for my wife to use so she can help (we have over 500 recipes in Key Gourmet). If you would like a copy just post a reply to this.

Sorry to report that recipes are a dime a dozen out there and that I have hit on some really bad ones. Some recipes found in my kamado manual were not very good either. Your best bet is to web search for cooking times only and use your own favorite seasonings.

I used what the mix recommended. It's non-stick, but I checked with fork at midpoint and at end just to make sure. When batter turned into cake as fork showed I pulled it out of oven. It came out fine. Most important is to use a good amount of Pam on divider blades and everywhere else. Non-stick doesn't work as well as you'd think. Use/spray oil. If not its a bear to clean. I found out the hard way.

I have never thought to used it for baking bread.. where do you find recipes?

There isn't a guide as far as I know. Doneness can be a very individual preference so it would be difficult to give recommendations. Many cookbooks and web sites do have charts that will help you

I would say that the recipes you find online are better than those in the booklet. They're pretty basic recipes, but I haven't tried any myself. I have had great success with what I have found on Pinterest.

I looked online for the instructions. I have used mine now for months. Neherel@yahoo.com is my email. I can answer any questions you have. Ask away... Jeremy

Hello, I haven't used MasterCook 9.0, but have used and use much earlier versions of MC--4.0 and 5.0--for precisely your pupose. My sister and I started out using and choosing from thier formats, but our book got so large, we are now using it in combination with Publisher so we can add additional features separate from the recipes. I'm not able to comment on the other product you mention. We started our project a little over 10 years ago. MC was the best one we found at the time. For health reasons and others, it has taken us a good while to complete our project, but we've found MC 4.0 and 5.0, even as old as they are, still great resources. Easy to use, quite a few recipe layout options, 5.0 has more complete nutrition information, places to write notes/family anecdotes at the start or finish of your recipe, flexibility with the ingredient list, in case you are using something not included there or are using another recipe as an ingredient. I imagine 9.0 is even better, more updated, though like I say, I can't speak to it directly. Hopefully someone else can help you with that. Good luck with your project. CV

I had originally purchased one of these... but I actually returned it because it was a little too difficult for me to learn how to use properly. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Isn't this the most wonderful dessert? "Cook covered on high for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes." I have doubled the recipe and cooked it for 4 minutes, stirred and cooked for 4 minutes. It worked just fine. THANK YOU for asking this question. I have one more old box and had not read the new box. I will now cut the back off the old box and save it! Callie

It seems challanging at first but is really easy. There are two helpful web sites that I used when I first got my thermal cooker. thermalcooker.wordpress.com and thermalcookware.com They have recipes, suggestions and other useful information. And be sure to check out You Tube. Once you get the hang of using your thermal cooker you will be using almost all the time. Enjoy

I am sorry I only used it once years back, and definitely would not use it again, do not even buy it unless you have your reasons. But I would highly recommend from my experience the following in order of quality and value:1-http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RL8FD4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=12-http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V2JBEK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=13-http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VA2NXG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1Good luck, and good health.

I went on line and got a recipe from a competitor for a 9 or 11 cup food processor. I tried the recipe that called for 4 cups of flour (2 loaves of bread). I may not have followed the recipe steps of adding what when??? It was too much and the processor just couldn't get the dough around the bowl. I put the dough into the bread machine and worked it there and it eventually was worked enough. I tried a 2 cup recipe twice and it made excellent dough both times with about a minutes worth of processing. I have the dough raising for the oven now and it is as nice or nicer than the Kitchen Aide mixer,or the bread machine makes. So yes, for my pizza dough recipe (-2 cups flour) and roll or small bread recipes it will be a snap. I may make up some pre-packaged bags for the freezer to take out and fix in a hurry. I was nervous and kept feeling for any heat from the motor, but nothing.

I finally bought the new BBCCX20 and could not be happier. Have you tried the basic white out of the recipe book? I started with that one just to be sure it worked and then started making whole wheat with cereal, nuts, fruit, everything and I can't believe it always works. Some loaves are short and sq

I'm reading these questions, because I've received this item as a much-wanted gift. (I'm thrilled!) And, coincidentally, I've just read an interesting series of posts about using a pestle and mortar for making nut butters on another site. See link. (I hope it's OK to post it.) Look for the comment and answers from a poster named Nablusiya. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/796482?page=all
