Does the top crust get cooked and browned? I have the expensive one and I have to turn machine upside down for 3 mins. to get top to brown.

Hi, I have only baked pumpkin pie in mine, The edges got brown so I would think the top should get browned as well.

It does get browned and not I did not have to turn it upside down to be browned. I am surprised for yours being so expensive that you still have to turn it upside down to get browned. Merry Christmas!

I have a 20+ year pizza stone that is now dark brown. Don't try to clean it, just let it happen. It develops a wonderful non-stick surface with age. All I do is scrape whatever will come off with a nylon scraper under very hot water.

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

cooks, toasts, broils, etc. very evenly. I suggest a crisper pan or mesh for pizza. It gets very hot, I burned a couple of things at first, pay especial attention to direction to turn on/off button past 10 before setting desired time.

When that happened to me I discovered I left the machine off too long between batches. But it could be a coupe things. If you are trying to enjoy the cone right after you make it the machine has a chance to cool down too much. You may be putting too much sugar so it doesn't have room to spin, just melt. Also I had a bad turn out with the green apple flavor overall, no matter what I did it just burned, so it could also be the sugars fault. Check out a couple youtube videos. don't give up! Hope I helped :)

Sadly, I can't tell for sure: my only question is, Do you leave the stone plate inside the oven during the warm-up phase? If you don't (just a guess) that might explain why the bottom of the dough takes longer to cook, otherwise I'd be as lost as you are. My pizzas cook perfectly on all sides. Good luck.

You have to do a "standing fluted" or pinched crust with this pan, but it is worth it because it bakes crust beautifully. I get alot of compliments on the crust with this pan. Even with a juicy filling like cherry or peach the crust cooks evenly. No soggy bottom crust. Hope this helps!

Try putting more batter in. Mine weren't browning on the top until I realized I wasn't putting enough batter in for it to touch the top.

dont try cooking pizza...too much direct heat from the top and not enough to do the crust properly...

I've made the whole wheat twice and it has come out burnt on the outside twice. I wonder if I have a faulty machine. The other breads I made (which allow you to adjust the crust) turned out fine. With whole wheat setting it doesn't allow one to choose a crust... advice?

Elevation and gas/electric ovens can make a difference in how it bakes up. This is usually pretty good, but I do like the devils food better. I found it to be a tiny bit crumbly, but started subbing coconut oil for butter and fruit juice for water and it is maybe too moist! Experiment with it. :)

Yes, I just recently made a no-gluten pie crust. This little machine is very powerful, and convient. Just pulse the ingredients until the mixture comes together. DO NOT hold the button down, you'll burn the motor out. As soon as the dough was sticking together I did the rest of the work by hand. Hope this helps. Don't over load it. The Best, Truthful.

I don't....it does not affect performance. It took years for mine to turn brown, and I started wiping them with a damp cloth off between cookie batches.

it sounds like it is defective... it is a little hard to turn but NOT that hard. when you turn it will feel like are forcing it a bit. i love this oven! I've purchased it twice one for my apt and another for my boyfriends apt. i hope you don't have to send it back but if it's that hard to turn for you, you just might:(

Jack, I didn't notice that effect with the one I'm using, I would guess perhaps the problem migth be happening due to overheat the pan ! Since I bought it I took very serious the recomendation not to heat it too much and not too fast. Hope this help

I'm not sure if it is or not but unless you're pressing it into the crust instead of just loosely laying it over the top I've not had a problem. You may get a little bit of baked crust shavings that stick in places but it washes up easily.
