This item was returned because of misunderstanding I read it as 2 and 1/2 pound not 2 half pound. I was looking to be able to make larger size loafs not 1/2 pound loafs.

No you don't need one. It does have delayed baking available. I do LOVE my Breadman BK!!!

No, unfortunately. I wish it did. Nor can you program it to turn off. When the programmed cooking time is over, it automatically switches to warm.

No it doesn't. Sorry to report. Even with hot water to warm it, food is luke warm at best.

Not that I know of, mine didn't, but if you buy this be warned the outside and the underside gets extremely hot and cooks too fast.

It does not preheat the milk, but it will make perfect yogurt without going to that trouble! Just add the starter to the liquid, stir, and hit start. I like the 12 hour time for heating and cooling because it is so easy to keep track of!

Mine did, but it still works fine. Just remember to always put it in a cold oven, not one that is pre-heated.

It doesn't to my knowlege. Pretty sure it has an electric heating element in it.

Sorry for not answering sooner. Yes, it does, but that would all cook away if that helps. This is really a good product.

It will automatically cycle between heating and cooling modes. If you hit the heat threshold, it will call for heat. If you hit the cool threshold, it will call for cool. It doesn't have a heat or cool mode - it's full auto.

No it does not, I returned the first one it did not work. The one I have now if I set it for 2 hours when done moves to 4 hours and so on. Cooks quicker than most of my recipes, not a bad thing. Easy to clean.

yes preheating is essential, get a pizza peeler to transfer prepared crust to cast iron.

No preheat needed, just add a little oil, load with food items, microwave for recommended time, and let set to finish cycle. It's been an amazing device for meat, fish, and poultry! I'm not a shill... just a well fed buyer, with a happy wife. ~Paulhttp://www.microhearth.com/index.cfm

yes, it does. I can take about 30-35 shots before the temperature light starts to flash and renders your unit to stop working until it is cooled.

No, it does not. This is a simple cast iron design, just follow the instructions for pre-heating/cooking and you shouldn't have any problems turning out some great waffles.

No. It actually heats and rises to pressure quite quickly. I've used it on a low burner setting with no problem.

There is only a Low, Medium and High Setting and it does "Cycle" at those Settings but I don't know what Temperatures they are at. You will need to Watch and Lower the Setting so things that you are Cooking don't Burn.

No. This unit has open grill on the bottom to release heat generated in use.......Seriously, don't waste money on it. The quality is NG. I bought two and they are all dead in 5 weeks with light use only.
