I have not. I have used this a number of times to make sourdough bread in the oven and it works well. Any whole wheat produces denser bread no matter the method of cooking.

I did not try to make any frozen drinks, however I did attempt to make a strawberry/mixed berries sorbet, and it was a disaster. The machine would not chop and blend the berries with the ice even after 15 minutes of pounding the daylights out of it with the tamper as instructed in the directions. Actually, the recipe book used the word, "vigorously." I tried for 30 plus minutes to get this mixture to blend, and it never did. I ended up finishing it in my Kitchenaid blender. We ended up drinking the result because it never became a sorbet. The item is big, ugly, light weight and very,very cheap looking. The bottom line is that it is a HUGE waste of money, and I so wanted to like it.

Good question - I haven't tried it, but I do have some fruit in the freezer and now you have me curious.

I use this for persimmons every year. Works better than anything else I have tried.

The variety I have can not, it's listed as a zone 7 persimmon. There are persimmons that can be grown in zone 5, just not fuyu persimmon.

Have done 5 batches---4 blackberry and one apple. All took 2-1/2 to 3 hours. All perfect--zero seeds--all juice. Cut up apples into quarters. Did put in too many berry's in one batch and lost some juice that ran over back into the water. Have not had to add any water to the 3 hour process but getting close. May be losing some nutrients as nothing but juice in lower unit and a mat of "mast" in upper but doubt if significant.. Easy to do.

I haven't. It smelled terrible, was heavily dyed, and did not last even 4 weeks.

I just made my first two batches (using 3-quart mason jars rather than a pitcher).One was half a cucumber (sliced) and a sprig of mint. The other was one tangerine and a half a lime (both sliced) in a 50-50 mix of plain and seltzer water. Both came out delicious; the cucumber/mint in particular is very refreshing.I'm going to try strawberries and mint next time.

No I have not tried that. You can ask the seller he is experienced in this plant.

I have not herd of this being done. Usually the fruit that is processed with the juicer/strainer is cooked until it is soft enough to run through it.

I've used mine for tomato and blackberries only. No discoloration has occurred. Hope this helps a little!

Never tried it, but I just re-applied to my fruit trees' new growth. This morning I found some of the leaves and new shoots with the dried liquid on it nibbled!! Darn, the deer here no longer mind it.

No, I haven't...I have used it primarily in smoothies and oatmeal and love it for it's taste and ease of use in recipes.

I have had good results vigorously sprinkling Bar Keeper's Friend powder and then scrubbing followed by rinsing to check for missed spots. I repeat the process until clean. So far my fry pan still looks like new.

Do to know because I have never tried it. Makes great cobblers and brownies though!

Joan, The box in which the fruit is packaged contains a lot of information about the fruit, e.g., no preservatives, but there is no indication that the plant in which the fruit is processed also processes peanuts. If it did, the company would probably need to reveal that fact. To be safe you might call the company or contact it on its website.
