does this model have pre-set settings for bread, hot soups, etc./

No presets. I do have a 750 which dose and its nice to have them but they are totally unnecessary. All they really do as act as timers. The QVC 6000 literally has timers, like 30 sec, 1min, 4 min etc. With the presets, its like you erase the 1 min mark and replace it with ice cream. Thing is that most of the time, except when you are following a VM recipe, you end up needing more or less time than the preset thinks, based upon the quantities being used. The 2 presets that I really like are soup and wash just because you can walk away and hear it stop from the other room, but again, totally unnecessary. The prep3 is great, but really, the extra hp is unnecessary as the 2 and 2.2 hp units are totally adequate for any home application- and the prep 3 has only a 2 year warrantee. Hope that helps.

Sorry I havent really used that feature yet, but I really like this oven a lot. The rotisserie is great too.

The machine has actual buttons that are raised from the surface that you can feel, but there is a display which shows which settings are actually selected. There are four general settings; loaf size, crust color, bread type and delay timer. There is also a big start/stop button. There's one button for each setting and you must press until it reaches your desired setting. So, for instance, if you wanted a 1 pound, whole wheat loaf with a medium crust, you would have to press the loaf size button once, the bread type button twice and the crust color button would be automatically at medium. It beeps loudly each time you press a button, so you could use that as an indicator by counting the beeps, but unless you already know or have someone tell you exactly which order the settings are in, you wouldn't know which is which. I hope that helped.

No setting, It cooks all rice based on weight and steam. Put the measured rice in at the water, also measured and it steams perfectly.

No, this item does not have "doneness" settings for different types of poultry and meat programmed in. However, it allows you to set a specific temperature (usually specified in a recipe) and the device alarm goes off when that temperature is reached. Nifty!

It has a defrost button, a re-warming button for previously toasted things that have cooled and a bagel button as well. The supposed "bun warmer" is apparently just for show. Oh, btw, the defrost button also automatically moves to "toast" once the bread has thawed. It also has an "eject button" which is simply pressing the the center of the warm button. I nice extra, I think.

The bake, convection, broil, and warm settings can be set for up to 2 hours. The toast and probe settings cannot be timed.

No, it does not. Ovens with that feature are hard to find. The last one I had was a $15 oven that is no longer available.

no it does not. I found to use the setting #5, use room temperature dogs or microwave to just remove chill, insert when popped up, turn end to end and insert again. When popped up this time dogs will be sizzeling and browned in areas. Very good, to me a grill taste, worth the effort, also the buns are browned.

There are temperature settings you can set if you use it in "oven" mode. There are also low, high, and keep warm settings if you want to use it like a crockpot.

Browning is amazing without burning or drying out. I have not tackled biscuits and bread. I saw someone say they make toast in it. I am sure you would be able to and sharper image makes bake wear for the unit. The one thing to remember is that you still have to tend to the food cooking. No device works well if you set it and forget it. Sometimes I turn down the set cooking temps and increase the time.

Yes, it has a series of settings.I must say if you want flare up for searing etc, keep lid open, other wise keep it closed.

It does have a dough only setting. It worked fine. It also has some mechanical issues - one of the paddles stopped working altogether.

You just press it down without any additional settings . But I returned my toaster because no matter what setting I used, it never actually toasted the bread.

I agree with Maureen M's answer. We use ours a lot and really like it. Our microwave has a baked potato setting but I usually need to add a minute or 2 of time - depending upon the size and # of potatoes.

No, and as I recall it said that when i ordered mine. Just has High, Low and off, which is fine with me, I do use it often and love the convenience of having breakfast or dinner ready when I need them! Hope this helped you

No, it has: slow bake, broil, keep warm, bake, toast and panini. My wife used to use convection on our old toaster oven but doesn't seem to miss it on this one.
