wondering if you are able with this model to take out drawers so I can put bread to rise and yogurt as well...also how can I order more mats as well t

Yes, you can take out the drawers. When I got this model, I had to contact the seller and have them custom make a 4 tray cover plate/door, it didn't automatically come with. I can't really help with the mats, I generally use parchment paper for everything that I would use a mat on.

Yes, it has a bread rising cover for keeping heet in with the removal of a couple of the drawers. I found the number and called directly to find out about mat ordering a few years ago. You could probably find the mats on here somewhere though. The ones I have are blue and don't quite fit the trays in one of the directions but are very durable and I like them a lot.

The 3 drawer panel is too short to raise bread and too short for a quart of yogurt. So far, they have refused to make me a 4 tray cover. I hope they will change their minds and make me one because I have to drape a towel over the front of the unit to use it for bread or yogurt right now.

Not without taking the drawers apart. I had the same situation with bringing it upstairs. I turned it over on it's top, covered it with a tarp and tied the tarp down, then used a large area rug to slide it up the stairs. I had a friend help me but could have used another person at the bottom, as I pulled the rug and he pushed.

We put the plastic divider at the point where the size changes and use that as the stop for the bread. Pull the sliced bread out and move the loaf forward against the stop to complete slicing. It is true that you can slice only half a loaf at a time, but we slice 10 to 12 loaves (to make 80 to 100 sandwiches) and find the amount of time "wasted" is minimal. Three of the volunteers who work with us have since purchased this slicer to use at home. I talked to a carpenter friend of mine and he said it would be possible to set up the rods for uniform slice size, but it would involve removing the unwanted rods, reaming out new slots, and gluing the rods back in. He said (I think jokingly) that it would be easier and more cost effective to get 2 or 3 slicers and glue the ends together if moving the loaf was so annoying. We found the best way to get efficient with the slicer was for 2 or 3 people to work together, critiquing each others techniques. For example, I was cutting cross-handed, and simply turning the slicer around so my dominant (right) hand held the knife and my subordinate (left) hand pushed the bread against the backstop more than doubled my speed and cut way down on my frustration, uneven slices, etc.

Amazon actually sells a special strainer just for that purpose. Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker It's been in my shopping cart for ages and I just can't seem to convince myself to shell out $18 for it. I just read somewhere that a reusable coffee filter works just as well. I have been using cheese cloth up to this point but it is really messy and a pain in the butt! All this yogurt talk makes me want to eat some right now.... mmmmmm

The drawer cannot be placed any way except the originally intended way. I find the drawer is very difficult to pull out and push in. I have removed it completely, made a solid thin shelf to replace it. I use it as a convenient niche for my remotes. I use the drawer for a basket.

My house was built one year ago, standard brand new kitchen with a drawer above the cabinet. it did NOT fit because of the drawer. Close but no cigar. I may try what another poster did and remove the drawer front and replace it with magnets... But then I lose the drawer which we do use.. I wouldn't buy this unless I had a cabinet that does not have a drawer above it.

They do have dividers that cannot be moved going from side to side in each drawer, dividing them into 3 sections each. There are many short dividers included that can be used to subdivide these sections, but those are optional. I use mine for beads so I left out the short dividers. I wish the side to side ones were movable, but I haven't found any that have that feature. I do really like these boxes, I have 6 of them.

No, I don't believe you can. It should be counter height when in use. Plus it wouldn't clear the drawer front and handle.

When I owned it, I had mostly plastic jars and it was not sturdy. I paid alot for mine and everytime I pulled the drawer out, it pulled the other drawers out with it and it was frustrating I quit using it. Tried to give it away to anyone who wanted it beings it was still brand new and no one wanted it after they seen how it works.

You don't. This is a really annoying aspect of this slicer. If you look at the picture, the slats on the back half are about half the width of the slats on the front half. If you want a loaf of uniform slices, you have to move the bread or you'll get half wide and half skinny slices. It bugs me.

I was thinking you wanted to put something in the drawers. I would sit on shelving as it has wire base, if it wasn't a good fit you could always put a plastic place mat cut to size underneath.

Pretty fine...I haven't but you could probably strain yogurt/fresh cheese through it... My only complaint, and it's my own fault, is the size....I would buy one twice as large next time

Good morning, The second shelf is a part that can be lifted up to store other items below the top shelf. Does that make sense? The boot mat will fit if you do not have the second shelf. Thank you, Steve

I had the same issue, but I don't remember how I eventually got them out. See if there is something that needs to be pushed up on the bottom or if the drawer needs to be raised up to be taken out. There was a trick to it--I remember that.

Love the unit; easy to assemble. Concur with Frank B.; you'll have to remove a shelf or drill for it to fit or choose one of OFC's other configurations. Also, if anyone needs wicker baskets to fit in the shelves, after looking at all the usual places, I found some for cheap at Ross about a month ago.

Just remove trays if you need more space between them. You can take as many trays out as you need. Some people put bowls of bread dough in this.

Yes, I think that would work nicely. However, there are no notches to keep the drawers together as one unit, but I think the foam padding on top will keep the upper drawer from slipping. It really is a great product. My mom just emailed me today asking where I got it because she wants to buy one for her office K-machine.
