Does it work for baking potatoes and yams?

This thing makes the best baked pot.. you will eat! I take a med. baking potato rub it with olive oil, then roll it around in some kosher salt. Put it right on the rack, bake 45 minutes at 375 degrees F... You will eat every bite of it!! I love my convection oven. No more heating up the house... Rick in Mt. Holly NC... sorry about that, yes you do need to poke some holes on both sides of potato...

Not really. The capacity can handle one extra large baking potato sliced up. It takes about 25 minutes to cook. Great for the kiddos!

I have not tried it, but it grates carrots very well, so it should work fine. You would just have to cut the sweet potato into thinner pieces to fit. I use the red one for carrots, as I find the orange one to grate them too small.

Probably. I have used it for baked and frozen treats. I'd recommend making one or two at first to make sure they will pop out intact. You may need to let them set longer than instructions indicate due to the small surface are exposed to the air to allow for complete drying. I have to bake all treats about twice as long as the recipe indicates or the bottoms are still moist.

You know that is a very good question! I have not tried it. But I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work. I think that it could but I would be sure to prick the potato before starting.

I have used this on potatoes and it worked great. The only issue is the size and shape of the potatoes. If they are abnormally shaped, very small or very large, it won't work. I had a very large potato that almost didn't fit and one that was a bit crazy shaped that didn't work.

Yes. Any oven. Some ovens have the heat come through the bottom so I'd probably just recommend cutting out the area that the heat actually comes through or putting it on the first rack in the oven. I have 3 racks in my oven so just placed it on the lowest rack and it works great. Saved me a few times catching sweet potato spill overs

Sure anything with heat would bake a potato. I think you would have to watch it and experiment a little.

I have not used it on sweet potatoes, but I am sure it will. It requires a bit of strength. That is why the suction cups are so big.

Yes, it's great for cookies, cakes, whipped cream, meringue, frosting and bread dough. It has two bowls. One you use the roller and scraper with and one you use regular beaters. I use the roller and scraper for everything except whipped cream, meringue and thin icings. I never use a mixer for mashed potatoes, a ricer or food mill is much better.

Yes, if you have the larger sized; one yams are a firmer potato, I purchased the smaller size one thus I have to cut my potatoes in half. I probably will purchase the larger one, when sweet potatoes come back in season fresh. Hope this helps you with your purchase.

Yes. It does a dandy job with potatos. 3.5 qt is enough for mashed potato for four or five servings.

The peeler will handle potatoes, but I'm not sure it will stand up 2 bushels at one time.

Yes, but it works a little easier if you square off the ends. If the potatoes are real firm it will give you a little exercise but it does work on sweet potatoes or yams.

Hello Paulina , yes it will peel a sweet potato , but the slices won't be wide enough . Your slices won't be big enough to make chips . I hope I helped you . It's a great peeler .

Yes it can bake potatoes but my wife bought one of those potato baking pouches for the microwave and uses that, quicker and potatoes taste great.

Yes, absolutely. Probably better for this purpose than for baking. And, my children used it to make stepping stones for my garden. Multi-purpose and you cannot beat the price!!
