I don't want this 4 fish, I want it 4 home made heavy bread loafs, big vegetables-fruits (squash, cabbage..), turkey! Will it work 4 me? I've had a cheaper 1 by Oster, it was weak &amp; lasted nothing!

The Rapala Cordless has serrated edge knives, great for slicing tomato, squash, bread, soft fish, etc. It would not do well at all on turkey, which should be sliced with a carving knife or straight edge.

I don't make bread machine bread, I make bread from scratch - however, I see no reason why it won't do a fine job, I've seen those bread machine loaves before and my homemade ones are much, much bigger :)

Can't help much, Catherine. I bought the rotisserie based on the 40# capacity mentioned in the ad. I have done 25# birds in both the kettle and gas Weber grills with pretty good results. Only the wingtips were fried crispy. Really didn't care about the wingtips. I bought this rotisserie in the hope that I could do a 20-25# stuffed bird for Thanksgiving. I would imagine that care will have to be exercised in balancing the load so as not to ask the motor to do too much, but can't see why this rotisserie would be overly taxed to do a piece that is only 66% of the advertised load.

I was making corn bread with glass ware (the one use for baking) and scallop potatoes. It works fine for me, I didn't pay attention to the instruction where it says no glass. :P I think I was on 375-400 for about 35-40 mins.

It does great for home based quantities, we used it for bread. But I think it's underpowered and undersized for this. Step up to the 600, can't remember the exact model but it's larger and heavier. That is what we needed to do. If you price shop you'll find the heavier one for just a little bit more. I bought one of the heavier new and one of the heavier factory refurbished for my daughter. The first refurb had a bit of noise; they replaced it right away and the replacement has been fine for 5 years.Hope this helps!

This machine does NOT make bread well. Only the lightest of bread recipes will be able to be mixed with this unit.My 'typical' bread recipe:5 cups flour1 7/8 cups water1.5-2 Tbsp sugar1 tsp salt2-3oz oil1-2 tsp yeastReceived unit as Christmas gift (2014) and tried my basic bread recipe. Unit began to mix, then bogged down before finishing. Had to use my old 1980's Oster Kitchen Center to finish mixing the dough (becasue I didn't want to throw it away). Am waiting for RMA to return.Perhaps this unit is good for mixing cookies, or cake recipes, or beating/whipping cream/butter. But do NOT buy this unit for mixing bread.

Don't bother. There is a problem with those units. I would recommend getting a vitamix unit, which is what we have now.

I have made pizza dough and bread with great results. I suppose it all depends on the receipe you use. My suggestion would be to visit their website or better yet call and ask them specifically. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Your welcome, I always try to give honest answers as to what my experience was, hopefully it saves someone time, money and the headache of returning a item. Especially with a product that has good reviews and then I buy it because of the reviews only to find they weren't that true. I "fried" everything from fish, chix tenders, stuffed chix breasts, fries to onion rings, terrible. Can only cook very small amounts of food at a time and the bowl is extremely heavy! A Huge diasppointment!

I have never had any problem with my Oster Toaster...it makes perfect toast, biscuit, etc.....I LOVE it, in fact I have 2, one in our vacation house and one at home. I highly recommend this toaster.

I use Laura Brody's Bread Machine Baking recipe book & the recipes are adapted for speciific bread machines. For the large oster, I always use 2 1/2 tsp yeast to 3 C flour. King Arthur flour is great!

P.S. from a minute ago: Right when I clicked to send in my answer just now, I noticed that the offer for purchase is an entire CASE of bread! You most certainly would want to freeze all the loaves that are waiting to be eaten! Just be sure to wrap it good so it won't get those 'ice crystals'.

I'd be interested too! I've made two loaves of bread so far in my small Zojirushi (3 days old!) but both were kind of dense. If I make anything successfully, I'll post the recipe here. But if anyone has any to share, I'm definitely interested too.
