I needed to know the same thing. By looking at the Brown Sugar Bear "Bun Warmer" description (same brand also sold on Amazon) I found instructions for heating in the oven. So I figured that would work for drying the Brown Sugar Bear to use for keeping my crackers crisp. I followed these instructions: "heat the bear in the oven @ 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely before placing it in a sealed container with the crackers, etc". It works like a charm! For keeping bread warm, heat the same way then immediately place the heated bear/s in the bottom of a lined serving basket or stoneware dish & place bread on top. I didn't find anything about this being microwave safe. I needed to know the same thing.

I have never used it for that purpose, only to keep brown sugar from getting hard.

I have not uses them for that. I get them wet and then keep them in my brown sugar bowls. I didn't know they could be used for crackers and bread.

You cook it in a microwave for 45 seconds. Any longer it will burn. It is real crunchy and you can hear them kind of crackle when you put in a bowl or plate as I do. Very good. Once you start eating them you cannot stop. Also, if not eaten that day they are still crunchy the next day.

This might help: The instructions say....Microwave re-heating: never transfer the container straight from freezer/refrigerator to microwave; always wait for the container to get to room temperature. Remove lid before placing the container in the microwave; select a medium- low power program(maxtemp +70 C / +158 F) never use the crisp/browning function. The hot container should never be placed on a wet or cold surface: please use a trivet or other protection. Attention: it is recommended not to heat up foods that are high in fat or sugar because they can reach very high temperatures resulting in possible breakage of the glass.

This is just a guess - since you raise the dough in the pan, once baking is started, the pan has to come up to temp. The pay-off is that the bread will have a more uniform and textured crust. I personally, would prefer the few extra minutes oven time to going back to traditional, or even silicone bread pans. I spend considerable time raising, punching down, kneading, raising etc., that a bit longer in the oven is a small price to pay. Hope this helps.

I've oven roasted it (homemade granola) and put it in yogurt, it was great. If you are going to mix it without cooking it in any form then you will want to let it sit for an hour or so (plus, straight uncooked is going to be pretty intense on your guts). I usually microwave a cup of it if in a hurry and mix with yogurt.

Yes, you can. Bring your over to 375 F and cook for about 32 minutes. The time depends to some degree on the efficiency of your oven. However, it is easier to stick it in the microwave and cook it for 5 to 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Either way the food is very healthy, fresh and tastes great.

I usually put a cookie sheet on the bottom shelf in the oven when I make homemade bread. It seems to make it cook more even

I bake at 475F quite often with the Dutch oven so 500F isn't much different. A bit of advice when baking bread is to let the Dutch oven warm in the oven for at least 30 minutes before you put the dough into it.

I don't use a bread machine. It is a lot easier with a stand mixer and about twice as fast as a bread machine. Use a little more water and beat for about 4 minutes on about number 6 or 7 on the mixer. It makes perfect bread. Also. I slice it and wrap six or seven slices in plastic wrap and then foil and freeze it. It lasts forever and I just take out what we need for a few days.

I do 45 minutes @425 degrees. Cooks it through but leaves it juicy! Also, because I'm gluten intolerant, I use crushed potato chips or instant potato flakes instead of the bread crumbs. You can also toast gluten free bread and make your own crumbs!

I was using my candy thermometer but it broke so I have been using my digital meat thermometer. I couldn't get it to work in a double boiler on the stove, but using a microwave it takes around 8-9 minutes to get to the appropriate temperature. I stir mine every couple minutes until it is at the right temp. It takes around 30-40 minutes to cool to the right temp to add the yogurt starter. I stir every 5 minutes while cooling.

To get a crisp crust, you need to use a baking stone or a special baguette pan. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees for at least half an hour. Just before putting the bread in the oven, slash with a sharp knife or razor, lightly spray with water and pop it in. After ten minutes, reduce the heat to 400 and turn the bread front to back. Bake another 15-20 minutes. A slim baguette can be done at this point, a fatter one will take longer. When the bread looks toasty brown, take the temperature of the bread with an instant read thermometer (essential for anyone who bakes). When the internal temp reaches 205-210, it's done. Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes.

I use "Breadman." I use the basic setting for 3 hrs, 5 min. It comes out perfect every time. Had this for about 2 years. No problems.

Hi, put in a teaspoon of vegetable oil, a drinking glass of warm water, 4 cups of flower (I use 2 cups bread flower, and 2 cups whole wheat flower for German type coarse bread, use 4 cups bread flower for white bread). Add one tablespoon of salt, 2 tablespoons dry milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of yeast. Bake 3.5 hrs. Machine should form a dry soft ball. If too liquid, add a little of flower. If machine has to labor hard, and you hear a grinding type noise, the dough is too dry and add a little warm water. Using this for &gt; 10 years, always bakes a great loaf.

Either way works great. To heat in the warmer I fold the tortillas and place a moist paper towel in with them, then heat in the microwave for a minute or so. I also use a hot bread warmer in the bottom which works great to keep things warm.

I don't recall this having come with instructions. Basically you put about 2-3 tablespoons (40 mL) of water in the bottom and your food in the basket, put the basket in the bottom and put on the top. Microwave the entire assembly on high for 1.5-3 minutes depending on the food type, the quantity of food, and desired doneness. You'll have to experiment. Be careful when opening, since the device will be full of hot steam.
