You need to define ruin. Underbake,overbake, didn't rise, does it cycle correctly /

Mine never worked right. Burned the bread even on light crust. I returned it.

My wife had this issue with a different breadmaker and it turned out to be the yeast not the machine. She had to try a few yeasts, I think it was the humidity in Florida killing the yeast or something.

Not sure if this is the answer, but, I was experiencing a similar problem that eventually ended up with the shaft that holds the paddle coming apart from the pan. I had to buy a whole new pan assembly since there is no way to repair it. The cost, including shipping, was under $30. My bread is back to normal. If you decide to go this route, save the paddle. It does not come with the pan.

There are several possible solutions. The bread may have been left in the bread pan too long after baking. Remove the bread from the pan sooner and allow it to cool. Try using more fl our (a teaspoon at a time), or less yeast (1/4 teaspoon at a time), or less water or liquid (a teaspoon at a time). This could also be the result of forgetting to add salt to the recipe.

Sorry, but I could not find warranty information on the instruction page that came with the baker, and I already sent the box to recycling. You may want to send them an e-mail through their website http://sassafrasstore.com/. I will tell you that the baker is very sturdy and having it has definitely rekindled my interest in making homemade bread!

I've had mine for a couple of years and still looks normal and performs well. I'm thinking about replacing it simply because I don't want to use it and find out it's gone bad. (I keep it in the freezer which extends shelf life considerably.)

Fortunately, I have some VERY recent info on that rack :) I ruined mine...by I guess overheating it in the broiler or putting it in the dishwasher. Normally, I use the pan for baking/grilling etc and it is super for single or small servings. But, I used it to grill hotdogs and accidentally left it in the oven and next day went to preheat oven and the rack was a mess....as the plastic or whatever coating on it half melted and or came off in places. If you put it in hot oil I think it will ruin it. It is definitely not stainless steel but a metal with a black coating looks like vinyl. Hope this helps.

I did not ever have this issue. I have had this toaster for about 2 years now.

Never have had any problem. It has been in my oven for a couple of years. I use high temps and low temps. I do not use my oven on "self cleaning". The very hi heat will burn out the "boards" on a touch type oven. I remove the liner and use oven cleaner. I love it.

I have no idea. My suggestion would be to contact the company. I have had since about May and have used it many times with no problem.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would every buy a KitchenAid toaster! I rarely used my toaster and in the beginning I had no problem with it....but shortly after the warranty expired, the timer on it wouldn't work and it would not even toast the bread. I called the company and it was ''too bad Charlie Brown'' for me because they wouldn't do anything about it! I am the only person using it....what a waste of money that was, not to mention the aggravation. I have just ordered a ''Cuisinart CPT 320''...I have other Cuinsinart products that I am very happy with. I will never order another KitchenAid Product...CAPUT!....good luck with whatever you decide to do. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would every buy a KitchenAid toaster!

My experience is if you let the bread sit too long afterward, it collapses. Also if you use too much yeast, it collapse.

I've had this happen with other aluminum baking pans (my husband put in the dishwasher). Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do to bring back the original look. I don't think it affects the baking process or the taste of any foods baked in it, but it sure is unsightly to look at!

I've had that happen as well (once) and I'm not sure why. The last loaf I made though was perfect - maybe add 3-4 minutes onto the cooking time (??)

all I did was spray some non-stick spray all over inside the bottom the first few times. now, I just spray the bottom very lightly, and nothing ever sticks, even on the sides where I haven't sprayed. I just wipe out and use my scraper and/or clean with plain water. I guess my baker is seasoned very well by now ... been using it several times weekly for a little over a month. also, I usually proof my bread in the baker and start baking in a cold to warm oven (warming the lid some).

Don't know. I have been very satisfied with the bread maker. I use it at least once per week and have not had any failures yet.

I made gluten free bread as well as bread with gluten. They both turned out great. .however the machine pan locked up and failed after just a few months and I ended up throwing the machine out and getting a different one. It turned out to be just about impossible to replace the pan.

Definitely not. I've had this Flash xpress for about a month. The bread is always darker on the under side (closer to the bottom element so go figure)

Have you found any alternative? I just started looking into purchasing a bread maker and I'm stuck in the same quandry. I avoid non-stick at all costs, but I can't seem to find a machine without it. Please let me know if you found anything. Thanks! Lyndi
