Why does the top of the donut not turn brown? what is the wattage for he Babycakes donut maker?

I bake for about 4 minutes, then turn the donuts using the included tool. I gently tap them down with the tool, close the lid, and bake for another 4 or so minutes. More effort, but they don't look so mismatched.

I cook my doughnuts for 4 minutes after I close the lid. They will not touch the top of the maker until they fully rise. They do not make contact with the top lid for more than a couple of minutes. If, like me, you leave each cavity a little short on batter the doughnut may never touch the top. The wattage of the maker is 760. You will find it on the label on the bottom of the Babycakes.

A guess... but thinking it's simply because the top doesn't immediately touch the top surface - since it takes a while for the better to "grow"....

Al- The wattage of the Russell Hobbs 2 slice toaster is 900w. I just wish it would brown both sides of the bread every time. It does this about 20% of the time and the rest of the times I have to turn the bread over and continue the toasting process Good thing is that the toasted side doesn't burn when turned as that side of the toaster must not be hot enough. I just keeps the toasted side warm until the other side is browned. Also the toast is not dried out with this model. Donna

We ran it for 6 hours, we added some chocolate when it got low. I suspect it would continue to run until it ran out of chocolate and then it just would rotate the center screw until you turned it off.

Hello -I usually use anywhere between 10 to 15 cups of lour - depending on the type with about 4 cups of liquid. So the dough is heavy and the machine sounds as if its struggling but it's not. Just put your hand on the motor and you'll see it's barely warm and that's after it's been running for 10 minutes with this heavy dough. The only thing I have to do though is put my hands on the lid (I'm afraid it will crack when the dough gets pushed up ) when I make this heavy batch. Hope this helps Lita

Mine unit is not hot. I'm pulling twice as many watts (~235W). I run for 5 hours. Its sounds like you have a problem, maybe a fire hazard. I'm not sure of the electrical specs, if you have a voltmeter you might try measuring the voltage or amps.

Good question, but I see no way to "brown" the top of the cake pop. It only takes 5 minutes and if you left them in any longer, the whole thing would probably burn. I have only made chocolate ones so far. Good luck.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

I guess I am not quite clear. I can turn to the right all the way to dark. That practically burns most things. Or I can turn to the left which will be the oven and you can bake or convention whatever at whatever temp. Mine works great. The writing is light, maybe you didn't see light/med/dark on the right?

No wattage is noted on the machine. It makes great waffles, two squares at a time, and does not draw enough to blow a breaker. That is all I care about.

Make sure you have the dial set to bake, not broil. It's difficult to see. Maybe that will fix the problem for you.

The Wattage is 900. But know this, I am getting ready to take this thing out and trashing it and buying a new one. The cook top light is crap, the fan is crap and the buttens are hard if not impossible to read without bright lights on in the kitchen. Pick anouther one for your own sake!!!

First check the electrical outlet with a light or a tester and see if you have power there . Did you have some water in the bowl ? There is thermostatic stop if there is no water so the plastic does not melt . It's only a 60 watt element to keep the water warm . If you have a problem let me know .

I'm not sure what you problem might be. I have a convection oven and place my silicone mats on top of my double-layered cookie sheet. The only adjustment I've had to make is to cook the cookies 3-4 min longer than normal. My daughter has a standard oven and hasn't reported any problem with hers. I know that with my old oven I had to buy a thermometer for inside as the electrical power in our neighborhood fluctuated terribly...sometimes 175 degrees hotter and sometimes almost that amount under...

I don't think I can help you with this, perhaps you received a faulty unit. I stick to a very strict recipe I use, 1 cup flour,1 cup milk ,2 eggs, baking power and a bit of corn starch. I set the temp at about 3/4 , put in roughly 1/2 cup of batter spread evenly. Close the lid wait about 30 seconds and flip the waffle maker. 3min's is how long I wait, which is roughly when the light comes on, this should give a fairly consistently cooked waffle. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have only baked pumpkin pie in mine, The edges got brown so I would think the top should get browned as well.

I've slowly been replacing my darker baking pans with the lighter ones. They do really cook more evenly. The bottoms don't end up so brown. I've only made cupcakes and cornbread so far but both have come out beautiful.

Hi, Book Lover # 52. I made the doughnuts and they came out rounded. I think it's the baking powder or whatever rising ingredients are in your recipe. You don't need a second pan - just fill like a muffin pan. My recipe called for me to fill the holes 2/3 full. They came out really nice.
