Everything sticks to these pans! I cannot get OFF the potato residue and I'm probably just going to throw them away.

They are awkwardly heavy. They do not warp, but they do pop out of shape (this happens when the pans are in the oven and you'll hear a very loud, scary pop).

Just awful.

I'm used to commercial baking equipment, so I put a lot of effort into finding a home mixer that would stand up to the strain of making large batches of hearty yeast breads. This is the one I chose, and I have to say, it's worked out pretty well. It doesn't "walk" across the counter like some of the smaller mixers I've used, and I haven't managed to burn out the motor yet (though the casing does start to get rather hot after 8 or so minutes of bread mixing). The splash guard is actually relatively useful, and it's easy to remove if it starts to get in your way. I would definitely recommend adhering the the recommendations in the owners' manual as to how much dough the mixer can handle at once - you can put more than that in, but it's hard to get it well mixed and the dough tends to ride up the mixing arm and pick up grease.
