I was looking for a bread machine without Teflon, it is! Great, but works well to prepare cougnous, as is done here, I had the misfortune to add raisins and especially SUGAR PEARL that lined the entire tank! After unsuccessful searches the net for a new tank, I finally contact the customer service Amazon has exceptionally replaced the machine, this brand is not sold in Belgium. A big thank you to Amazon, contacted on Tuesday, I received the new machine on Friday morning! I had to return the first free! I prepare the bread, the crust is not very dark even choosing "DARK" but I found the solution when I get out the bread machine, I spend a little water on top with a brush and I spend 5 minutes at the multi-function microwave oven, on preheated grill. I started baking cougnous but without raisins or pearl sugar I add outside the machine!
