We bake our bread for 20 years now with a wide variety of baking ovens. This maker convinced. The manufacture of other faulted ability no crispy bread we can not share. Therefore one must only the bread directly after completion of the vessel's nehmen.Wenn on the "Normal" level is not enough, then change in programming to "dark". So high, in our view thumb! Other equipment will be hard to have this device "to stink" especially in terms of price / performance! Have fun baking
