A good sized baked potato - 5 to 6 inches long with a good size girth.But the bigger the potato the more effort you need to push it threw.It is a good machine.

It takes an average size potato and if to big you can always cut it once to fit.

This is a fairly large and substantial piece of cast iron and stainless steel. Cuts a potato a little over 6 inches in length. The cutting cross-section area is a about 3-1/4 inch square. Large suction cups do a good job of holding tool in place.

The product will take anything up to the diameter of the cutter area, approximately 3.5" wide. You can go up to 5-6" long, which is the opening of the potato resting area with the handle all the way up. Keep Physics in mind if you're after loooong fries...the higher the handle, the more effort needed to push the potato through the cutter -- It works great! Made 4 lbs of fries on Christmas Day, yummy!!

I agree with Maureen M's answer. We use ours a lot and really like it. Our microwave has a baked potato setting but I usually need to add a minute or 2 of time - depending upon the size and # of potatoes.

I have a standard recipe, for 2 or 3 persons I use 2 cups of water and 1 cup of milk, bring to a boil and add 1 1/2 cups of Potatoe Perls. I use a whip to beat them fluffy, add a little bit of salt and pepper and optional a bit of butter. For 5 people I would double the recipe and use the leftovers, either in soup or just reheat them in the microwave the next day - put a lid on. My family thinks they are homemade.

There are 2 different blades you can use. Both are 2 1/2" X 2 1/2". That is the largest potato you can French. One cuts 5x5= 25 fries and the other cuts 6x6=36 fries out of 1 potato.

Round .. 10" across. Legs on both sides. 1.5' on 1 side, 4" on other. You flip to adjust cooking height.

There was no book with this item. Use your own judgement, and use the size that holds up what you want held up. The smallest holes should be able to retain berry seeds, the largest might be good for pureeing potatoes. Use the size that gives you the result you want. You may have to experiment a little to find the right size for your food product.

The round area where you place the food is approximately 6 1/4" in diameter and in that area it is about 1 3/4" high from top to bottom; the base area is 5 3/4" wide x 9" long. Hope this information helps.

No, not all at one time. What I've done is cook 4 minutes then wait 30 seconds then cook 4 more minutes. This makes the potatoes super soft. This product is amazing. I've used it for sweet potatoes and broccoli too. I put veggies in a Baggie then in this bag. 4 minutes works for veggies too.

How long is a piece of string? Really depends upon the size of your family and their appetite for fries. (Americans tend to go overboard with fries). I use no more than 2 pounds of potatoes (there are concerns about the strength of the paddle if the machine is overloaded) and get at least 4 servings which I consider of adequate size for adults). As with the other reviewers I'm not aware of any other size of machine from T-Fal.

These are to be used in the microwave. Usually four minutes for two average size potatoes.

I don't have the measurements for you as it was a gift, but I did try it out and It won't do large potatoes unless you cut them maybe in half, but is does a nice job and the core is spiraled which I find very interesting when you want fries.....

Yes it is round, looks like the picture. Depending how much veggie you need you fill or both layer and cover.

I boil 2/3 cup water with some butter and then mix in 1/3 cup of the potatoes and let stand about a minutes. They do not need anything else, and they taste great. There is just enough for one delicious serving.Sometimes I'll make the 2/3 cup liquid a mixture of milk and water (using a little powdered milk), and it tastes a little bit richer. But, either way, it tastes the same as real potatoes!

Pretty long. I used to buy a case once a month. Because the rolls are parbaked you have the option of cooking them as you go.

The cross-section is about 3/32 X 3/32 inch for potatoes, slightly thinner than 1/8 inch and thicker than 1/16 inch. By your measure, the thickness is less than 1/2 of a (wood) lead pencil. Hope this helps.

No. You can put them in the bag and set your microwave for the automatic "COOK POTATO" cycle and it will come out fine. The 4 minutes is not true, even with the bag it will take about 10 minutes

Idaho potatoes don't steam well at all because of their high starch content. I'd use red or true sweet potatoes. But for that type of potato I'd cut them into no less than 10 pieces. Steam for a minimum of 20 minutes using very little ventilation. (watch the steam water levels always) G
