It says to boil potato peels, how do you do this with such low sides?

You can peel potatoes if they are pretty uniform in shape and not too big. The things that have not worked on this handy little machine are pears that were too soft and very, very large apples. The corer/slicer piece does come off, so I guess you could just run them through without that. Should work!

Be sure you thoroughly rinse the rise before cooking. I'd also suggest cooking a bit less at a time if it's still boiling over.

Just wash the apples and quarter them.No need to remove peel.I would say let them steam about 2 hours.

Hi There, Girl!.....I use mine with waffle-cut frozen potatoes.....just put a single layer on a shallow pan that isn't so big, that the hot air can't circulate.....Use the tall rack.....I set the temp at 400, and set for 10 mins per side.....the timer tends to cut the heat off at about 7 mins, but the potatoes get brown and pretty fast.....I hope this suggestion helps you:)

I do whole potatoes in under 30 min. But I would not recommend doing to much else it will end up shooting out the air pressure hole. Making huge mess and possibly screwing up the whole machine

I cut them into smaller pieces and put them in a plastic bag with a little oil and seasonings, if you wish. That works well because you cook for a shorter time. Also works well with meats. If you leave the skin on, like potatos, they stay moist but takes a longer cooking time.

Boil eggs first, peel shell ,egg should still be warm . Place in mold and run under cold water. Uses Xl eggs you might want to let them sit a bit before taking them out of mold.

Greg I am sorry to say this, but this machine, in my own personal opinion is a hunk of junk. To get the blades out, put the handle to the top and push the button on top of the blade. This releases the blade and it will come out the bottom of the housing. I purchased this machine, and the first time I made fries, the potato stuck in the blades so badly it bent the blades. I was not aggressive with the machine and did not force the potato through. Good luck

Just use low heat. It will boil very fast. These pots never need high heat. That is why I use them.

Sunk to the bottom without any hesitation. To prevent excessive tannins release. Go buy yourself a huge aluminum pot for about 10 bucks at your nearest mexican market (typically used to make tamales or posole) and boil them for a couple of hours. Once I did that, I did not get the brownish/tea water that many experience.

I see that everybody recommended using a drill to put a few holes in the bottom. I used an ice pick for the smaller onebut I think a drill would be better because these pretty little pots are tough! If you plan to leave the tray in the bottom of the pot, I would put about 4 small holes, about 2mm in diameter. Then if you put the pot on a raised trivet or use some pot feet, you shouldn't have a problem with roots staying wet too long. Almost forgot! Turn the pot upside down and drill through the bottom (obviously :->) but then check the inside and make sure the hole is clean - no residue clingingto the hole.

You can also high boil 7 to 10 minutes & low boil 5 minutes. If you boil too long the water diminishes.

Works with boiled potatoes. First slice the potatoes as thick as the cube will be, then run through machine.

put a layer of lettuce or spinach on the bottom of the steamer. it wont change the flavor and allows for easier clean up.

You cook them like you normally would. Be sure you have the grease cup on the side. Start at 425 and lower to around 200 and they will cook . You might want to put a little PAM on it first
