I have to admit that I had my doubts, but this little donut maker surprised me! They give you instructions on how to use it, plus recipes for donuts and glaze, which is appreciated considering many of the donut recipes I found online required the donut to be fried. The donut recipes will make this chunky, sort've sticky dough and I wasn't sure if that was how it was supposed to look, but it worked out fine for me. I spooned WAY too much dough into the little wells, so it kinda spilled over! But wow it did not stick at all!!!!! There was nothing to wipe out of the donut maker, it was like it was never used! And after i fixed them up a little(meaning tearing the extra baked dough off the edges of the actual donut) they looked pretty good! The glaze was pretty tasty too! I would suggest adding a little less nutmeg into the batter, but other than that this little machine worked well!!! (Giving it four stars because you have to be WAY too precise with how much dough you put in the wells)
