I have the recipe booklet that PJ wrote for the Zo, although I haven't made anything yet. I have been wondering what is the difference between baking on the Jam cycle and baking using the Homemade Settings. Also, some recipes have you leave in the paddles and others have the paddles removed. I would love get some tips, if possible. If it's okay, I can post the recipes from the booklet on the Baking Circle so others can have access. I don't want to post the recipes without permission though, in case KAF would rather I didn't do that. I wonder if it would be possible if PJ's mom could post some of her recipes on the Baking Circle that she makes in the ZO? We'd be thrilled to have you post those 'bake in the Zo" recipes on the community - thanks so much! The jam cycle uses the paddles, and stirs (like for risotto, or soup, anything that benefits by stirring); that's why you leave the paddles in. The homemade bake cycle does nothing but bake, so you don't need the paddles. My mom doesn't have any recipes - she's been cooking so long, she just does it by sight. She'll layer apples and sweet potatoes, then a couple of pork chops, then maybe some chopped onions; pour broth in to moisten, then bake. Or she just bakes her favorite meatloaf recipe in the Zo (also nothing written down, though I know she uses oatmeal). Enjoy - PJH
