I baked ONE loaf in a new-fangled breadmaker thingy... it's in the next yard sale. I could smell and taste the non-stick coating. That may well "go away" after usage but I will never forget it. Reeeeal easy tho. Good for arthric hands. I'd say you should get one as they are cheap. Try it out for a while. If ya don't like it, put it in the garage sale.

I posted a funny story here about the one tiime that I used mine. The gist of it is, put it on some of that soft plastic non-skid matting before it works it's way off the counter when it's mixing.
