Mine is dish washer safe, but it has a stick free surface and I just give it
quick wipe out with some water, a paper towel and stick it back in the
machine for next time. It is a 15 year old Zojirushi.

Most bread machines have a "dough cycle". It's very handy if you don't want
to bake in the machine.

I've baked a loaf in there many times. I have the tall square pan and it
makes perfect sandwich sized slices. Unlike a friend of mine's who's is
round. What were the manufacturers thinking?! She gave it to me years ago
and during the holiday season I use it along with mine to make MORE dough.
