I tried 3 before finding the West Bend that I liked best - but often around here there a nearly new ones in the goodwill/ thrift stores - you can tell by looking that they never were used or only a few times.

I picked up a extra one just cause it was like new -in the box w/ all booklets - at goodwill for only 8 bucks.
I always wipe it all down with bleach or Lysol just to be sure it's totally clean and then run the pan through the dishwasher too.

It's a Bake It Easy by Betty Crocker.
It's the one I use most now.
the heating element is about 2" up from the base , where the West Bend is at the bottom - I think a bit higher up makes for a more even crust baking.

I usually use the dough cycle and shape/bake it myself.

can't find anything about the Betty Crocker one.

there are so many styles & shapes now , another thing is find one that fits nicely on your counter so it is out there to use often.
Some are made to fit nicely in a corner or just blend in to the kitchen decor more than the old big white boxy style.



If you do try one and it burns or under bakes don't be afraid to return or exchange it -
