The device is a Nostalgia Electrics Bakery Bites Express, model series BSM300. It is designed for making various mini treats such as brownies, cookies, cupcakes, and bundt cakes without the need for an oven.

Function Description:

The Bakery Bites Express allows users to quickly and easily prepare miniature baked goods. It features interchangeable cooking trays for different types of treats. The main unit contains a fixed brownie and cookie pan, and separate mini cupcake and mini bundt cake cooking trays can be placed on top of this fixed pan. The appliance preheats rapidly, indicated by a "Green Ready Light," and cooks pastries in a short timeframe, typically 3-7 minutes, depending on the recipe and desired doneness. It's suitable for both homemade recipes and pre-packaged mixes for cakes, cookies, muffins, cornbread, and cinnamon buns.

Versatile Cooking: Capable of making brownies, cookies, mini cupcakes, and mini bundt cakes.
Interchangeable Trays: Includes a fixed brownie/cookie pan, and detachable trays for mini cupcakes and mini bundt cakes.
Brownie Cutter: Comes with a brownie cutter for easy portioning of brownies. The cutter requires assembly by inserting three blades into the lower blade and then sliding the handle into the blades, aligning notches.
Nonstick Surface: The cooking surfaces are nonstick, requiring light oiling periodically to maintain their quality and prevent sticking. Flour can also be sprinkled over oiled trays for extra nonstick protection.
Indicator Lights: Features a "Red Power Light" to indicate the appliance is on and a "Green Ready Light" that turns off when the unit is preheated and ready for cooking.
Quick Cooking: Most pastries cook within 3-7 minutes.

- Always use oven mitts or pot holders when opening and closing the lid or removing cooking trays due to hot surfaces and steam.

- Exercise caution when moving the appliance with hot food.
- Pastries will be very hot; use a fork or spoon to carefully scoop them out.
Testing Doneness: For cakes and brownies, it is recommended to test doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the pastries are done.
Batch Cooking: When cooking multiple batches, lower the lid between batches to maintain heat.
