Tessa the Duchess Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I recently bought a Panasonic 254, makes great bread BUT I have a lot of problems removing the loaf when it has finished baking. I have to twist the paddle thing from underneath and it leaves an enormous hole in the loaf A couple of times the paddle has ended up inside the loaf Do others have this problem? Maybe mine is faulty? Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I haven't got the same breadmaker but i have found that oiling the tin before putting in any ingredients helps as does taking the tin out of the breadmaker when it has finished baking then leaving it on it's side for 10 minutes before trying to get the loaf out.

Tessa the Duchess Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 I don't think oiling the tin would help really, the problem is the paddle. The instructions say 'remove the bread immediately' but I have to twist the paddle round and round from under the tin and eventually the loaf comes out. It is very annoying.

Lesley Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 We have a different machine but if we do make bread in the pan we leave it for about 5 minutes, covered with a cloth, before tipping out and the paddle leaves a smaller hole. We usually just use the machine up to dough stage and then make a loaf on a baking sheet as we were fed up with the wastage caused by the hole left in the middle.

Looney Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have a panasonic 253 so not sure if loaf tin and paddle are the same...? We tip the tin upside down and give it a shake up and down a couple of times and the loaf comes out. It doesn't tend to leave a big hole although a tiny bit of bread is left stuck to the base of the paddle each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 we have a 253 and we've never had a problem getting the bread out at all. We do tend to leave it a few minutes before we get it out and have used it on timer and taken the bread out ages ofter it was finished and never a problem. Have you had it long as I don't think it should be doing that? Does the paddle come out of the tine easily after the loaf is out? We occasionally loose a bit more loaf if there's some old (baked three times type old) stuff stuck inside the paddle fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have a different breadmaker and I also have a problem with the non-stick coating on my pan as it is scratched. I now take the bread OUT as it has just gone into it's first rise (this is just after the beeps for adding fruit etc). I then remove the paddles and give the inside a good spray with the spray oil before returninig the bread. When it's cooked I just turn it out - it still has holes in but they are much smaller and it just drops out of the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Interesting replies. I have only had the machine about a month. I will try leaving the loaf to cool for 5 minutes before I try and remove it and see how it goes. The paddle seems fine and I always make sure there is not three times baked gunk inside it. The only time the bread came out easily was when the paddle itself ended up inside the loaf Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have a Prima breadmaker which I've had for about ten years. If I oil the tin before putting the ingredients in the loaf comes out quite easily, if I don't it sticks. I also use a wooden spatula down the side and wiggle it, which helps to release the loaf before turning it upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have a cheap and cheerful breadmaker and my paddle often gets stuck in it. I've given up trying to sort it out and treat it a bit like a penny in a Christmas pudding now. If you get that bit, you're lucky! 'Seedy' breads seem to be the worst culprits for sticking. The more stuff in the loaf, the more it sticks for me. Although tomato bread rarely ever sticks. Do you find there is a different degree of stickiness depending on the recipe?

Mrs Webmuppet Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 My breadmaker is a cheapy one too. The paddle always gets stuck in the loaf and I have to chip away the bottom of the loaf to extract it, but at least its the kind of paddle that lays flat once it's done it's kneading cycle.

..lay a little egg for me Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 My panasonic sometimes also buries the paddle sometimes...I assumed I had not pushed the paddle down firmly enough before putting in the ingredients, but thinking about it, it might be to do with the consistency of the dough. Like most of the others here, I leave it in the tin for 5 mins before attempting to turn it out. I think the non-stick coating is past its best, because it used to be fine!! I tried oiling the pan but didn't notice much difference. The only thing about leaving it in the pan is that the crust is not quite as crusty as if you turn it out immediately.

WitchHazel Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I have a panny 255, and I used to have the 253. I usually turn the bread out as soon as it beeps, but I have been known to forget and leave it in there for several hours. In any case, I just turn the pan upside down and shake, and the bread comes out. I don't think I've ever lost the paddle in the bread. I did lose it when I was making ciabatta dough once, as I had the dough too wet. What sort of bread are you making? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I've tried leaving it for 5 minutes before turning it out, and it makes no difference. It's not that the loaf is sticking to the pan, it's that the loaf somehow gets stuck on the paddle. Oh well, I'll just resign myself to always having a loaf with a big hole in the bottom I make white bread, wholemeal bread (fussy family) and sometimes I make the 50/50 white and wholemeal bread.
