Put the rolls under a big plastic cake box, such as is molished by that nice Mr. Tupper. Only take it off just before you put it in the oven. I was given a breadmaker by a friend - she said I might be able to get it to work. It mixed OK (well, the paddle would keep getting stuck, otherwise that bit went according to plan), but it wouldn't bake. Neither would the paddle come out of its bearing. I had a look inside, but couldn't see anything obviously wrong - I disconnected the element and tested it with a multimeter, and that was OK. I put it all back together against the time I wanted a small mains motor, and when that time came, I began dismantling it again. Hum! What's this wire, floating aimlessly above the board? Well, it can only go - here... Soldering-iron out, and reassembled the thing, and everything worked - except that you couldn't leave it to get on with the mixing, 'cos it always jammed. It made excellent bread, though, the stuck paddle always ripped a lump of bread out on removing the loaf from the pan. In the end I gutted it, removed the paddle, motor, belt, etc, and plugged the bottom of the pan with a rolled-up and squished bit of aluminium foil. Now, I mix the dough in the Kenwood Chef (with a dough-hook), cover the pan with anything that's handy and hang it in a warm place, and when the dough has risen properly, bung it in the breadmaker and set it to bake. Lovely bread. Bloody fiddle, though. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig Brilliant Rusty, I don't have a big plastic cover thing so I shall be amusing myself looking round the hypermarket for one. I think I need you here for a few jobs, you can't refuse as we were neighbours!! I too have a problem with the mixing bit remaining in the bread and actually getting the bread out of the pan, now I put a tea towel on the floor and bang it hard, until it comes out still with paddle inside bread. A quick flick of a tool, searching for the paddle, flick, and it's out! There must be an easier way lol Judith |
