Paddles end up inside the loaf when done baking !!!! why do they come off!!!? very annoying.. ruins the loaf trying to get them out ......think the machine is only good for mixing ...rather bake in oven in a pan....not a great product at all black and decker model

Hello, Linda -

I hope I am correct in thinking you are asking about the mixing paddle for a bread making machine and you do not have the instruction manual for it.

When the dough bakes, it bakes around the kneading blade. You must remove the blade from the bottom of the loaf after the bread is baked.

Hi,
Yes you can remove the paddle before baking. The cuizinart has a buzzer that sounds when to take the paddle out

If you want to take the paddle out you should make sure your machine has a pause feature so you don't lose any rising time.

Take pan out of machine, empty dough into a bowl, remove paddle, squirt the shaft in the bread pan lightly with veg oil (prevents sticking) then return the dough after final kneading time and before final rise.

Sounds like the paddle is no longer non stick..
Might be worth changing it.

I have the B2300 bread machine as well and I have encountered the same problem as you. So, I came up with the idea of removing the paddles right after the machine has stopped mixing the dough. Whenever I bake bread at home, I tend to follow the above mentioned solution and it made my life much easier.

Unfortunately trying to stick the paddles in the pan just tends to leave half the loaf in the bottom with them. The best method i have found is to cut the crust around the outside of the paddles, carefully avoiding the bit where the actual paddle blade is, then you insert a rod into the centre of the paddle and tilt it towards the blade. They normally come free pretty easily. Another method you can use if you are around the machine when it is making bread, is to remove the paddles at the end of the mixing/kneading cycle, just before the baking cycle starts. Most machines have a small pause allowing you to do this - sometimes with a "beep" or screen message to tell you that you can do this. Sorry i couldn't find the exact info for your model, it will vary for different baking programs also. If you check the cycle to determine at which stage it starts actually baking, then you can do this quite safely so long as you are careful of the machine heating up while you are removing the paddles - usually you would have around 20 minutes at least to remove the paddles before baking. Hope this helps :)
