Dough blade I purchased a new Sunbeam breadmaker model 5891 6-18-08 and made a loaf of bread last evening. TO my shock the pans teflon coating under the hook was worn away from the rotation during the breadmaking. It was removed from the beater striking it. I am very concerned that the teflon was in the bread and we consumed it. Now the machine is no longer safe to use as it is a health hazard. Sunbeam Corp. needs to address this serious problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Knowing your breadmaker's loaf capacity will enable you to find recipes of any variety on the Internet for free.

It will also keep you from adding too much ingredients which could cause dough to over-rise and spill onto the heating element.

Remove your bread pan from your breadmaker. Using a one-cup 8-fluid-ounce liquid measure, fill your bread pan with water. As you do, count the number of cups it takes to fill your bread pan to the very rim.

Generally speaking...

If your bread pan holds 7 & 10 cups to the rim then you have a 1.0 lb or 500 g loaf pan

10 & 11 cups to fill = 1.5 lb (700 g) loaf pan

11 & 13 cups to fill = 2.0 lb (900 g) loaf pan

13 & 15 cups to fill = 2.5 lb (1250 g) loaf pan

15 & 17 cups to fill = 3.0 lb (1350 g) loaf pan

Generally speaking...

A bread recipe for use in a 1.0 lb (500 g) breadmaker should never exceed 2-1/4 total cups of flour.

1.5 lb (700 g) = 3-1/4 c

2.0 lb (900 g) = 4-1/4 c

2.5 lb (1250 g) = 5-1/4 c

3.0 lb (1300 g) = 6-1/4 c

Warning: When testing a new bread recipe it is always best that you not leave your breadmaker unattended. Stay close by to monitor its progress from time to time.

Did this answer help? I hope so. Please rate it as soon as you can. Thank you.

Hi,
The sealed bearing on the bottom of your pan is broken. There is no fix for it...sorry. If under warranty sunbeam will replace it. Try looking on eBay for a new pan. ( I have same model as you and the bearing froze after 5 years of heavy use. The pans on eBay were very expensive, so I bought a new Sunbeam iat Walmart in New Hampshire for just under $50.00 and no tax).

The Teflon coating on the inside of the pan has worn. You will need a new pan and probably also a paddle. In the meantime you could try spraying the inside of the pan with cooking oil prior to each use.

Hi,
You can take the paddle out of the bread pan after the last kneading cycle and before final rise. Do this rather quickly if you don't have a pause feature so you don't lose any rising time.

Take the bread pan out of the machine, put dough in a bowl, remove paddle, put dough back in pan, put pan back in machine.

Some people suggested to spray a small squirt of olive oil on the shaft to prevent sticking.

It is normal. It allows the dough to fall back on the mixer blade. Often these reverse and that also gives the motor time to come to complete stop before reversing.

We have had a number of bread makers and this is the way they work - the bread cooks and the paddle has to pull out somehow so it just rips a hole in the bread.
We found it better to let the machine do all the mixing etc. then my wife takes the dough out and puts most of it in a loaf pan and some in the form of buns in another pan. Works better for us & the bread is a more "normal" shape rather than the odd shape produced in the breadmaker. Also the crust isn't so tough when done our way.

I had that problem with my Zoji breadmaker. I sprayed a little non-stick spray on the blad and it worked. You can also spray the pan.

Watch/listen to the machine your machine. After the last knead cycle, remove the paddle from the bake pan before the dough rises, continue to bake as normal.

I had great success in finding what I wanted for my breadmaker at http://breadmakerpartsemporium.ioffer.com/. They have manuals and parts for most breadmakers at very reasonable prices.
