Bread machine question

[KenK]

Is there a good currently available bread machine that has a retracting
paddle? I find, in spite of using one for decades, the hole in the bottom
of the loaf and disfigured slices resulting from removal of the paddle more
and more annoying.

TIA

You may be able to stop the machine before he final rise and remove
the paddle yourself. A lot will depend on your machine's programming.

Well, certainly, Boron you can do that. Even on my Panasonic, which
doesn't beep (the dead Cuisinart did) at the appropriate time, if you
are around and listening for the final punch down, you can reach in and
remove the paddle.

But, I gather that Ken doesn't want even the hole where the driveshaft
for the paddle is to be in his bread. A retracting paddle would seem to
do that. I don't know of any machines that do that.

The other option is, of course, to remove the dough to a pan and bake it
in the regular oven.

I just remove the paddle, if I'm paying attention. The small shaft hole
really only affects 1 slice, and it's fine for toast or other purposes.

Regards,

Jack

Yeah, well, certainly. Disdainful a tad?

Amazingly, most of us here don't even use such a machine to make the
dough

Oh...there are no retractable paddle home models.

I didn't like the hole either.

I let it knead, once or twice,
let it rise [once or twice], until I like it,
[remove paddle]
then put it on my "bake only" setting, and bake

If you don't have a bake only setting,
you could put it in an oven bread pan, and bake

Now dearie, don't be so disrespectful of someone with a 'load' of
experience. :o) I mean, you know everyone here is striving to be
worthy of a bread machine.

Janet,

Being a mild-mannered,unassuming kind of man, I would never be subject to the hubristic desire to be worthy of an ABM. I know my limitations.

Actually, many of us know how to use them. The hole can be an issue to
some. It affects the last 2 slices.

My advice is if it bothers a person too much, discard those.

Anyone so bothered by the hole in the end of a bread machine loaf that
they be driven to toss that part away, has problems beyond Usenet to
solve.

I was responding to what I felt was a condescending tone toward Boron
when she only tried to help Ken. Boron is one of the most
knowledgeable people you will find regarding bread making. You jumped
into something that didn't concern you. As far as I remember, that is
probably the hardest comment made re bread makers.
Don't take offense, but this group has always been about
hand-crafted breads -- technique and problems. We take it seriously
when someone hands out bull pucky as gospel.
Sourdough is another dedicated group. Posters from both groups
were/are seen both places.
We understand why bread machine owners are here --There is no Usenet
group for bread machine owners and I suspect you would get short
shrift from the Sourdough group.
If someone is getting flak, it could be a personal issue rather than
aimed at bread machines.
