Perhaps a synthesis of most of the advice here would work (I find that it does for me eventually). Do not even try to get the bread out when it is still very hot. Just tip the tin upside down onto a wooden board. Then when it has cooled a bit, and it doesn't seem to budge, I just whack (short and sharp) the tin onto the wooden board. And again. And again. And again. Eventually, one of us gives up.    Report

That's what I do, except I use a cooling rack to allow the steam to escape. It usually drops out by itself. Clair the elements of disbelief are very strong in the morning Frank O'Hara    Report

I don't use a bread machine, so don't know if it's safe to line the tin with greaseproof paper, which would solve the problem.  I use liners in the tins to bake bread in the oven. Or, use a long sharp knife to at least loosen the sides of the loaf.    Report

I got the tail end of it, and it barely carries the memory of non-stick. Sweet, I am glad to report that so far, I have always won in the end... I find the problem is when I haven't oiled/buttered all inside and outside the blade properly. Then the blade won't let go, and in the end the bread has to be prised off the blade itself.  Pat, lining it wouldn't work because of the blade. The long sharp knife is OK for the sides (careful if you want to keep it non-stick) but doesn't help since it is the blade that holds the loaf in the end. I am sure all this would sound like gobbledigook to anyone who has never used a breadmaker. I still find it worth having, though.    Report

With some sort of paddle -like blade? So what happens to the blade when the loaf comes out? Do you have to chew around it? Mixing by hand can be so quick and easy, and I make 4 loaves at a time instead of just one.    Report

Pat, I've tried doing it by hand.  In fact, I really enjoyed doing the kneading and it was very relaxing and therapeutic. But, the results were always less than worth eating! Have thought and thought about a breadmaker for months on end and finally succumbed when I saw it in Netto for €40. Will try the upside-down-till-it-comes-out method.  The bread tonight BTW was superb so it's worth persevering!    Report
