Hi sweet 17 As another recent breadmaking virgin I feel that, as with so many other things in life, timing is of the essence. I time my machine to finish it's final "keep warm hour" just as I get up in the morning. I then open the top of the machine and leave it for a short time until I can just about handle the tin by hand. I then turn it upside down onto rungs and leave it for a further few minutes. A firm double shake then seems to dislodge it nicely. If the paddle stays in (and this has only happened once to me) then I leave it there until I'm very close to cutting and then ease it out gently. I do make rolls using the breadmaker just for mixing and what this has taught me  is how to handle dough so that I really enjoy making a pizza and getting loads of our favourite toppings on. Keep trying. Benjamin Is Miki back?    Report

I have made bread for most of my adult life (don't ask how long!) and one year a kind girlfriend donated me a breadmaker! The reasons quoted in this thread are exactly those that led to me also donating it to someone else!!    Report

Breadmakers are just wonderful for those who, like me and many others, have the beginnings of arthritis in hands or wrists. Kneading days over, weed-pulling days over, but thanks to breadmakers, breadmaking days can carry on....    Report

We have been using our bread machine for about one year now.  We too have  sometimes found it  difficult to get the bread out.  From experience we have found the best way is to invert the tin (either when cool or straight out of the machine) and give one corner a sharp knock on the work top and the loaf will normally slide out with the aid of a few shakes. The paddles very often stay in the loaf and can be picked out with a little extractor tool that came with the machine. We find it is best to do this after the loaf has cooled. To make life a little easier I lightly grease (or oil) the post and paddles before using the machine again. I hope this helps.    Report

Thank you to everybody who has posted with their thoughts since my own last post on this thread. Vindolanda, I will definitely grease the posts where the paddles fit before the next use. I haven't actually had the paddles stay in the loaf, it's more like the damn things staying stubbornly afixed to the posts that's stopping the bread from coming out!

Make sure the inside of the paddle and the stem it sits on are clean of dough. I leave mine to soak to soften any leftover crusty bits.

I have read this thread with increasing disbelief but have realised that perhaps we are lucky.  I do not grease anything and bread comes out as soon as it is cooked.  I just give a firm shake.  Paddle stays in tin, never once have we had to dig it out. Perhaps the problem is cheap bread machines? Our was bought in the UK after reading Which?  It was more expensive than most but has never been a problem.  It is a Panasonic.  The only problem we had until recently was flour,  but we solved that that by buying in bulk on our twice a year visits back to the UK.  Very recently we have found flour here in France that does work with our recipe.  Most recipes on other machines we see use a whole sachet of yeast, we use just half a teaspoon with 400g flour and the results are wonderful. We make dough only for pizza or rolls. If I had had the problems in this thread I would have taken the machine back and said it was not fit for the purpose. Mrs H    Report
