is the dough crumbly?

Only if it dries out. If it doesn't dry out completely, you can rescue it by wrapping it in a damp paper towel overnight.

No, it's nice clay. We've had it for months and as long as you keep the lids on (as is the case with all clay) it has a nice consistency.

I think sometimes the problem is in the paddles. I have had a couple of loaves turn out a bit strange, and usually the reason was that the paddles weren't locked down properly. One time I used too much of a heavy flour with not enough liquid (when experimenting with my own recipe), so that can cause problems as well. Otherwise, everything else has turned out perfectly.

Yes and no. I wipe it off first with a paper towel to get the grease and flour off as much as possible. Then I clean it with very hot water on a cloth with Dawn dish soap. The edges require a bit of extra attention to make sure you get all the dough out of the nooks and crannies. Once you get the hang of cleaning it tho, you'll love this product.

It is fairly soft and easy to cut, but like all halva - a bit crumbly. I cut it into cubes and serve as a dessert.

No, it is softer. I roll it up to store. Love baking on it. I do need to increase baking time by about 1-2 minutes. Wash it in mild, soapy water and hang to dry or use lint free towel.

I've had this problem but only in a small ammount. I dusted it with flour and worked the stickey dough off the bowl that way. On a bigger scale it could work too.

Looking at mine, there appear to be 2 parts that are plastic. The inside flat, round piece that presses against the dough to push it down and the top by the handle that is black.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "crumbly." It needs to hold its shape enough to be able to not fall out of the holes. So, stale bread kind of "crumbly," yes. Grape Nuts kind of "crumbly," no.

I would suggest allowing it to get super dried out and try to remove as much as you can with a stiff paint brush or other stiff brush - not wire. Dough needs to be on the dry side with the inside heavily flour dusted prior to placing your dough in the banneton.

Depends on the consistency of the dough. You may have to help some of it into the corners. Try to keep the dough level.

Hello, No, everything bakes consistently, the center is smooth and the borders a bit crusty, but i like it that way.

I made a loaf last week in mine and it was making a loud noise which it hadn't done before. The dough looked too dry so I added water a little at a time, and the noise did go away.

I am using the machine for the first time. It's making such a big noise. Stopped the machine and checked it for several times but my effort made no difference. Looking at the manual, it said that means the dough is too dry and adding some water may solve the problem. I will try that solution next time.

I have made pizza dough and it came out just fine. Have not tried cookie dough yet. I think it is a good machine for the money. I had my oster for 16 years before it died.

I think it is. I'm very happy with my set. I would scoop out dough with each one and then measure them to see which one is closest. I've just used them for meatballs so far, and being able to wash them in the dishwasher is a plus. Play with them and see how they work for you.

I never tried that because I do it the old fashioned way. My hands tell me when the moisture in the dough is OK. Screw this tech stuff. Much more enjoyable folding and pushing dough around with your hands. Try it. You might like it. Ed Lange

Yes maybe even easier than regular play dough. It doesn't crumble, stain or stick to surfaces. We have had this dough for 6 months now and it's holding up great.
