is the paddle removable before the baking begins, that is a feature on the Cuisinart that I love and I was gearing my purchase based on that...

I've never seen the feature you're talking about, but no, the paddle stays till you dig it out in the end.
2001949
Yes, with some difficulty. You have to set a separate timer to remove the paddle before the last rise. You set the machine on pause, take the dough out and then put it back in and push start to finish the cycle.

how will you do it? gently reach under the dough, lift up the paddle high enuf to clear the post, and not cause the bread to collapse, even a little? might work............

The paddle is removable. You would have to take the dough out to remove the paddle as it is on the bottom of the pan.

Yes, I remove it after the last "rise" before baking time begins. You gently remove the dough and paddle (you may have to gently pry the dough off the paddle, reshape it a bit, and replace it in the pan). I don't even bother to push pause, and re-start as there is a bit of a rise period before the actual baking starts. With a little practice, you can do it quickly. My loaves always come out great!

Yes. The pan doesn't come with a paddle, but it is ready to use when a paddle is inserted.

I am starting to think that it makes a difference--if you open the lid while it's mixing/kneading, I often see a huge blob of dough on one paddle and just a tiny string wrapped around the second paddle. In theory, they should combine to make 1 big mass but sometimes they don't. I don't know what the factory setting is, maybe equally opposite each other... I will try changing it next time to see.ALSo, I usually take the paddles off after the 2nd knead and remove the doughball and form it into an oval and put it back inside and close the lid. Even doing this, I still usually get caved in loaf tops!

I had the same thoughts when I saw my X20 for the first time. However I find that the paddles usually come out very cleanly without mangling the bread. When that happens the holes are not so objectionable.

No, it will do it's thing, just make sure you put it in the upright position when loading the ingredients. Also I find , after cleaning it each time, the paddle does'nt move freely and has to be loosened up by moving it back and forth or with using a little olive oil each time I use it.

Yes it is removable. I clean mine with baking soda so that there is not a leftover after taste

I haven't paid attention to the position of the paddles. I just pull them out after the bread is done. The way the paddles operate, the direction of rotation would most likely have to reverse for a couple of seconds at the end of the kneading cycle to stand a chance of laying flat consistently. Even if they reversed, they may not lie flat depending on the location of the ball of bread dough in the pan. It could easily hold one or both paddles in their final position. My best guess is they do not reverse and may lay flat sometimes and not other times. Plan B would be to remove the paddles at the end of the kneading cycle before baking if this is an issue.

I'm researching bread makers. One that I've seen does have two paddles because it can be set to make two loaves next to each other at the same time.I think it is a higher-end Breadman model, but it could be a Zojirushi, which is the other brand I'm looking seriously to buy. I've heard good things and bad things about two paddles. I don't think you need two to make gf bread.

Before buying my 5891, I read of this 'sticking paddle' problem. Since buying, what I have been doing prior to baking, is rubbing a little oil ( butter, olive oil or whatever edible lube is close at hand ) onto the stem. My paddle has not yet stuck.

I'm on my third bread machine since they first became available and all three have done the same thing paddle-wise (and they are all different brands). I let it go and wash the pan with the paddle intact. Whether the paddle comes off the spindle or not, it's *still* going to leave a small tear in the bottom of the loaf (you DO have to remove it from the bread, after all). In fact, the bread bakes *around* the paddle and a tear/slit/hole forms during THAT process.I usually don't serve the "heel" of the loaf, anyway.

The paddle can be a little difficult to remove, but soaking it in water always gets it loose. I have started oiling the paddle and the post it stands on in the baking pan. This helps a great deal.

Yes, the BBM800XL Custom Loaf™ Bread Maker comes with both a collapsible paddle and a fixed paddle.

HI I recently bought a 7qt Stand Mixer (Cuisinart) So I Searched (Cuisinart 7qt Stand Mixer Accessories) There was a different paddle then what I got but is better as it has rubber sider for Scraping down the sides of the bowl so you won't have to. I am going to Order one as I like it. Include the size of your stand mixer Like I did . So Here's to Baking and not having to scrape down the sides anymore !!!! :) The cost was 43.99 . Worth the Price. Merry Christmas !

Set baking to delay 1 hour. Remove dough then paddle. Replace dough back in machine then press start to start baking. Would that work?

I soaked it in water for awhile and was able to pry it up. If it's stuck in the bread, I use the wire gadget that comes with the machine and locate the paddle. Then, I gently work around it and lift it out. Unfortunately, it makes a hole in the bread, but it's not too bad if the paddle isn't yanked out.
