Does baking with it help eliminate the grittiness?

I don't think it would - but that's a guess. I couldn't see how heat would change the mouth feel, etc., as proteins typically don't become glass-like in this fashion.

I tried boiling it in some water to test, and it seemed to be gritty still, but that was only for a couple minutes. It is most likely best to not heat too much and alter the proteins.

I use it in bread and there is no grittiness that I can detect. It is not the only ingredient, and I use about a third of a cup for a loaf. That is the only thing I have used it in.

Haven't baked with it yet. I use it in smoothies, in which I use two bananas and some chia seed gel (flax oil helps a bit too) to smoothen out the texture of it and the other protein powders I mix it with.

Every time I use the pan, the sides come clean. I have not had to remove anything from the sides. You could try taking a 1/4 cup of baking soda and add hydrogen peroxide until a paste forms, then use your hands to scrub out the offending particles. This is a pretty good and safe all purpose cleaner for bake ware.

sure it can ! just put in your ingredients and let it do the mixing for you. Sometimes I make the dough in the machine and bake it in the oven instead of the machine. It's nice to use it that way too, kind of keeps the mess in one place.

I highly recommend it! Just add flour slowely but a must if using highly speeds. The only thing you can't use it with is the dough hook but that is slow speed. I consider it an essential piece of the mixer.

Blending probably won't help. There might be a touch of grittiness to this but I have not noticed it. I do put it in a blender when I add coconut butter to smoothies, and usually just a spoonful to go along with a piece of dark chocolate for dessert. Incredibly tasty and good for you. I think this brand and another called Tropical Traditions are going to be the highest quality - and least gritty - you can find.

I haven't tried it in the oven, but it's an amazing abrasive cleaner. I suggest trying it on one small spot to see how it works.

No, I have baked cakes, muffins, and cookies! Worked great on that stuff. Wish I could help!

No. Use it as it comes. If using it for pastry and such it is always best to first dust lightly with flour.

Yes. It tends to produce a slightly "gluey" texture. I add 15-20% oat flour to the blend and this seems to improve baked goods.

Yes, hand wash, and do not add spray pam or other oils/butter to the pan before baking - it will mar the non-stick coatin

With the right crust you should be fine. However, I always have a little liquid that leaks out when using this pan so I always put it on a baking sheet to make clean up easier. Hope that helps :)

Baking soda, barkeeper, or bon ami works better with a non-abrasive sponge, make into a paste and ad in a circular motion. Let set for a while and then repeat as necessary. Hope this helps BUT remember clean after each cooking episode so the build-up is less. . Good Luck .

You could, in a pinch, but you are better off with an actual flour sifter. Although the mesh is tight, a flour sifter is much tighter and would warrant much better results in baking. Best of luck!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough has been the grittiest so far. I've had double chocolate chuck, white chocolate raspberry,raspberry cheesecake and few of the others and while they all have that same particular grittiness, none have been as prevalent as in this flavor. I agree with the microwave bit as well. They are so much more enjoyable when they are warm/soft.

I used it on the smooth cook surface, worked great, then I got smart and bought a tassimo, after spending a fortune on percolatorss and french presses. No clean up. Life got easier.

Yes. See Lori Viets' book, No More Bricks. She says some are better than others. She uses Blue Chip Baker enhancer.

In my experience, yes, you can. The results should be as good or better because this is a very fine flour therefore you shouldn't have any grittiness in the product you are baking. I have noticed a big difference in using this flour as compared to other "cheaper" brown rice flours.
