I found Udi's in the frozen section and, upon defrosting it, noticed a white powder on the bottom crust like bread mold. What gives?

It is harmless as it has to do with the baking process of the bread. If the bread gets moist the mold will be more green, stuck to the bread, and will definitely have hair on it. I've gone through cases of this stuff and left one in the cupboard too long and that one did get moldy but that white powder is nothing to worry about.

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.

Hi Anne,Thanks for your reply - I checked the yogurt maker and it seems to be over heating - that would explain things!

I really don't know but it is considerable. Generally, I break the package apart and put a few slices in each package and then freeze it. I defrost a package for about 20 seconds in the microwave and the bread is excellent. It is my favorite for toast. Yum!

One commenter stated something about mold, most water has minerals in it and it also has other things depending on the source, all icemakers need to be cleaned periodically even that big commercial machines, customers are just not aware of what comes out of the commercial machines so cleaning your icemaker periodically is a necessity.

I have only had mine for a couple months...but I haven't noticed any issues with mold. However, I do tend to make most of my food in spurts, so I'll make a bunch in a single day and freeze it...then I go through a pretty thorough cleaning of the unit.

Record cold Valley Forge winter don't know if affected inside gelcaps backup bottle not opened yet--maybe I should check. Brought in from steps right away, & if I remember right was pkgd in bubble wrap in cardboard box. It's usually heat that's more the problem, though some olive oil mayo was found at store purchase to have been separated from the cold. Maybe you can ask shipper to insulate. Against heat, I stock up on perishable online orders before summer, & keep in cooler basement.

In instructions with seeds, it says those white fluffy things are part of seed roots, not mold and go away when you add water. That's been my experience.

I freeze all my Udis bread. Then I pull it out 1 slice at a time and lightly toast it for sandwiches. You could set out several slices at a time in a container if you're going to eat them within a few days. Gluten free stuff should be left on the counter in a container or put in the freezer...the fridge dries it out.

I didn't do that. I did the same as Jack. I don't remember the instructions saying to run it empty. I cleaned it out, and started making my bread! My first loaf was a low-carb bread. The texture came out just fine!

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

It is as white as the driven snow. Put parchment or wax paper under the cake edges and ice all the way down, then remove. grooves not a problem for me. I don't use it for serving.

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

John, I've never noticed any white powder. I'm disabled and extremely careful to have filtered water in the ice trays and water bottle. I feel sure I'd have noticed any residue. I would recommend these--I use several all the time.

I've not used mine in a couple of years, but the bowls have been in the garage freezer non-stop. Today I used it to make Scharffenberger chocolate sorbet. I made the mixture last night and chilled as directed. This morning I used the machine as directed. It NEVER froze, just got to a slurpee consistency. Now it's back in the garage freezer firming up for tonight. I found that you may have to do it a day in advance to be sure it's in the best form for serving. I agree about the vanilla getting grainy. It did with me too. I also have Wms Sonoma's Ice Cream book. It's a good one and I love the grapefruit granita recipe, despite the mess that it makes on my floor!

The interior parts may be leaking. They may be replaced. Check at the companies website. I keep it in the refrigerator, when it empties, I refill it. I don't worry about mold.
