Any tips on how to clean the inner rim? I get cake batter in it and it becomes a pain to clean. -_-

I would use a bamboo skewer and run it along the rim. If you can't do that, I would let it dry out then tap the pan against a cutting board. Any dried batter would fall off. Be careful not to bang it too hard or you would misshapen the pan. Soaking method could work but all it does is soften the batter and makes it sticky and harder to get out. Try it and see if this works. If not, the days might be numbered for your pan.

With my new ones, I haven't had any problems with anything sticking (so far) I have several older ones that do cause that problems. I have started using a non stick spray on them. If something still sticks, then I'll take a toothpick and run it around the rim. So far so good. Something a friend of mine just suggested is a soft toothbrush might do the trick as well. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I haven't had that issue. As others have posted, I would make a point to grease the rim well or soak it prior to cleaning.

I always spray mine with a nonstick spray and a gentle sponge and dish soap has always worked for me. If not, perhaps soaking it in a warm sudsy water until the cake batter can easily be removed.

I've not had an issue with cleaning it. Periodically I put it in the dishwasher on the top rack. I'm lucky enough to have one of those adjustable top racks.

Maybe if you only used mini chips, but I still think it would tend to clog up. We just drop the chips in the batter when it's on the griddle//pan and they come out great.

I tried every type of mix (store-bought and homemade) that I could think of. Always had a problem with batter leaking out and/or sticking to the heated plates. Also found this a nightmare to clean. I was very disappointed in this appliance :-(

You have to remove it. You can purchase additional bowls for multiple recipes, replace them, etc... It's not internal.

No, I cut the extra rubber prongs out of the ends too, so the treats will come out easier. I don't know if you could put it in the dishwasher or not? I use cut up natural balance treats, and they pretty much roll it and drop it to get the treats out, so they don't do alot of licking on the interior...so haven't worried about washing it. But good point...may try the dishwasher on it.

Had the same issue. I could live with that but not the interior cleaning issue. Food results great but after about four or five meals interior was impossible to clean. Started to set off my smoke alarms. Decided to return it.

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

Try putting more batter in. Mine weren't browning on the top until I realized I wasn't putting enough batter in for it to touch the top.

The cake does get stuck. Mostly close to the center point. I ended up bending the sweeper to clean under it and wasn't able to get it to lay down as flat as before. I haven't used it since so I'm not sure how much it will impact the ability to get the cake out cleanly.

Put an oil around the outside of the rim. I've used coconut oil and that's done a great job. Baby oil works as well, just not as well in my opinion.

all I did was spray some non-stick spray all over inside the bottom the first few times. now, I just spray the bottom very lightly, and nothing ever sticks, even on the sides where I haven't sprayed. I just wipe out and use my scraper and/or clean with plain water. I guess my baker is seasoned very well by now ... been using it several times weekly for a little over a month. also, I usually proof my bread in the baker and start baking in a cold to warm oven (warming the lid some).

The beater rotates around in a circle, I guess meaning it has "planetary action." Also, it doesn't actually touch the bottom, so you will need to use a spoon to mix up the very bottom of the batter. And mine is holding up just fine!

Shirley, sorry to hear about your donuts not coming out of your pans. I haven't used the pans yet, but sounds like the the nonstick surface isn't working.

I just purchased one of these and had the same question. Why does this happen? I wish I would have seen your comment BEFORE I purchased. ALready seems like such a hassle to clean every day and the cute little brush at the end of the scoop doesn't help.

Try to clean shortly after use to avoid problems. When necessary I use a bit of dishwashibg liquid and sponge and hot water. No problems so far. Hope this helps.

well it is easy to clean to me. The coffee residue will be in a cake form so what you need to do is put the coffee cake in the trash can or save it for other use. Every part else can be rinse with water. Hope this helps you. :)
