I have a pampered chef stone bread pan which works great. I used this one and the bread stuck to the bottom. Any suggestions?

I didn't end up keeping mine, but I always use Crisco when I am baking. Not the spray...the spray seems to leave a film on all of my baking dishes.

I generally spray the bottom of the pan with Original Pam. Have not had a sticking problem.

I had the same problem! Let the pan soak in hot water for 5-10 minutes, then wiggle the paddle back and forth. After a minute, it should loosen and you can pull it off. If it doesn't, get a wash cloth and slide it under the paddle. Then pull upwards. That should do the trick!

If you mean after your bread has baked, it should pop out & leave the paddle behind. If you're finding the the paddle is repeatedly remaining in the bread, try measuring your oil, then dipping the paddle in it prior to assembly.

Mine slipped all over the place and it proved to be too small for the amount of dough I was using for two loaves of bread. I threw it away. It was much easier just to work on the kitchen counter and clean with a plastic pot scraper.

Had no problem with that but my dough wasn't right and it stuck to maker. Good luck

Are you sure that the rotating part has not slipped slightly when you placed the food on the tray? Sometimes we have the problem and find that the tray slipped a hair and then from the weight of the food, it slipped enough to stop completely or rubs on the side of the appliance. Was cooking a chicken in a bag (in half-time) and the bag got so heavy with juice that it hit the side of the appliance and stopped completely. My wife loves the half-time. Does not use the regular oven at all anymore.

I add butter on the top of the bread. It does not seal it but it sure taste great!! I would not choose this one again since the top of it gets so hot and i have burned myself a couple times on it. I would look around for others that might work better???

I have had this happens with pans before that have a coating. I think it gets old after a while, and micro cracks form. I know generously prep all pans with butter and/or flour or use parchment paper.

Mine was that way the last couple years of its life. The shaft is coming out the bottom of the pan, right? What's happened is there used to be a little circlip around the shaft right under the seal (on the inside of the pan) that used to hold it in. The circlip has rusted out and broken. If there's still enough friction around the edges of the seal to hold the shaft in against gravity, you can keep using it, because once the pan is in the breadmaker the shaft will rest on the drive plate and won't fall out. In a way, it's a good thing because you can take the shaft out and clean it and the bearing when it gets sticky. On the other hand, if the seal isn't gripping the shaft at all and the shaft just falls out by itself, it means the seal is also shot and you probably ought to replace the pan. And if you're going to replace the pan you should probably also replace the paddle because the Teflon coating wears off after a while. I was coating the paddle on mine with oil (cooking oil!) for every batch of bread, which was getting tedious. To be honest, I just retired my unit a couple weeks ago and replaced it with a Panasonic, because after 10+ years of a loaf of bread a week, it was pretty worn out. - Andy

Breading doesn't stay on well in the actifry. The stirring action usually knocks it off. I have tried things like frozen onion rings and they come out with much of the breading off.

If you didn't try placing the stone on an upper shelf already, I'd try that first. If that's not helping, find out if your oven is accurately measuring temperature with an inexpensive oven thermometer. After that, I guess the next thing I'd do is just not heat the stone for as long and perhaps lower the oven temp. I used the uppermost placement of my shelf and it worked very well with both topping and crust getting done at the same time.

It happened to me once because bread dough somehow got caught between the blade and the pan. I let the pan soak for a while in warm, soapy water until the dough softened up and then was able to lift it up and clean both parts.

make sure your recipe fit the pan size - this is a normal sized bread pan so most bread recipes should work just fine - I suspect that your yeast isn't fresh or your not letting your doe rise long enough or in a warm enough location - your yeast is probably the issue here.

When I cook pizza on the stones they don't really stick to the pan at all. Only thing I do to prep is put the stones in the oven a hour before to get them hot and ready. One thing I do with the dough is make sure it is not to sticky by adding more flour in the dough. You want very little sticky. If to much it will stick to everything. You can also put a little bit of dust of flour between the stone and bread to help. I hope that helps.

I leave my paddle in the pan. Never remove it. I just clean the pan with the paddle in it and it works well for me. When my bread is done I just take the pan out and wiggle it a little to get the loaf out. The paddle stays in the pan instead of getting stuck in the loaf. Hope this helps!

Yes, that happens sometimes, mine came with a special tool to remove the paddle. You can remove the paddle before the bread starts baking if you prefer.

just tried it and a magnet does NOT stick to the bottom of the pan - so sorry...
