I was really silly … last time I made bread in the bread maker, I tidied up as I went along. This is very unusual for me… and the consequences were almost tragic for the bread maker.
I lost the stupid paddle (pictured).
Don’t know where it went, don’t know what I did with it. Can’t find it anywhere. So now my breadmaker is largely useless, until I find a replacement part.
The good news is that we bought a small oven, around about the same time. So when I buy the replacement paddle, I’ll be able to bake bread without it sticking, unduly.
I have to choose between dropping $7000 on a new Japanese model or spending $2000 to get a new paddle. Mmm.
My sister in law is recommending hers:
Perhaps a little pricy. What do you think?
