Submitted by betty2dogs on April 5, 2008 - 12:04pm. kneading blade stuck on the Zojirushi shaft - removal tips?I recently replaced my old Breadman [12 years of steady use!] with a new mini Zo. I love this new breadmaker, but I have trouble removing the kneading blade from the shaft after I am done baking a loaf. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I am worried about scratching the non-stick surface of the pan as that is the only reason I had to finally replace the old breadman - the final straw came when I had to pry an Easter loaf from the pan in pieces. I wonder if it is important to remove it at all, but don't like the idea that I can't clean the pan properly. Thanks for any help!

Removing stuck Zo blades
Put enough water in the bucket to cover the blades and let it soak for an hour or two (or overnight). The instruction manual says not to do that, but I have been for 3.5 years now with no noticable ill effect.

As I said when the first baby was born, "I don't care what the label says; if it doesn't survive in the washing machine we didn't need it"!

I soak also
I usually try and spray the post with non-stick spray. This helps some. Then I soak the pan. If the paddles still do not come off easily I use a plastic disk that is from Pampered Chef to place under the paddle and lift. The plastic disk comes with all of Pampered Chef's stoneware.

Thanks! I think I will also
Thanks! I think I will also grease the post a little. That used to work on my old Breadman.
I don't want to use the Pampered Chef blade yet. I did start to use that on my old bread machine bucket and while it was very good at removing the stuck-on crust bits, I think it also marred what was left of the finish on the bucket. Of course, the old bucket had long lost most of its non-stick coating. With this new machine, I plan to be as gentle as possible for as long as I possibly can.

Clarification
Just to clarify, I never use the Pampered Chef tool to scrape my bucket. I actually try not to touch the bucket at all. It is just the right size to get under the paddle and lift with it. I believe it is a similar material that is safe for no-stick cookware, so if it does happen to touch the bucket it should not do any damage.
I definitely am VERY careful about the finish on my bucket too. I definitely want to preserve my bucket's life as long as possible. I love my Zoji. We just used it to make pizza dough last night.

Just a little lift
Now I can picture exactly what you meant. Thanks for clarifying. The little zo is making Ethiopian Honey Bread this afternoon. Mmmm. I use Norman A. Garrett's recipe from Quick & Delicious Bread Machine Recipes.

food grade silicone spray
I'm not familiar with your Zoji design, but when I have trouble with my dough hook on my mixer sticking to the post it fits on, I spray food grade silicone (H1) on a tissue and wipe down the post and the inside of the dough hook fitting. It doesn't run, dries very fast, and doesn't gunk up when it gets hot like some oils do.
