How easily does the loaf release from the pan? Do you grease the pan?

At first it released easily enough, with the blade sometimes stuck inside the loaf and sometimes stayed in the pan. But I use seeds in my bread and it seems as if the seeds have worn down the inside of the pan on the 2 convex areas. I'm quite disappointed in the quality in that it wore down so quickly. I've had it one year and I use it weekly. I now have to grease the pan as the bread started to stick in those two convex areas. It seems to me that this shouldn't have happened, especially only being a year old.

Releases immediately on all types of bread. I make heavy rye bread and also very dense, seedy wheat breads and do not have a problem with either the finish or the release!

The bread releases pretty easily from the pan. Sometimes some bits of bread stick to the paddle, but that is true with most breadmakers I have used (I have had at least 3 over the last 25 years). I do not grease the pan. It has a non-stick surface, which seems to do the job just fine.

No grease. Just flip the pan over and tap it out. The hard part is trying not to burn yourself and getting the handle out of the way.

yes- it takes about an hour-let it finish, cool down and wipe with a damp sponge or rag. then you're good to go and you don't have to bother with it again. it is no big deal and it makes such a nice loaf of bread. all-in-all a great machine!

Put a little pan spray in it and the bread browns nicely and pops right out when done. It's a good pan and makes a good loaf of bread.

I have not had to grease mine. I love this pan and have used it several time for things other than muffins.

Yes, when the catch is released on the side the bottom comes out, if you just baked a cake, release latch then just lift the pan up, cake remains on the bottom, transfer the cake to something else.

You don't. Remove the baked loaf from the pan after it's cooled, then gently pry them out with a butter knife.

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, its non stick --- after 100's of loaf's kneaded, the only issue is there are a couple of ribs on the sides of the pan and the heavy dough I make with nuts has caused some wear on the ribs. Which isnt an issue.

It does not have an additional nonstick product on it. But I have cooked with it many times without adding any oil or butter to the pan before putting down the dough and had no problems with getting it to release.

I have had absolutely no problems with this bread machine and I bake a loaf every other day since I purchased it. I'm not sure what could be causing the beater to come loose. I did leave the beater in twice but it did not come off in the loaf. I usually remove the beater just before the final rise. I would suggest making sure that the beater is seated correctly, the post it sits on should be level with the top of the beater when inserted.

I have this muffin pan and have been happy with the results. I do use a non- stick spray on the bottom after trying it once without. The muffins release very easily with the spray, I still have to run around the edges with a knife and lift out though. Try it. It is still easy to clean.

I washed the pan before the first use and applied a light coat of oil and put it away. I few days later I was ready to use it for my first loaf. I reapplied a light coat of oil, just as I would prepare any loaf pan and set the dough in it for the final loaf. It rose perfectly and not a bit of sight in sight in the pan or any residue on the bread once cooked. I have many cast iron items. All the others are old unseasoned type. Reapply oil after each use and then enough to cook with when ready for the recipe.

You smooth it as best you can when you are done kneading and shaping the loaf. Mine came out fairly smooth but in my opinion it's kind like wrinkles on a face-- gives it character and individuality. And thi EVERYONE knows it wasn't mass produced. :-)

I have not had this happen. I have learned to really take care of my paddles. Before baking a loaf of bread spray the paddles with a bit of PAM to lube them and lube the hinge. This also make the paddles easier to remove from the pan after baking. When the loaf is baked I remove the blades and soak them and remove any bread residue with a toothpick. I then spray them with a bit of Pam to lube them and work the PAM down in to the hinge. I have not had any problem with the paddles. I really like this machine.

It's not too difficult. I use a bruch to sweep away the excess Flour then a bamboo stick to pick out the dough that stuck to it

Yes, they work beautifully. I have baked pumpkin and other quick breads in mine and the loaves release cleanly. The corrugated surface of the pan leaves a light imprint on the bottom and sides of the loaf. I don't even need to grease the pans, although I sometimes use just a very light rub of cooking oil. It is recommended to not use the aerosol pan sprays such as Pam. Yeast breads bake and do not stick to the pan at all either.
