No, but I haven't tried. I just make bread with paddles in it. 😝

Have you contacted the manufacturer?

@ElsieD. I did call Zojirushi, but it was some time ago. It wasn't a satisfactory exchange. I could ship the whole machine to them for repair/replacement of parts. Seems expensive AND I would be without a bread machine for a while. Haven't felt sufficiently motivated.

That's sad.  I thought they were better than that.

For what it's worth, I had a Zo breadmaker from the 20th century that had the same problem, cemented in paddle.   I just gave up and lived with it.   Eventually the motor started squealing (10+ years old) and I retired the thing.

 

I remember @andiesenji said she would remove the paddle after the kneading process and before the rise/bake process to eliminate the paddle getting cooked in on her unit.

 

Gravity  may work.

I always take it out of my Breadman before baking, too. I never thought about the paddle getting stuck on, I just don't like a big hole in the bottom of the loaf.

Anyone have any comments or experience with the Breville Custom Loaf Bread Maker

I know that every test site (including ATK) recommends the Zo.

I have my own and it is the best.  

The Breville had a couple of flaws, the collapsible paddle didn't always work and the bred pan was difficult to remove.

Get the Zo!
