Vibrating machine

[grandma]

Boy, I was quite shocked to see how much the machine vibrated (well it actually moved right along the bench top!!) while kneading the bread dough.  Not really complaining, but just a bit 'or moy gord' type of feeling!!

They warn you about that and suggest you don't leave it alone whilst kneading bread grandma.  Now you can see why   I have had my DH sit and watch mine if I want to duck off for a couple of minutes.

Really?  Were the feet and counter clean?  If they have flour on them, or are wet, it will jump around, but I make sure mine are nice and clean and it doesn't move much at all.  If anything, it just backs up a little.  I do a double batch of bread in one go, and it doesn't seem to hop around around too much.  But if you're worried, just put your hand on it to steady it while it's mixing.

As the dough forms into a ball during the kneading process it can unbalance the tmx. It varies each time for me as to how much it moves. Always safer to stay with it for kneading - and thats only 2-3 mins so shouldn't be an issue.

Ok, will make sure never to leave it when kneading - but also good to know that I can make two batches at one time - so thanks for that quirkycooking.

Hi!

That is so important: never leave it alone while kneading! If I do anything in the kitchen while kneading bread, I put a large plastic bowl in front of it. If the TM should move too much, the bowl will fall down first. That gives me time to react. But still I watch closely.

Here's my recipe for a double batch - I use spelt, but you could change it to wheat if you like, just use a little more water.

What a great idea Susanne

Good idea indeed - but mine is on an island bench, so bowls all round.

Another vibrating machine thing- it will vibrate and make a funny noise sometimes if you have the basket in the bowl and it's not clicked right into position.

And another...

When you don't put the butterfly in well enough when doing mashed potato the EDC way (1kg cubes + 1 cup milk using butterfly 100 degrees speed 1) and it works its way up!

You then have to tip everything out to get the butterfly back in again.

Another one:

funny noise when you store the MC in the pot, forget about it and try to make Ice Cream... .

(It only has a few more scratches now)

Another reason why I like the 5 seed bread recipe.. the TMX doesn't try to "walk off"!

Think a few MCs have suffered like this !!

I sit mine on the lid (not in the hole) and when I go to DD's place, if hers is in place, I take it out and put it where I think it should be so that the bowl can air.  I do the same with people's toilet rolls if they are put on incorrectly - do I have a problem
