Why is the crust too thick on bread from my West Bend Bread Maker?
If the crust is too thick on bread from your West Bend Bread Maker, the bread may have baked too long. Use a lighter crust color setting the next time to shorten the bake time.
Why bread from my West Bend Bread Maker doesn’t slice well and is very sticky?
If bread from your West Bend Bread Maker doesn’t slice well and is very sticky, it may have been sliced while too hot or you are not using the proper knife. Allow bread to cool on a rack for at least 15 to 30 minutes before slicing to release steam. Use a good bread knife or electric knife.
What to do if bread sticks to pan in my West Bend Bread Maker?
If bread sticks to the pan and is difficult to shake out of your West Bend Bread Maker, this can happen over prolonged use. Wipe the inside of the bread pan, from the ribs down, lightly with vegetable oil or solid shortening. Alternatively, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the liquid in the pan before adding dry ingredients. Do not use a vegetable spray as sticking can worsen. You can also let the bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes before shaking it out.
