This bread machine walked...

no, not into a bar, but off the counter last night, taking the dish
drainer with it, along with the dishes and glassware. Not a fun thing
to wake up to, and DH blamed the cat. I've lifted that thing, and no
way the cat could have done it.

If not the cat, then perhaps the machine, unbalanced, moving itself
during its mixing cycle. If not the machine, then it must have been a
poltergeist phenomenon. Is there a pre-pubescent female in the house?

Will try to make the rye bread this afternoon, so it is done before
bedtime.

My machine will shake and shudder during the kneading and mixing. Was the
counter damp, wet? How are the rubber feet on the bottom of the machine?

Also might also want to check that the counter is leveled correctly...
in fact kitchen counters are supposed to slope back ever so slightly so
liquids don't run off onto the floor.

<G> ehm........
mine does this about once a week....glad to know that I am not the only
one.

My solution...I have one of those "big" cast iron skillets with the
grill thingys across the bottom; weights about 8-10 lbs...sitting that
in front seems to keep it in place...however..the noise of the rotation
is 3 times as loud...

still that wonderful smell permeating the house when you wake up along
with that other great invention called the electric coffee maker....

Timing them to be ready at the same time takes an Act of the All
Mighty...but gee what a GIFT..! ! !

Can you put the bread machine in the sink to keep it from moving around too
much?

Only a most asinine despicable ignoranus would advise folks to use an
electrical appliance in a sink.

Yeah, I agree it's been kinda boring around here, but this is not a
particularly good fight for you to be picking. A sink can be perfectly
dry, after all. -aem

Maybe wet counter. I've got the same recipe in there this evening,
and it's been smooth as silk, no going for a stroll or anything.

We do have an almost-14 year old in the house, but she was pretty
mellow last night. Unless the poltergeist knew there would be a
battle tonight....

What amazed me was that when I plugged it in, it actually worked.
Outside of a medium-sized dent in the outer casing, the thing is fine.
I thought for sure it would have shattered some vital component.

Thanks all,

Counter may have been wet. But tonight the same recipe kneaded smooth
as silk. If I scootch the microwave over, I'll have a surface with
edges that'll keep it from walking, or being pushed by cats or
poltergeists<G>.

Nah. This crew is constantly using it. It's behaving itself tonight,
so maybe I just shouldn't use the timer feature. Altho it is lovely
to come into a kitchen smelling of fresh-baked breads.

What's the matter? Don't you know how to turn the tap off? If you were
REALLY worried about it, don't you know how to turn the water off upstream
of the tap?

Well, no, I guess you don't. Doesn't surprise me; you've paraded your
ignorance and stupidity here often enough.

As I am soon to buy a bread machine, which one do you have? Would you buy this one again?

Not if the cat accidentally turns on the water :-)
