Here’s a easy way to clean your Panasonic bread maker keeping it in tip top condition and ready to use again and again..

First thing you’ll need to do is remove stuck on bread. No matter how nonstick your bread maker pan may be, there always seems to be a bit of bread that sticks to the pan and paddle. Luckily, it comes off easily. You can do this before you even attempt to wash the pan.

Then the next job is to remove the paddle. It is essential to remove the paddle before washing the pan. If you fail to do this, you could miss some of the dough that got stuck under the paddle. This will also make it easier to wash the pan. Bread maker pans are almost always nonstick. This means that you’ll be able to easily wash the pan with soapy water. A soft sponge and dish washing liquid are the only cleaning supplies you need to wash the pan.

After removing the paddle and cleaning the pan the next job is the actual paddle itself, You’ll find that the paddle is the hardest piece to clean. You need to use a dish washing rag to get up into the center of the paddle. Do not skip this step. It is easy for dough to get inside the paddle and it must be washed out. The outside of the paddle is easy to clean because it’s usually coated with a nonstick coating. Dry the pan and paddle. It’s important to hand dry the pan and paddle. This ensures that the pieces don’t rust. As soon as they are dry, you can slip them back into the bread maker.

Then all that’s left is to wipe down the machine. The outside of the machine can simply be wiped down with a damp rag. And thatch it your bread maker is perfectly clean and ready to bake its next loaf !
