The table is level btw

>>19957235
you are placing it next to something. Does that produce heat?

>>19957235
Its warmer on the side that gets taller

>>19957235
Heating element issue? Also what would it look like if you placed 2 side by side?

>>19957235
because you didnt measure in grams >>>19957241
think about it stupid, why do you think? if you cant figure this one out put down the rapid-rise yeast man

>>19957235
heat issue

>>19957235
the right side tends to rise more over time

>>19957235
The Earth is tilted, yo.

>>19957246
It's not next to anything warm
>>19957251
>>19957253
>>19957276
You guys think my bread machine is messed up? It has one heating element which wraps around the entire loaf pan
>>19957275
I use a scale and weigh all the ingredients in grams, I am following the Japanese manual which gives the ingredients in grams

>>19957294
You can check to see if the gasket on the lower side has a leak, allowing heat to escape on that side more than the other side, causing the temp imbalance.

A look inside: I guess it's feasible that the side next to the panel would be more insulated from the cold air in my house. But that's kind of lame if the bread machine just does this by design. This was an expensive top of the line Zojirushi (I got it at a garage sale for 5 bucks though)

It's the paddles.

>>19957313
What about them? Can you say more?
>>19957302
Nothing visible, the thing is in perfect condition all the way around

the heat of the oven cooks the bread

>>19957323
They don't shape the loaf. If a loaf that isn't perfectly shaped bothers you then you have to even it out before the rise+bake cycles.

>>19957356
Then why would it always be bigger on the right side?

>>19957235
Perhaps the heating element in the left side is busted?

>>19957310
Here's a visual reference I made for you using symbols and terminology you can relate to

>>19957358
JUST

>>19957384
Jesus anon. How long did this take?

>>19957358
i came on at the exact perfect time. witnessed and saved.

>>19957358
>dough is on one side of pan thus rising unevenly
>but it's on the right though

This is some "but I did have breakfast" tier shit.

>>19957407
correct answer pictured. wrong answer highlighted.

>>19957294
It's probably "in spec", but I doubt the manufacturer made a perfectly uniform heating element.

>>19957455
Wrong, the other poster is saying the exact same thing, just the opposite way, instead of fluffing the flour to add some air weight, they're adding more water/flour depending on what they need.

Its the same result, you need to adjust your ratio of water/flour.

The easiest method is to just fluff the flour as I highlighted, and it's also the answer that marked the thread as "solved". So clearly the OP agreed.

>>19957358
Damn, the rolls aren't what they used to be, eh bud?

>>19957384
based autist

>>19957514
op wieghs his ingredients

>>19957663
Yes, he needs to fluff his flour and weigh again after fluffing

>>19957384
Thanks man, this is bussin'!

>>19957688
bredboi aint slappin tho frfr

>>19957358
kek

>>19957514
OP here, I don't think ingredient ratios can explain it because it's always bigger on the right side. I've made like 6 bread using this machine and so far it's exactly the same every time. The table is level and the pan is symmetrical. I think the breadjak guy probably has it right.

>>19957676
thats not how weight works.
the correct answer is manually forming the loaf before the final rise

>>19957707
>using a bread machine
anon, wtf are you doing. do you have a fucking rice cooker too?
I make bread all the fucking time its easy as all shit why waste your time with a fucking machine that can never do what your tiny little hands are capable of? holy fuck.
>picrel
aking bread bowls right now

>>19957235
It's the earth's rotation, you want to place it perpendicular

>>19957384
I'm saving this

>>19957240
>The table is level btw
no it's clearly not.

Heat from other appliances, or the left side gets a draft from your window

>>19957235
perhaps the yeast formd a society with a caste system.

>>19957240
you call that level? the run out would be insane, i know a guy like this who welded a set of stairs that was so funny he didn't even get fired because we were all to busy gasping for air laughing so hard.

anyways it rises uneven because the heating element probably plugs in on the right and gets hotter sooner

>>19957707
Stop thinking, you're bad at it

>>19957725
>wtf are you doing. do you have a fucking rice cooker too?
see >>19957358 and look in the background.

>>19957857
i assumed correctly then. i assumed someone who cant figure out the 4 ingredients of bread would have a tough time with the 3-4 ingredients of boiled rice. still got it!
>picrel
5 boules, 1 piece of shit
>>19957829
>Stop thinking, you're bad at it
right, he needs to know this without doubt.
>>19957759
you dont have much do you?
>>19957708
yeah its almost like theres some weird stages or something

>>19957911
Not even going to address the idea that anyone who uses tools to save time must not know how to do it the hard way. The most hilarious part of your poorfag post is that after you wrote all that cope, you proudly attached an image where you fucked up 1/6 loaves

>>19957240
Do you understand what the two lines either side of the bubble are for?

>>19957725
based. Oven is looking nice and clean, too. Well done.
>t. fellow bread maker

>>19957762
>>19957774
>>19958026
Yes, I know how a level works. The bubble shows that the table is leaning slightly to the left, so if anything, that would be sending the loaf more to the left side of the pan. That is proof that the table is "level enough" for this application, and the table levelness isn't the issue. I didn't feel like typing all this out earlier.

>>19957358
Bro, I have some bad news. Your bread has cancer.

>>19957240
>The table is level btw
In the picture, it is slightly off, but is the machine itsell level?? I assume it has airspace under it and 4 feet, right? I would assume the machine is broken and has uneven heating elements, and/OR you could shove a wedge under one side of the machine to tilt it a bit and report back about the results.

>>19958026
>Levels the studs he puts up on the construction site then gleefully screams DEAD-NUTS! HA!
He's not building a hotel you fucking sperg. It's level enough.

>>19957384
High quality oc shitposting. Thank you anon love u anon

>>19957725
Dude just say you've never used a bread machine. Kneading dough takes forever and is tiring, and makes a huge mess of the kitchen. You have to get a bunch of shit dirty, flour all over the counter, and then you have to babysit the bread while it rises, in the winter it's too cold so I have to set it on the radiator and turn it regularly, then take it out and touch it again and get your counter sticky again, let it rest again, you're using this oil so it doesn't stick to the bowl. Then you have to manually transfer it to the oven and babysit it until it's finished. The whole thing is like 30-60 minutes of active work and 30-60 minutes of mindful watching in a 3-8 hour timeframe, and half the time it doesn't even work right because there are so many variables. With the bread machine it's so much easier, you just dump all the ingredients into the pan and set the timer before you go to bed and you wake up with hot bread waiting for you. 10 minutes of active work and 0 minutes of monitoring, and no cleanup whatsoever. And it comes out perfect every time, and it even uses less energy than the oven.

>>19957358

>>19958041
well then read the second part
>anyways it rises uneven because the heating element probably plugs in on the right and gets hotter sooner

>>19957235
it's normal to be a bit lopsided

>>19957235
Can you rotate the bread pan half way through cooking and rising?

>>19958085
>t. cope, the post
not even reading this beyond the second sentence,
>Kneading dough takes forever and is tiring
dough hook-- your first clue, start from there.
>>19958032
based bread baker. bread is life. in order to know bread you mus first fuck up the bread.
>>19958067
thanks anon, i dont know you but i would imagine that i would fancy your company in some form or fashion,
>>19958021
>you fucked up 1/6 loaves
cooklet detected. just because its not perfect doesnt mean it should be thrown out, if your parents thought like you do you wouldnt be alive.

>>19957384
Kek, I love this place

>>19958139
>dough hook
Ok, so you're using an appliance to automate the breadmaking process too. You're not allowed to talk shit about "working with your hands" if you use a mixer to do the hard part. At that point why not just get a bread machine, it takes up less space and does more for you.

>>19958187
>kitchenaid
lets all assume we have a mixer to mix—blender, hand mixer, food processor, etc, youre conflating general appliance with single-purpose appliance. a mixer != bread machine. however as wonderful as the kitchenaid is it doesnt shape the dough, or roll, or punch or know if its dry, overhydrated, etc, those are done by your manos amigos. bread machine is for faggots, simple as. hang your head in shame if you own one.
try making these in a bread machine
>>19958116
thats what women say about their tits but we know better

>>19957235
The heat from the right hand side of the bread machine raises the dough.

>>19957294
what is that black honeywell thing

>>19958165
>>19957358
>>19957384

>>19958232
The bread machine has a setting to make dough without cooking it, with or without an initial rise, so you can take the dough out and cook it in the oven if you want a round loaf like you showed, or spaghetti or bagels. That alone makes it less of a unitasker than a mixer. It also makes jam so that owns you double.
>>19958277
Dehydrator. I don't make jerky by fanning it with a paper fan for 16 hours unlike how some people would have it.

>>19958187
I knead by hand for 8 mins usually, is this considered typical or a small amount? It doesn't seem like much effort.

>>19957235
My family ate bread machine bread my entire childhood and it sucked. Sure it was amazing hot with some peanut butter, but after it cooled off it was disappointment, and that's exactly what I had for lunch every day.

>>19957235

>>19958085
>Kneading dough takes forever and is tiring, and makes a huge mess of the kitchen

knead dough in a mixing bowl with left hand and do the finish kneading on an oversized baking tray. doesn't take long and doesn't make a mess.

>>19957358

>>19957358
Could slide a hotwheels car down that

>>19958330
>it makes jam
so do i, and you gotta can it, so what do you do with your sugar fruit pectin mix? bake it into a loaf? eat shit hipster douche.

>>19957384
check the news tomorrow for zojirushi execs committing santoku

>>19957310
just plug it into a different electrical outlet, away from a window. it doesn't need to be in the kitchen.

>>19958041
>Yes, I know how a level works. The bubble shows that the table is leaning slightly to the left
you've embarassed yourself and you don't know how to read a spirit level. please try again.

>>19957384
shit like this is why I'm here for ever

Toasting in epik bread

>>19957384
Yep. This gem is ending up on the 'ru.

>>19957235
maybe you should stop jerking off with your right arm

>>19960223
the left is only for birthdays and Christmas

>>19957240
>table is level
I'm not even autistic about exact level, shits more slanted than a chink

>>19957294
I would remove the Homewell and bake another loaf. It's been forever since I've used a bread machine but it's possible the bread is rising more on that side because the equipment right next to it is helping insulate that side better while proofing.

>>19961234
Yeah I'm gonna try just turning the machine 360 degrees next time, I still didn't finish the first loaf but hopefully I can get another one going tomorrow
