Sturdy aluminum construction: Made from durable aluminum that resists wear and keeps its shape and performance over repeated use. Built to withstand regular kneading without degrading, so your bread machine continues to work reliably. Nonstick coating for easier mixing and cleanup: The nonstick surface prevents dough from clinging to the paddle, reducing wasted dough and cutting cleanup time. Less scraping and soaking after baking means more time enjoying fresh bread. Designed for compatible bread machines: Specifically made to fit models SD255, SD256, SD257, SD2511, and SD2501. Intended as a direct replacement or spare kneading blade to restore or improve your machine's mixing performance. Even, effective mixing: Engineered to distribute ingredients uniformly so dough develops consistent texture and structure. Helps reduce uneven pockets or dense spots for better rise and more consistent results. Key benefits — why you need it Maintains machine performance: Replacing a worn or sticky paddle restores efficient kneading and extends the usable life of your bread maker. Saves time and effort: The nonstick surface and robust build reduce sticking and minimize cleanup, so baking is simpler and faster. Improves bake quality: Consistent kneading promotes proper gluten development and even ingredient distribution, producing bettertextured loaves. Practical use scenarios Weekly sandwich loaves: a worn paddle to ensure reliable, even kneading every week for consistent sandwichstyle bread. Pizza and dinner rolls: Use for sticky, hydration doughs where nonstick performance prevents buildup and maintains proper mixing. Enriched or seeded doughs: Works well when mixing doughs with additions (eggs, butter, seeds) that can otherwise stick to and wear down a paddle. What to expect Durable, longlasting performance from aluminum construction Easier mixing and less cleanup thanks to nonstick coating Compatibility with SD255, SD256, SD257, SD2511, SD2501 models for straightforward replacement Note: This kneading blade is intended for use with the listed bread machine models and serves as a functional replacement part to restore or enhance kneading performance.
