I lost one of the kneading blades for my B2300 Black and Decker breadmaker. Can I use a blade from a different model or do I have to use the same model?

I had the same problem. I find the loaves to be a much better size if I just use program setting 8 - Dough then put the dough in 2 regular bread pans or on cookie sheets (bagetts), let them have a second rising and finish them in the convection oven at 350 F for 21 minutes.

Hi Jessica,

As I read the manual, under the Care & Cleaning section,

"2. If the kneading blades remain in the bread pan, grip the kneading blade and
pull straight up to remove......"

Based on the diagrams and instructions, I don't think you're supposed to pull the blades before baking...why do you want them out? Cosmetics?

If I can be of further assistance, let me know. If this solves the issue, please rate it accordingly.

Thanks in-advance for using Fixya.com,

Rather than pulling out the paddles , pull out the dough and bake it in regular bread pans in your oven.

this is the second rise period. it is ok, and at this time if you like, you can gently move the dough aside, and remove the paddles. Just remember to put a little oil on the exposed stem. This way, you can have bread without the huge holes from the paddles.

Go to e bay. They have a couple of stores that sell nothing but parts for bread machines.

The paddles fit two ways, so what you must do is have them facing opposite ways, then they fight with each other and elongate the loaf
