Using a Kitchen Aid Standmixer to make bread... having problems, need advice!
Forums:
Hi,
I'm trying to use my kitchen aid standmixer to kneed my dough.. however, it seems that no mater what I do the dough always primarilly sticks to the side and bottom of the bowl and only a small portion actually gets kneeded. Usually at this point, I take the dough out of the bowl and kneed it by hand; however, this is time consuming. I'd much prefer to leave it in the stand mixer to finish kneeding. Is there something I can do to stop this? is it normal? do I just add small amounts of more flour?

room around a baking stone
Forums:
I am considering buying a baking stone & would like to know if I get one "cut to fit" how much room (if any) do I leave for air flow around the stone? the racks would hold a 24"x14" stone if I filled them entirely, but that would leave virtually no space. Just a small amount in the back where the rack slants up. Can I maximize this & use it all or is there a minimum amount of room I need to leave around the stone?

Metal Vs. Plastic Mixer Bowl
Forums:
I am getting the Bosch Universal Mixer. It comes with a plastic bowl. However, there is a metal bowl replacement accessory for $140. Why would I want to switch the plastic bowl for a metal one? Would that improve the bread or dough some how?
Thanks.

LG-Stove Temperature Range
Forums:
Hello,
I am trying to find the oven temperature range for two LG gas ovens.
Model #LRG3097 and Model #LRG3095
I have tried the LG homesite (manual omits this detail), the information at various appliance vendors (also omit this detail) and I even called an appliance store that said they would have to plug it in to get that information and offered me a price break since they didn't have it. ;-)
Both models are on sale and I would really like to get one with a proofing temperature if possible (it may not be).
Appreciate any help, guesses or surmises!

Nesco Convection Roaster
Forums:
I've been experimenting with using an electric roaster to bake a loaf of bread at a time during the summer. The roaster I was using was a small, 6 quart roaster but it was big enough to do one loaf of bread. During the last 15 minutes I removed the loaf from the pan and turned it on it's side to brown the top and bottom of the loaf since the heating element is around the edges of the roaster rather than on the bottom.

Dual Fuel Range
Forums:
While I really want a brick or clay oven (and a large enough piece of property to hold it), it looks like I have an opportunity to replace my Amana gas oven. I used a thermocouple thermometer to measure its temp, and it swings so wildly I am surprised that the bread I've made has turned out as well as it has.
