Brand Of Stand Mixer Yielding Successful gluten-free Reults

Dough climbs up my beaters of my stand mixer before I can turn off the machine, climbing up beaters & into machine air intakes (on my Sunbeam Mixmaster from 1986) in 1.3 nanosecond when I'm beating/mixing gluten-free breads. I can't complete any gluten-free recipes with this machine before it's all up the beaters in 1 huge blob. Within a few seconds this glombing begins when the recipe calls for 2 or 3 minutes of mixing. Can anyone tell me the brand and model of a mixer they use for making gluten-free breads, with success so Santa knows to bring this to my home for Christmas? Or what might be an alternative way to beat these bread doughs? I follow recipe instructions carefully. I use an egg substitute product when egg are included. After laboriously mixing by hand, I: use silicone pans, per the manu. instructions, I lower the temp by 25 degrees and add 15 minutes baking time. Is there something I am missing?

I'm not new to baking but several different gluten-free recipes &/or packages of mix do the same climbing thing in the bowl at this stage. Yeast or not, it seems I'm not strong enough to quickly beat the dough by hand for 2, 3 minutes. Doing the same methods, I didn't have this problem when I baked with wheat flours. So I know the gluten-free acts differently, just not why. AARRGGHH!

Any suggestions are more than welcome! I'm gluten-free for 1 year with excellent results. My gluten test blood work is 3 today when my diagnosis 13 months ago was >100. It's marvelous when we are in control of Celiac, isn't it? We all help each other so much. Thank you, anyone responding! Happy Holidays!

I just spray my beaters with non-stick spray and that really helps..Its such a pain when it all globs up like that!

I have a Kitchen Aid...... haven't had that happen. It does happen with my hand kitchen -aid mixer for five power levels though. I just think the reason it happens with it is tomuch dough for it to handle. Happens when I double or triple some recipes.

If your Sunbeam has dough hooks you could try that. The other technique I've used is to hold a spatula against the top of the beaters to prevent the climbing dough.

I don't know if you are using a dough hook, but I have read that you shouldn't use them with gluten-free breads. I just use the regular paddle beater for all my cooking.

I second the paddle beater...I have never used the dough hook for making bread!

Hi

I third the paddle vote! I had the kitchenaide plus for about 10 years and never had a problem but Santa came to my house early this year and brought me the KitchenAide Pro-600 with 6 Qt. capacity. Ohhhhhh a thing of total beauty. And get this usually $399 . . . I got it at Amazon for $259 then a $50 rebate so final price of $209 plus free shipping. Oh, heaven!! :rolleyes:

I easily did 2 loaves of bread in it today and am thinking about seeing if it will take 3. I'm in love! Gosh it takes so little to make me happy sometimes!

I've used Pamela's mix and the gluten-free pantry mix. I've made both with and without the dough hook. I can't tell a difference in the outcome but witht he hooks you don't have the climbing problem. I think the issue is that you don't need dough hooks because you don't knead the dough, not that you shouldn't use them.

The dough climbs up my hand held mixer and my older Sunbeam stand mixer also. Holding a spatula at the top of the beaters does help somewhat. The next time I make bread, I'll use the regular beaters for the wet ingredients, then switch to dough hooks for the dry ingredients and see how that works. I'm not in the market for another stand mixer at present....my older Sunbeam was found in a thrift store for $18 and it included dough hooks and 2 bowls! After I become more experienced at this gluten free bread baking, then I'm thinking of the Kitchen Aid stand mixer also. No one seems to have anything negative to say about the brand.

Hi, I had the same problem with my circa 1983 Mix master. I only use if for cake batter and gluten free pizza dough now. Even though most recipes state not to use the dough hooks, I find that is the only way my mixer can stand up to the gluten-free doughs.

My solution was to purchase a bread machine (Cuisinart) to handle the kneading of the bread doughs. Works like a charm.

Best of luck!

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
