Have I ruined my BM by immersing the bread pan in water???

I wash mine by scooping water out of the washing up bowl into it but keeping the very underneath of it dry.

This is what I do too,I'm sure it said in the instruction booklet not to completely immerse it in water.

This thought never occurred to me - I have always put mine in the dishwasher

I feel ever so grubby reading this - I never wash mine out... I just give it a wipe over with a damp cloth to get any bits of flour off and voila! it's like new.

I do the same, I assume any germs will die when they get baked, so far so good

My panasonic instructions say, do not immerse in water. If they would only say why, then we would not take a chance.

I only wash the inside of mine

I have used it today but only to make dough (not bake it as well coz it had a filling too) and it was fine

That's a relief!

Me too and have done ever since I bought my panny in 2003........occasonally take the paddle out and put that in the washing up, but otherwise a damp cloth..................and a quick wipe out.

This is what I do too, but my paddle is always caked with bread so I take that out and soak it or put it in the dishwasher, but not the pan. Only if the paddle is baked on tight do I put enough water in the pan to cover the paddle and let it soak, then just wipe the pan out and put the paddle in the dishwasher.

A friend of mine put the whole pan in the dishwasher but the non-stick surface in the pan was damaged and she could never get her bread out of it after that so had to bin it. Every bm is different I suppose? SG
