Why does my Kitchenaid paddle leave grey dust in my food?!?

Question

My paddle attachment on my kitchenaid mixer leaves grey residue in batters. Sometimes it will stop for a while. Other times I can actually rub off a grey residue. What's up with that?

Answer 1

Is it a new mixer? Does the KitchenAid sound like it's laboring hard when mixing a thin batter? It could be graphite, which is a lubricant to keep the machine cool.

Answer 2

It must be a defect.  Contact the company and tell them the problem and they likely will send you a new one free of charge.  In the meantime I wouldn't use the paddle attachment.

Answer 3

It souds like it needs a d**n good scrubbing.

It may be getting dusty in storage so wipe it before using.

Answer 4

Are you sure its coming off of the paddle and not out of the motor some out. I would call customer service, doesnt sound safe to use.

Answer 5

i would contact the company
