I have a t101 and the counter needs adjustment. It rotates alitte past the counter each time and it leaves the plunger down. Anyone know how to adjust this?
just curious, is that home made dough or pre mixed? I've been trying out the WhiteWings pre mix and bothe the smaller sizes end up puffing up into balls by the end....... Definitely in need of some advice
I know this was posted a year ago but i figured I'd answer you all the same. If they are coming out like puff balls your batter is too watery. If they come out looking like onion rings then it is too thick. PLay with your mix to find a good match for your machine.
Check your temperatures, if the dough or batter is too hot or too cold it will do that. dont add more or less water, follow whitewings instructions, you can email them and ask for tips too btw
I sent this to my supplier: Hi, just wanted you to know that I've found the problem and fixed it. In shipping the relays inside the housing came loose. One was completely out, the other two were partially disconnected. After pushing them all back in and re-seating the missing one, all functions work great and I've made a nice batch of test donuts already. I'd suggest you tell your supplier to use a shipping glue that isn't brittle - the shipping glue they used would never hold anything much in place. I suggest using silicon glue, or something of that sort.
@@azzorzer You're absolutely right. In fact, even though it does a creditable job of making donuts, it's not particularly automatic. But it's working very well for a machine of it's type. Which is a cheap knockoff of an oversized Lil Orbits machine. Personally, about three weeks after this video, I sold this machine and bought a Belshaw Mark I, which is a great machine. Unlike the cheap Chinese one, it is completely automatic and I can ice or decorate or dip donuts while it's running and never have to worry about it. However, I got mine used for cheap and it still cost nearly three times as much as the Chinese one.
Max Jensen just buy the commercial mix, it usually has instructions on the bag or via.a.phonecall to supplier. most important thing is batter temperature.
What do you plug it up to I plug mine up to the house and my house fuse went out and the Extension chord was hot I stay in the USA do yo recommend I get a generator my house is old
Most of these machines are 220V. The average household outlet is 110V. Usually 220V outlets have a unique plug. Check with an electrician before using this machine again- it could cause major problems.
Not sure if you fix this problem but I have a lil orbits machine and came with a 20amp plug. So I had my cousin who is an electrician come in and swap out my regular outlets to one that has 20amp outlet and also rigged up a 12gauge extension cord with a 20 amp female plug end but still has the regular male end so you can plug it into basically any wall outlet.
Had the same problem. The problem is you need to have a 220v plug installed for the machine or do what I did. I replaced the element from a 3000w element to a 1500w element. The new element only has a 12.5 amp draw and It only takes about 15 min longer to heat up but I can plug it into any 120v socket.
@@westcoastsasquatch7578 I found a place online in Toronto. I made up a dwg with dimensions and had it custom made. Granted they where a little out of tolerance but a minor adjustment and now it works fine on any 120v plug. I can try and find the email address if you like.
I am curious if you tried frying yeast raised donut. Were you able to use the machine?You need to buy donut mix, eggs, and oil. Here is the recipe. Not my recipe, so I can't explain much more. Special doughnut flour Donut mix 1000g Egg 300g Water 400g Oil 140g Making steps: 1. Putting all material above into the Mixer. 2. Have them mixed by Mixer at low speed for 3 minutes, then at high speed for 5 minutes. 3. Take and pour the mix material from step2 into the Funnel of donut machine. 4. After these, just operate the donut machine according to the user manual. *If you have any question for the powder you mix to shape the donut by machine, consult your baker, never make the mix too watery or too sticky. Best Oil Level 25L
been trying for months to find a good doughnut mix for this machine but can't find one. you can buy the machine but can't get to know the best mix for it.
@@wanderings605 will that mix work for mini donuts too? I've also heard lil orbits is a good mix. The machines seem to work a lot better too (and more expensive).
@@L.J.01 - Hiya! Not sure about any donut mix but ADM. I've heard different things about their mix, but without personal experience, I'll leave it alone. :-) These donut machines in the video above are basically larger clone versions of the Lil Orbits machines, and have the same basic drawbacks - mainly that you have to watch them a lot to make sure they continue to create the correct donuts - they tend to need a lot of handwork to keep them consistent. I tried making Mini Donuts with this machine and found that the oil tank is actually too wide! There is so much space that the mini donuts wander around in the area and it becomes very difficult to tell which ones are done and to what degree. I'd been experimenting with some sort of divider or narrowing device that would make it more possible to make mini-donuts. As it is, even though they ship the mini-size cutter with the machine, I was not able to get a satisfactory quantity out of the machine for anything but the medium donut. And then I bit the bullet and bought a Belshaw, which DOES run perfectly fine with no operator intervention, so I can concentrate on icing, sugaring and the like without having to constantly watch over the making process. Buy a used Belshaw MarkII and you'll never look back. Expensive, but worth it. In my opinion, of course.
