I didn’t have broken dough hook off an 80 qt mixer on my bingo card.

    I believe it’s pronounced d’oh! hook in this case

    I spent more than a decade in and out of pizza places…

    My first thought is ‘how the fuck?!’

    My second was how many times I was showing someone new how to use the Hobart, and warning them to never stick their hand in to feel the dough no matter how quick they thought they could be.

    They always had to learn the hard way though.

    Worked at Village Inn for a bit and they had one with a cracked bowl. FYI the only thing I miss about that job was the pie.

    I’ve seen one of these fuckers snap a new guys arm like a twig after he dropped his phone in the bowl and instinctively reached for it. I will never forget that sound.

    Perfect supplies to rescue a korok after a bit of crafting

    Were you mixing cement?? RIP captain Hook

    I always thought “Hobart” was way too whimsical of a name for a machine that could rip my arm clean off and skin me alive without ever slowing down

    The only time I’ve heard of this happening was when they screwed up the water measurement and made glue instead of dough, hahaha.

  9. I’ve broken an 80qt Hobart twice in the last week but now i’ve seen everything

    dang! did it have a crack or did the bowl pop off?

    I was told by the Hobart guy those hooks are like $400. He also said don’t get a new one, look for the old ones unless you wanna size up beyond your intended use.

    I just wanna know how to he honest. I’m genuinely impressed OP

    I’ve seen one of these break a kids arm. I am seriously wondering how you sheared it off.

    What was the product? Or did it get dropped?

    Bagel dough? High-protein flour gets super stiff and can break dough hooks.

    As an aside I find it MUCH harder to find parts for older (20+ years) mixer gearboxes. We have to rebuild ours about every 15 years.

    That sucks. One of my Dishwashers broke a paddle attachment for a 60qt in half when she dropped it at just the right (wrong) angle. That’s when I learned why the stainless ones are so much more ridiculously expensive than the aluminum ones.
