Tips for Perfect Pasta

• Good pasta dough is firm and leathery to touch, but also pliable.

It should never stick to your fingers or crumble and fall apart. Many factors, such as humidity, brand of flour used, and size of eggs, may affect dough consistency. To test for correct dough consistency, pinch a small amount of dough together after mixing with the flat beater. If the dough stays together without sticking to your fingers, it should work well. It may be necessary to add a small amount of flour or water to reach correct dough consistency.

• Pastas can be either dried or frozen for future use. To dry, lay strands of pasta in a single layer on a towel or drying rack, and completely air dry. Store dried pasta in an airtight container. To freeze, let pasta airdry for one hour before freezing in an airtight container. It is not necessary to separate strands of pasta before freezing, just dust with flour and form into “nests.”

NOTE:

After you finish using your

Pasta Sheet Roller, replace hub cover and tighten attachment knob.

Care and Cleaning

To clean Pasta Sheet Roller attachment, let parts air dry for one hour and then remove any dried dough using any cleaning brush. If dried dough cannot be removed, try hand-tapping the attachment. A toothpick can be used if necessary. Never use a knife or other sharp object to remove excess dough. Polish with a soft, dry cloth and store attachment pieces in a dry place at room temperature.

NOTE: Never wash or immerse attachment in water or other liquid.

Never wash in dishwasher.

NOTE: Do not run a dishtowel or any other cloth through the rollers to clean them. Do not insert objects such as knives, screwdrivers, etc., to clean the unit.

Maintenance

Clean properly after use as described above. We recommend using a light mineral oil to lubricate the gears periodically. Add a drop of mineral oil to each of the far corners of the rollers and/or cutters to lubricate the gears (4 locations). This can be done annually or after 50 uses.
