Too Much Fun!
OK, it's official... I'm a cooking gadget addict, and these pasta rollers are the perfect fix! It's so much fun to roll out your own fresh and tasty pasta. I found the set to be sturdy, good quality, and extremely easy to use. They are a bit pricey but if you love to cook from scratch and appreciate a good gadget you'll probably find these worth the cost.
Good product
I was worried about not being able to immerse it in water - turns out that this is not a problem at all. Pasta dough is really dry, so dry it seems it won't turn into anything. Hardly any dough stuck to the rollers, and it was really easy to brush off.
I think this is a worthwhile attachment for the KA. It's very well designed, and is easy to use, once you get the hang of it. I was going to go the budget route, and get a manual pasta maker, and I'm SO glad I got this attachment instead. Having the KA do all the hard work allows you to guide this in and get perfect pasta.
not good at all.... from an Italian
I purchased my KA mixer a few weeks ago and I just got now this attachment. I was really looking forward to get it, I'm Italian, living outside my Country, and I always made home made pasta by hand. Well, the mixer worked fine, the flat pasta came out allright after trying a few times, byt spaghetti and fettuccine were a total mess. The spaces are too close and the spaghetti will come out attached one to each other. They are drying right now, but they look more like lasagna than spaghetti.... And I tried to use more and more flour, let it dry first... nothing worked. A real waste of money, I'll take out my old manual machine, way better.Don't waste any money on this!
Kitchenaid Pasta Maker
This unit is one of the best attachments to my old K5A KitchenAid. Definitely worth the high price.
Pasta For Dummies!
I like to cook, thought it would be fun to make pasta at home. Did a little Amazon surfing, came across these attachments, saw that people liked it, thought I'd give it a try: I successfully made pasta the same day the attachments were delivered. It took an attempt to get the dough right (so expect to lose at least one batch), but once I figured out what the dough was supposed to be like, the rest went like magic and was incredibly easy and fast.
