What Others Say
Solid, quality appliance
Why didn't I buy this sooner??? I did a ton of research before purchasing the Imperia Pasta Machine. I decided on this particular machine because of the large number of positive reviews on this site and others as well as an in-person testing of products at Crate & Barrel and Williams-Sonoma. I have now been using it several times a week for a few months.
This machine is very well built and sturdy. I think that you could run over it with a dump truck and it wouldn't get a scratch on it. It is pretty heavy once the fettuccine attachment is on there, so make sure that it is clamped down tight. You will need a pretty significant lip on your counter for the clamp to fit properly (I'd say about at least 1.5-2 inches). I do not believe ... Read More
Imperia pasta machine good asset,vendor even better
Had my doubts of this Imperia pasta machine, although truly believe that some other vendors of these machines are screwing fellow Amazon buyers,meaning selling confusion as well as the item, possibly some selling only have of a solution to others.
Pleased very much with quality of Imperia pasta machine, and more satisfied with prompt delivery of product.
I suggest vendor list any other accessories for this brandname line so confidence stays with customer.But,heed advice and ensure price remains fair and others shall follow.
Great pasta machine!
I learned to make pasta in Italy using the Imperia. It's a great machine and extremely easy to use. My first two efforts at home turned out perfectly. Just be sure to have your dough the right consistency. I use about 1 1/4c unbleached flour, 2 eggs and a pinch of salt. I live in an extremely dry climate so if yours is more humid you may need to add more flour. Highly recommend the Imperia.
love it!
i just got my imperia pasta maker today and had my dough ready when the ups man brought it to my door i was so excited to try it! it didn't let me down!! i have made pasta by hand in the past so it was like coming out of the middle ages, it was quick, easy and had no problem handling my 1/2 wheat noodle dough. my boys got in the action and by the time we came up for air we had over 6 batches of fettucine made! great great little machine.
Foolproof!
I love this machine! I think people who have trouble with it are using a far too complicated recipe. A no-fail pasta dough for this machine is 1 1/4 c. all purpose flour, two eggs and a pinch of salt. Pulse in the food processor until the mixture looks like coarse corn meal, turn it out on the counter and mush it around until you have a smooth ball. This takes less than a minute. Divide the dough into two or three parts, cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 min. before making pasta. This makes four servings and will never, ever let you down. I've made the basic recipe, and added stuff to the dough like lemon zest and black pepper (1 T total) and it worked just fine. Cleanup is a breeze--there is almost no flour on the counter, and the ... Read More
