great for 100% whole wheat pasta
This machine was recommended for pasta with freshly milled whole grain. Does an excellent job with 1/2 kamut and 1/2 soft white. I use eggs instead of water, and follow the measurements exactly. I'm sure that it would do a great job with white flour.
Works just like it says it will
I checked out several brands before deciding on this one. I followed the directions exactly, and the pasta came out perfect. it makes up to 3 pounds of pasta each time.That's a lot of pasta. But, you can freeze the leftover that you don't need right now. the noodles are not sticky and they cook fast. the fettucine cooked in 3 minutes after water boiled. I have no regrets.
First time success!
I got this machine from my husband for my birthday and tried it last evening for the first time. I followed the directions exactly for one pound of the white flour pasta, weighing, not measuring the flour. This is an important distinction because a cup of flour can vary in weight by several ounces. I think the instructions are good, though they don't exactly tell you what consistency of dough you are seeking to achieve. I would describe it as dough that holds together but isn't wet or sticky. I had perfect pasta extruding from the machine after twenty minutes and two adjustments for more liquid.
One pound makes alot of pasta, more than enough for a main course dinner with enough leftover to freeze. We really enjoyed it. I will make another kind of pasta, perhaps semolina, soon.
