KitchenAid PASTA SHAPE PRESS WITH 6 PLATES

Slow, and if you use it for long, the machine will overheat. But there is nothing like fresh pasta.

Aparato perfecto para hacer distintas pastas, para el que le gusta la pasta fresca. No recomendable para los espaguetis, ya que para kincheaid ya tiene otos aparatos para ello que salen mejor, que también los tengo

I purchased this unit through the warehouse deals. I will start off by saying I will never make the spaghetti in this extruder...the difference in the texture between traditional rolled pasta is just overwhelming. I was taught how to make pasta by Marcella Hazan (The Classic Italian Cookbook), she had a very funny way of comparing the two styles and I tell this story often. A student in the class asked the difference between extruded pasta and rolled pasta and she replied: "You live on the third floor of an apartment building, you want to get down to the street...you have two choices, take the stairs or jump out the window. They both get you to the street but in very different states, the extruder is jumping out the window". That being said ya just can't make hollow pasta without an extruder... I will agree that weighing the flour and measuring the eggs is a sure-fire way to get consistent results and I find my kitchen scale a crucial piece of equipment. I have watched every Youtube video on this extruder and with one exception of the one made by kitchenaid, the were ALL using a dough that was way too moist. Yes, it extrudes easier but you will notice that all of the hollow pastas they make collapse and don't hold the hollow round shape once extruded. If I think that the pasta is too dry, it's usually perfect. Moist enough just to hold together if I grab a fistful. Adding the pasta dough in small amounts and ensuring it goes through the auger before adding more avoids delays and backups. As far as flour, I use the King Arthur brand pasta blend or blend durum with all purpose flour and find that makes a huge difference in texture. I made the rigatoni for my first attempt. I used the basic recipe provided by the KA instruction book and added 2 ounces of finely chopped basil. I did not adjust the water in the recipe. It came out perfect and held it's shape nicely. I had to stop myself from pushing and then pulling the cutter through each pass...you pull it toward you for one cut, then wait for the pasta to extrude again and push it for the next cut. The unit was very easy to put together and i felt it was very easy to clean. I love the way the disc holder stores within the unit and unlike others I feel this unit is very well made. The booklet talks about resting the machine between batches...well I have the 1.3HP motor so no need for that here...one of the reasons I upgraded to the 6000 was because my Epicurean could not handle pasta dough or rye bread dough and this 6000 is a beast! I was grateful that each disc had the name of the pasta that it made on it as I wasn't sure which disc was for which pasta. I'm very pleased with the performance of this unit and the quality and would recommend it.
