i bought this device recently from Amazon, but i received no recipe book...and so i am somewhat at a loss to obtain the "dry breadcrumb" type dough recommended by the last reviewer. 1 egg per 100 gr. flour with 1/2 semolina 1/2 all purpose. is that the only recipe included? i've been looking online for recipes specific to this attachment, but i cannot find any....sorry this is not a review. i have yet to try this attachment.
Some custumers have been disappointed by this pasta maker because pasta sticks after the holed dish. They also say "the slightly wet pasta dough". That is the problem.The dough, mixed with the K beater at speed 1 and even less and not overworked, has to be like breadcrumbs, as stated in the instructions.The measuring cup is perfect; I use 5 eggs medium, exactly reaching the upper line in the cup and honoring the golden rule "1 egg for each 100 gr. of flour".Do not use light or allpurpose flour, too sticky, or pure semolina, too strong and dangerous for the machine, but that special for pasta (in Montreal it is currently sold in the supermarkets). If it is not available, use a mix 50/50 allpurpose and semolina.If only allpurpose is available, less liquid will be added to obtain a dry breadcrumbs consistence. In the kitchen spoons, cups and scales must be counterbalanced by the brains.The best is to pour the mix in the pasta maker by hand and the hands have to remain clean and dry.Cut the pasta beyond the dish with the back of a knife.The pasta is so dense that the average cooking time is 12 minutes, while eggs pasta homemade usually takes 3 or 4 or 5 minutes only.All, I say again all, the pasta makers working with the system of a screw pushing through an holed dish want to process a dry dough!! The main beauty of the Kenwood pasta maker is that the motor is not 150 watt, but much, much more powerful.Why I rated this equipment 4 and not 5? Because the fettuccine dish makes fettuccine too thick.Bon appetitps sorry for my elementar English. It is not my mother tongue, but I love it.
Being a big fan of the Kenwood major machine, using it several times a week, I have been very disappointed by the Kenwood pasta maker.Why - heres the story :The pasta maker works by forcing pasta dough through a dish containing a number of holes, the shape of the holes determine which pasta you thought you were about to make.The holes are placed vertically as well as horizontically (rows and coloumns).When using the pastamaker, gravity pulls the fresh and slightly wet pasta dough towards earth.On the long and indeed dangerous journey towards earth the pasta emerging from a vertical set of holes collides with pasta emerging from the same vertical set of holes - producing the bubble of dough you put into the machine in the first place - instead of pasta..The pastamaker mey be good for something, but its not making pasta.I believe Kenwood should change the name of this appliance or take it of the market alltogether.
