Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of CucinaPro 150 Imperia Pasta Machine
Customer Review: Best pasta we've ever had
Summary: 4 Stars
We tend to go through a lot of pasta, with three kids in the house, and given that I already bake all our bread, the family thought a pasta machine seemed like the obvious next step -- and so there it was under the Christmas tree. I made our first batch the next day. It was a little tough to get the hang of it, but the pasta was delicious.
I tried making three batches by hand -- breaking an egg into a pile of flour and mixing with my fingers -- and found I had trouble with it, especially when using wheat flour. I also tried using the food processor without any luck. I finally hit on making the dough in a bread machine, and nothing has been easier. Here is what has worked for me: 1 egg, one cup of four (I usually use 1/2 all-purpose and 1/2 whole wheat), and however many drops or teaspoons of water are necessary to make the dough come together. I make the dough a little on the wet side, and work it on a heavily floured surface as I am rolling and cutting, to keep it from sticking.
If the dough is of a good, soft consistency, and well-floured to keep it from sticking, the machine works great. Run it through the rollers on the widest setting 6 to 10 times until it comes out smooth and even, and then start narrowing the gap. Cut the sheet when it gets too long. The machine comes with a cutter with two sizes, fettuccine and a thin spaghetti. Both work fine if you roll the sheet out to the next-to-narrowest setting before cutting.
The machine seems to be solidly-built and strong. I do not let it get wet, for fear of rust. To clean it, I brush it thoroughly with a pastry brush to remove flour and bits of dough, and maybe run a paper towel through to dry it off.
Final verdict: everybody loves the pasta, the kids love to help make it, it really doesn't take much time to throw together a batch, and it's fun. If it holds up well, it will be one of the best Christmas gifts ever.
