Texture is at least 40% of the joy of food, in my opinion. But also Matt could read the phone book and I'd watch

[@DanielSultana]

I made tagliatelle once, by hand, ie I mixed the egg and flour in a bowl with a wooden spoon, rolled it out with a rolling pin, and cut it into strips with a knife. Unfortunately I undercooked the pasta as I was too afraid of overcooking it, since everyone I had told I was going to make it told me to be careful not to overcook it, as it takes much shorter than dry pasta, and the recipe assumed the pasta would be thinner (as made by a machine, rather than the thicker hand cut) and I couldn't keep on cooking it further as I finished cooking it by tossing it in the sauce. Anyways the pasta was undercooked and had such a bite to it as if I was eating meat, so texture wise it was horrible, non the less, flavour wise it was the best tasting pasta I've ever had in my life

[@MariusVideoOfficial]

Dear Techmoan, thank you for your video. Fresh pasta is very different from dry pasta, you have to cook shortly fresh pasta until it floats on the surface of (salted) water, normally it requires 3 minutes. I think that in 5 minutes you obtain am overcooked pasta. Nice machine! :) Hello from Italy! :)

[@navusx]

I've got the bigger version and absolutely loved it for making ramen, I added chili and other favours to the mix so you can taste every strand with that. A tip with cleaning the disc with small holes, just put it in the freezer a lot easier to poke it through when the dough is hardened.

[@Armadurapersonal]

navusx do you use the same mix or did you modify it? Id like to get one of these to make udon

[@navusx]

Alek, for water to flour ratio I'm pretty much stick to the recommended measurement but I play around with the ingredients a fair bit sometimes I added rice flour/potato flour for a more chewy texture + herbs and spices . You'll get a hang of it after a little while, it only takes 3 Mins to make so hardly wasting any time to experiment and the cleaning process is a breeze.There are a lot of diff discs for various shapes even dumpling wrappers or the very fine angel hair noodle. Obviously it won't be as good as the properly made stuff but it's damn fun to play with and try out diff recipes. Making Udon noodle will be perfect with this :)

If you eventually use "wholemeal flour" let us know how it went if you like! Because the structure of "Wholemeal" is a bit different. I always mess up using this "healthy" variant of flour. The "regular" flour is much easier to work with, wonder how the machine copes. And thanks; great and funny video wd!

I would say that if you use wholemeal, you need a little bit more liquid as that type of flour absorbs more, and maybe some olive oil to make it more pliable. But I'm no expert in noodles :P

[@rich1051414]

Wholemeal flour tastes sweeter but the texture is wrong, from my experience.

[@emrebaskocak]

@@Techmoan How did it go?

[@abigguitar]

I've owned a pasta maker not unlike this one in the past. What I found was what you've found. It's really cheaper to buy dry pasta than making it with this rather costly machine. It's really overkill if you're just going to make standard pasta. The benefit to a pasta maker is that you can make it with whatever flour you like rather than being limited by what the store carries. The only real downside is that you have to eat all of the pasta you make or you need to put it in the fridge. It's not like dried pasta that keeps in a container for a long time. You could dry it in a dehydrator and make your own dried pasta, but that's an extra step and it requires a dehydrator. And then there's the machine cleanup. Overall, it is fun to make, but the fun soon wears off when there aren't enough shapes and having to clean it up every time you use it. On top of that, it's a pretty chunky machine that you need to store someplace.

[@danielch6662]

Another great Techmoan offering. For those that care making your own pasta is really important. Pasta from the shops is just flour, water and stabilizer to make it last for ever. This just about qualifies as food. Home made pasta is egg based and has a short shelf life but you cook it immediately anyway. You can hand crank pasta and make tagliolini with nothing more than a kitchen knife, Jamie Oliver has a great video showing this. Me, I use my Kenwood Chef and attachments which is far more expensive than the Phillips but it makes me happy.....

[@BrianBoniMakes]

I have a similar machine and love it. Here's some tips, make multiple batches and freeze what you don't use in dinner sized quantities, that way what you lose at the end is smaller when you consider you've done half a dozen batches. I wrap them in waxed paper and at dinner time just grab a bundle and drop it in boiling water, frozen pasta cooks in the same time as fresh which is less than half the time of the dried stuff. My wife is on a special diet and we make very inexpensive pasta compared to the expensive speciality diet pasta and the limited offers they have. Once you get used to eating fresh pasta you WILL notice the difference!

[@BarnOwl61]

Good morning, I think it is a very handy machine. Now you know what you're eating, no stuff added to your food you don't know and want. As you stated, not for everyone, I do like it.

1) 3 minutes of mixing it's a very short time. Use manual feature and let the pasta maker work for, at least 7 minutes. 2) Pasta fresca, the one you made, is cooked in 5 minutes or less: "al dente". 3) You need, at least, some good olive oil and some "parmigiano reggiano or "grana padano" to taste you pasta fresca or, much better, just learn how to prepare "salsa": I think there is no salsa maker yet. 4) Amazing video as usual.

I have under my belt a long lifetime's worth of regretful expensive kitchen gadget purchases that have all ultimately been donated or thrown away, and I largely agree with you and personally fail to recognize the compelling need for this gadget. Even if you wanted fresh pasta, the local shops almost always have them in the refrigerated section (not as fresh as making it RIGHT NOW but fresher than the dried off-the-shelf pasta). That being said, whether you review kitchen gadgets or audio gear or techie stuff, I always love your videos and watch them first!

British man eating pasta he can't taste makes me very hungry. For some reason.

[@MuchWhittering]

To be fair, it's not like pasta tastes of much.

Pretty neat little machine. Years ago, when the automatic bread makers came out, I got one for my wife, or should say the family. Was extremely easy to use, just dump in your measured ingredients, turn it on, and walk away. When it beeped four hours later,xwe had hot fresh bread. And it was really good. We experimented with different recipes and used the ones we liked. It was great, but the only drawback was the small loaves of bread, about half the size of the ones from the store. We would get fresh cream from a farmer friend and put it in a mason jar and while we waited, we'd make homemade sweetcream butter. Soon as the loaf came out of the machine, the whole family would attack it, and then it was gone 😢 then four more hours until the next loaf was ready. We could have got another machine, and doubled the output, but with them going for over $200 each at the time, it wasn't economically feasible.

A couple of tips for the pasta. Let it rest after the initial mixing and it will be smoother. Dust it in flour as it comes out to keep it from sticking. Use more water in the pot than you think. This pasta should be miles better than the dry stuff in the box, but maybe there are better brands over in Europe so the difference is not as much. The point of making your own is to get great pasta, it is like eating a whole different food.... not necessarily to save money making it yourself.

I'm not usually into kitchen gadgets, but this one I found to be quite interesting. Would make a great gift

Always good to have that little fire extinguisher handy when testing new gadgets!

[@carpii]

seems like the sort of gadget youd use a couple of times, then would end up gathering dust at the back of the cupboard. I hate these single purpose devices, may aswell get a good stand mixer and a pasta attachment so at least you can use it for bread or other stuff

[@curiosity2314]

Hats off my friend, this does look like a really cool kitchen gadget!

[@victorhugotoledocofre1366]

That sensory experience of unboxing a brand new electronic contraption tho

[@jjjoshiii6659]

Víctor Hugo Toledo Cofré god I love that feeling

I didn't know anyone still made these. I have one I bought in the nineties! Ronco if I remember correctly. Mine came with like 15 different dies for making every kind of pasta in the known universe!! It works great but of course, in those days it was not automatic, you ran it in reverse to mix and then stopped it and ran it forward to extrude the pasta! Great review as always!! Edited to add one of the cool things with this is you can make pasta with like coconut flour or something and get away from the grain if that appeals to you or if you are say gluten intolerant.
