What You Will Get With Pasta Machines
Pasta machines have greatly sped up the noodle making process. Many of these machines were originally made in Italy, but now are made in other countries as well. They come in an assortment of sizes, price ranges, and some even have multiple attachments. The hand-crank option is the most common form purchased, but there is an electric model available as well. Hand-crank models can also be outfitted with a 2-speed motor to assist with quicker noodle making. The price ranges run from 35 to 135 dollars for home-use types. While commercial models start around 670 dollars and jump up to 1, 400 dollars.
These noodle makers generally have one side that flattens out the dough and the opposite side of the machine cuts the noodles out.
The commercial models are able to make around 26 pounds of pasta in one hour, which is excellent for a restaurant or even a cafeteria. This machine weighs 26 pound, is 13 inches wide, eight and a half inches deep, and ten inches high. Four cylinders of assorted sizes also come with this industrial model noodle maker. No matter what size each model is, washing is not an option.
These machines are only to be wiped down, never immersed. The steel parts are susceptible to rusting if they come in contact with water, whether they are chrome plated, nickel plated, or stainless steel.
There are pasta machines that are able to make cavatelli, spaghetti, pierogi, tortellini, cappelletti, fettuccini, gnocchi, Angel Hair, Tagliatell, Trenette, and Lasagnette. A ravioli making attachment can even be added, which allows rolls of three one and one forth of ravioli to be made at a time. Some pasta machines come with attachments to make all these types of noodles, while others only come with a few. Special dies are available, so pasta can be made into hearts, triangles, half moons, and many more shapes as well. A few plastic pasta machines exist as well, but they aren’t nearly as durable.
