I have this but no instructions. I don’t know what to do with the little plastic piece that goes inside.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

EL WESTON CAST IRON ES MUY BUENO Y EL PRECIO EXELENTE, YO HABIA ESCUCHADO COMENTARIOS ACERCA DE PRECIOS EN ESTOS PRODUCTOS Y NUNCA SE APROXIMARON A TAN BUEN PRECIO. EL WESTON CAST IRON ES BUENICIMO, LO UNICO QUE LAMENTO ES NO HABER QUERIDO GASTAR UN POCO MAS Y HABER COMPRADO DE UNA BUENA VEZ EL DE ACERO INOXIDABLE. SI CON EL CAST IRON ESTOY TAN SATISFECHO, ME IMAGINO LO QUE SERIA CON EL DE ACERO INOXIDABLE. YO RECOMIENDO AMPLIAMENTE EL WESTON CAST IRON, PERO....SI HUBIESE SABIDO QUE EL PRODUCTO ES TAN BUENO HUBIESE GASTADO UN POCO MAS Y COMPRADO EL DE ACERO INOXIDABLE. JOSE DE LOS ANGELES CA.

My wife got me Imperia's pasta roller and ravioli machine at the same time. Their pasta maker works well, but this ravioli attachment is terrible.

There are two wheels, one with holes for the filling. There are supposed to be wavy ridges that separate the raviolis, but the wheels aren't round, and they touch sometimes and not others. The wavy lines look like they were drawn freehand by an 8-year-old, and then parts of the lines were machined off (!) for unknown reasons.

I was at first surprised that it didn't work and thought I was doing something wrong. But if you inspect it, there is no way this thing can work. I am about to throw it away and I hate it so much I am taking the time to write this review.

This unit makes tiny raviolis (about the size of a nickel) and we were not successful at getting them to seal. Then to make matters worst, Today’s Concept charged a 10% restocking fee.

This machine did not come with instructions, a crank handle or fill feeder. I contacted the seller who quickly replaced it; however, the same problem occured with no instructions, no handle or filling feeder

Item was delivered on time as advertised. It looks like a great buy for the money as similar units go for $79.00

This attachment is a wonderful investment for serious users of their imperia pasta machine. With a bad recipe and little patience, you will have filling everywhere and you might just be tempted to throw this attachment into the garbage!! If however, you have a good recipe and the patience to try out different settings, you will learn how to easily use this attachment, and get delicious ravioli!!

Practice does make perfect. Once you get the hang of this.....you'll love it!!

I agree with the other negative review below, this attachment is useless for making ravioli. Firstly, the ravioli are way too small (IMHO) and it is very difficult to gauge the amount of filling to put into the machine, as it depends on the consistency of the mixture. It’s not possible to roll the pasta thin enough for a good ravioli either, as if it’s too thin the filling just squirts right out. It is also impossible to clean when a wet filling gets inside the machine (which it does) if you cannot use water to wash it (which it says you shouldn’t as it may rust). I recommend the old fashioned way of making ravioli, it’s actually a lot easier and you have more control over the size and shape of the finished product. I actually like the Imperia Pasta machine very much, but this was a very disappointing attachment.

I don’t want to give it even a 1-star rating. It doesn’t deserve any rating, except maybe an F minus! This thing is SOOOOOOO poorly engineered, I’m amazed Ron Popeil shows his face on the street, much less on television. It mixed the dough well enough, but would NOT extrude unless I forced teaspoon-sized wads of dough into the extruder screw. Do you know how long that took to extrude 2 cups of dough? 45 minutes! I had to open the lid and squash the dough in constantly. But wait, there’s more! – the mixing paddle turns in the opposite direction of the extruder screw, knocking my pitiful dough wads off the extruder screw. Plus, dough gets caught all over the outside of the turning mechanism and under the outlet, so you lose a lot of it, because the bowl is too small to get your hand in to scrape it out. What a mess! It’s like knitting socks in slow motion. So SLOW, so NOISY. I made lasagne noodles with the mold, and they were about 3/4 of the width they should be. It took 45 minutes to extrude what I could’ve rolled out on a table and cut in less than 5 minutes, and gotten the correct size. Ron Popeil, you owe me an apology! Or, at least an aspirin, because your noisy, slow machine gave me a headache on top of all the frustration.

Yep, I bought one of these years ago. After seeing the infomercial upteem times I fell for how easy it was to make.
Well, folks, it ain't that easy and to date I have never used the item again. It sits, unused, on the shelf. The parts fit poorly and the recipe is off. When I called to complain about this all they did was try to sell me another recipe book! I finally got so frustrated with the Popiel folks not listening to my complaint on the manufacture of the pasta maker and the inaccuracy of the recipie (which by the way they pointed out and their fix was for me to buy the NEW recipe book) that I finally gave up since they seemed to be flummoxed by what to do about my complaint. All I heard was them talking to each other in the background puzzled.
Would I suggest this item to anyone? NOPE!
Save your money. You can make your own noodles and pasta far better by hand or with one of those stainless steel pasta makers the old Italian ladies used for decades that didn't need to be plugged in, didn't have "parts" that didn't fit properly, etc. I have priced those out at less than $40 each and no shipping charge folks since they can be bought locally.
If there was a lesser rating than one I would have given it to Ron on this one.
I will admit he is a good showman. Oh, that free bagel cutter? It arrived cracked and the knife was the only good item out of the whole deal.
I do own his slicer that I got when I purchased the food dehydrator. That thing is useless also.

Save your money, folks and go to Sears or BJ's and buy close to home so if the item is a bust you can actually see the person and demand your money back in person instead of being kept on the phone while they try to sell you even more of the stuff for an item you can't use.
