This does such an amazing job of making pasta! I haven't made it before now and I was so amazed with how easy it was to do using this! There is an online video I watched for tutorials and then, I was ready to go- nervous but ready. Don't put this in water to clean. I pick out any leftover dough and keep it floured a bit as I move the dough through. I've only used it once so far and no issues!
