Question: I am seeing two kind of pasta attatchments, this roller type and an excruder type. Any preferences of suggestions
Document: I have had every kind of pasta roller - the chrome manual kind, the one that does everything (mixes, extrudes) and now this. I LOVE it. I love having my hands free to hold the dough going in and coming out and not having the manual roller shift all over the place. I am amazed how thin I can make the dough - tissue paper-thin.
Too bad they don't have some kind of automatic reset. For those that don't know what I mean, You start by feeding your dough on the widest roller setting (1) and work your way up. Setting (5) is usually fine with me, But it does go all the way to (8) I believe.All in All it takes me about 45 minutes to make up a batch of fresh pasta, And that's with letting it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes after mixing.
Very easy to use and a wonderful invention! I have been making ravioli for over 50 years and always either rolled the dough with a rolling pin or a crank type pasta roller. Cuts the time in half for making ravioli! Thanks KitchenAid!
After trying the manual ones and experiencing the frustration of trying to cope with the crank and guiding the pasta across the table to which it is attached. This was a real snap, gravity was a help because the rollers directs the pasta down rather than away from the roller. Although the results weren't perfect, they were much better than the attempt with the manual type roller. Now I just need to hone my skills.
I am not the type of person who normally writes a review for a product but find myself doing so in this case. Although experiencing some initial trepidation based upon the few negative reviews of the pasta roller I nevertheless proceeded to purchase this product and tried same for first time today. All I can say is where have you been all my life. This is a first rate product which is worth every hard earned penny paid for it.
I had no idea making homemade pasta could be so easy! Have only used it once so far, used the roller device to make lasagna noodles and it was great. Was very easy to use,  directions with the item were good and easy  to follow. Was surprised at how quickly I could make it and it came out delicious! Have never used a different type of pasta maker, but definitely no need to ever try any other product. Hopefully the other attachments will work as easily.
So, first thing this AM I called Kitchenaid and explained the problem; lady in customer service put me on hold to research this particular type of complaint and could not find anything in her history of such a problem. She states she has worked there 3 years and never heard of this happening. So, anyway, she is shippine me out a new roller UPS today, and including a prepaid postage box to send back my defective one.
These Roller attatchments are awesome. I have used these a couple of times now and have had ZERO issues. Haven't had and metal being rolled into my pasta and they make the pasta look picture perfect. I think some of the bad reviews are from people that aren't familiar with making pasta, also aren't familiar with using rollers and cutters. I used to be a chef and would love to of had these in my kitchens to make things go faster since I used to make pasta all by hand.
I received the pasta roller and two cutters for a Christmas present this past December. I have been using it like crazy making various types/flavors of pasta dough. So, over the past weekend, I noticed dark spots of ???
It's not like we didn't want to keep the set, we do. It's just that I now have to spend $70 to get a new individual pasta roller. Well two lessons for me 1) always open gifts for other peole to see if they work "immediately and 2) never allow an Amazon purchase where Simply Beautiful is the supplier.
Answer: Well, first, you need a roller attachment to run the dough thru several times until you reach the desired thickness for the pasta, secondly, you'll need the pasta cutter which will cut the dough rolled out into various types of pasta, for example, fettechini, spaghetti. The pasta roller also acts as a lasagna roller. Most sets are sold in three pieces, the dough roller, and two attachments for various kinds of pasta. So, I recommend getting the roller and the two pasta cutters for various styles of pasta. Buying them separately is more expensive. Buy the three attachment set and save yourself some grief.
