5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pasta Machine, March 26, 2005

By

We just bought the Imperia pasta machine and had great success right off the bat. We've read reviews (on other web sites) where consumers complain of it's difficult usage. Having two people when working is helpful. We used the recipe in the instruction manual and used all purpose flour. A mixer (kitchenaid) was a lot easier than working with a fork/hand combo. The only drawback we found was in the layout of the instruction manual. It was sometimes confusing flipping pages between the recipe and the machine useage. The tips they give are very helpful.

For those of you with a Kitchenaid stand mixer trying to decide between simply buying the pasta attachment or purchasing a separate pasta maker, I would put my money on the Imperia. We debated buying the pasta attachment to our Kitchenaid, but read reviews that mentioned it was extremely hard on the motor, sometimes producing great heat and even smoke. Not wanting to risk damaging our mixer, we opted for the Imperia. We are very glad of our decision, as just using our Kitchenaid to mix the pasta dough, was audibly hard on the motor.
The Imperia is solidly built and when extruding the pasta through
the rollers, you feel confident it will not break.

My old pasta maker was wonderful, but after 25 years, and a broken crank, it needed to be replaced. We use ours heavily--a big Italian family with lots of homemade ravioli parties! I was loathe to try to replace it but read reviews here and elsewhere and then called my mom-in-law who told me to get this one. She was right! I ordered it last minute and had it shipped to my sister's for Christmas so we could make pasta there for the holidays. I thought I'd be bringing it home, but I'm buying another--my non-Italian brother-in-law got hooked! It came packaged nicely and performed better than any other pasta machine I've seen or used. We love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works fine, September 10, 2006

I thought I would write this review because when I was doing research into which pasta machine to get I saw quite a few negative reviews, about the machine not cutting cleanly and it being very difficult to clean. I think both of these problems are caused by the pasta dough not being made right. If the dough is too wet it will stick in the machine. It's important to let the sheets stand for a while after you have run them through the rollers. It was about 10 minutes for mine but it will vary depending on how humid the conditions are and how wet the dough is. it should have lost a bit of its floppiness but if you leave it too long it will break in the machine. I saw several reviews where the reviewer said that their kitchen ended up being incredibly messy because of this machine. Don't blame the machine!

in short, this is a perfectly good pasta machine and it works fine.
