#Philips pasta maker manual
Making a batch of pasta every day is definitely quicker than I manage to do with a manual machine. I was pretty happy with the results I got with this machine.
I’ve been making homemade pasta for a long time now and I appreciate Philips attempt to make homemade pasta accessible for everyone. You’ll be amazed how this machine makes it look like very little effort with a pretty pretty good pasta as the result. A lot of novice pasta makers don’t have a problem with using their machines, but getting the dough right is more difficult. If you stick to the recipes Philips provides and use the flour & liquid measuring cups, the results are pretty darn great. Using the machine – accessible and surprisingly quick Pasta rollers like the Marcato 150 (with optionable Marcato motor attachment) and the KitchenAid pasta attachments give you more control, precision and are better choices if time isn’t always of the essence. If you want a more traditional approach and don’t mind spending time learning the craft of pasta, this might not be the right choice. The Philips Pasta Maker isn’t the best choice for everyone. The convenience this machine gives you, gives you no excuse to ever go back to the dried supermarket pasta. While it isn’t the real thing, its miles ahead of supermarket pasta. The pasta it extrudes is good, but a bit dense.
Whenever you feel like it, with this machine you’ll be sure that fresh pasta will always be an option for dinner (or lunch). Should you buy the Philips Pasta Maker? Yes, I think it’s a great machine for those that don’t have the time to prepare and make fresh pasta.
