The main reason we love this equipment is due to the material in which it is built. Anodized aluminum, is the main material of this pasta machine, and it is a material that will not leave harmful particles (such as nickel and chromium) in your dough.
This noodle maker comes with a 10-year warranty and is manufactured in Italy.
12 optional accessories give you options for making pasta in many other shapes and thicknesses.
Allows for a wide variety of thickness settings.
This machine was really just a joy to use. It was wide enough to clamp down on my thick Boos Block table, and it didn't budge at all as we cranked away.
This is a perfect tool for any home cook. It is very easy to use, store, and clean. The only problem is that I want to make pasta all the time! :)
