Product Description
A great accessory for your KitchenAid stand mixer. This set features a roller to knead and roll your pasta, a fettuccine cutter, and a spaghetti cutter. Each is easy to install and easy to remove for cleaning with the including cleaning brush. Fits all KitchenAid stand mixers, not shown. Model KPRA.

Amazon.com Review
If you have a passion for perfectly prepared pasta, try making your own delectable lasagna noodles, fettuccine, or linguine fini with this pasta roller set that fits all KitchenAid stand mixers. The three attachments include a pasta roller, a fettuccine cutter, and a linguine fini cutter. Just prepare pasta dough and form it into small rectangles which are then fed into one of the attachments. Out come uniform lasagna noodles, fettuccine, linguine, or angel hair pasta. The pasta can be enjoyed fresh or frozen or dried for later. Complete directions, cooking tips, and recipes are included, though cleaning the attachments can be a bit of a challenge, as they can't be washed in water, and any dried-on pasta particles must be removed with the included cleaning brush and toothpicks. --Marcie Bovetz

Yankee pasta! May 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I had not one problem with this the first time I made pasta in it. Everything came out perfect! I had read other reviews and had my doubts but no specks of metal nor anything else. I followed the directions to a tee and my fetticini came out perfect - tonights supper.

Great addition to my mixer March 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I will admit after reading some of the other reviews before buying this, I was a little nervous about using it. I am so happy I did. I make a different pasta recipe almost every night! The roller is also great for helping roll other doughs too like pie dough! This was a great investment and addition to my stand mixer!

Good Solid product February 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My good friend scoffed at me for spending this much money on a pasta roller when for a 3rd of the price you could purchase a hand crank model.

I had a hand crank model. That's why I wanted this one.

I got tired of constantly needing three hands to roll pasta. This makes the entire process so much easier and cuts the time in about half as well for the roller never slows down, or gets tired, or gets distracted.

Also for folks worried about the plastic gears, I would not want them to be anything but plastic. If for some reason I stick something too big and thick through this roller, I want these plastic gears to snap before my gears in the Kitchen-aid mixer. Having said that, I can't imagine these gears popping on normal amounts of pasta dough.

I love my sheet roller! February 23, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I am a caterer and have been a foodie for over 30 years. I began my journey with pasta over 20 years ago. My cheese/spinach ravioli is a much requested item. I bought the KitchenAid Roller Attachment set about 9 years ago. I own lots of ravioli gadgets - a ravioli rolling pin, several individual cutters, 3 different sizes of presses, and a manual roller/cutter that clamps onto the counter top edge( I even had my new counter tops done differently in three locations just to accomidate that manual machine!) When I teach classes on making pasta, I show all of my gadgets, but I use this sheet roller for all the actual work.

I've never had any problems with mine. I noticed several reviews complained about the initial cleaning of the product. I have bought (and returned quite a few) many gadgets to roll, cut or form pasta. Metal products are coated in machine oil. You should also do maintanence to your rollers (all of the metal ones) and oil the fittings every few years. All metal machinery takes occassional oiling or it'll freeze up. I give dough to kids and let them roll it out to clean it. Just like when I oil my sewing machine; I have to sew on scrap for a bit to get the excess off the needle or it'll drip oil onto your project.

Another poor review said the pasta dough recipe made too dry of a dough. Another said they heard some plastic pop and break. Well, I make breads too. The weather affects how much liquid the flour will take. This can change from day to day on the same recipe. Any baker or good cook knows this. That's why new bakers are told to not bake on rainy days or high humidity days. Us 'old' cooks don't need to heed that warning.

When the dough is too dry it WILL break a machine. The dough should feel like silk (or as we say in our house- as smooth as a baby's butt). If it's dry and crumbly, cut it into smaller pieces, and sprinkle a few tiny drops of water on the pieces and give it short bursts in a food processor. Just do a few drops at a time until it is right. If it's too wet, cut into pieces and add 1/2 tsp of flour at a time and do the short pulses of the food processor. You can also add water or flour to the dough while kneeding it through the rollers.
Here's how-
Set rollers on thickest setting, run through rollers, flour the top side lightly, fold over into thirds, pat some more flour on each side and run it through again. you should kneed your dough several times before making your sheet anyway. If it's too dry then SLIGHTLY dampen the top, fold each side over the center (thirds) and run it through. Don't put the water on the outside or it'll make a sticky mess.
So......
The recipe given in the book is fine, the weather is the problem and a bit of common sense. ; )

As for the complaint about the rollers being too hard to clean. None of the metal rollers I have seen can be immersed in water. They are ALL made this way. That's shy you oil them. If you have dried dough inside, then shake the roller unit around(after you've removed it from your mixer) to get them out and run some throw away dough through it to catch the pieces. BTW, the reason there's dough dried inside the housing is because your dough was too wet or too dry. Good 'baby butt smooth' dough doesn't break off on the edges.

To finish, I want to say that all of my kids and their friends have helped me in the kitchen with this tool and that I have had 3 year olds run this unit. I love my KitchenAid and the only bad product I've ever bought was the Ravioli maker they made. Now THAT was a piece of crap. Buy a ravioli press and a cheap rolling pin (it'll ruin yours by making the wavy cutting lines indent themselves onto your pin.)

Happy pasta making! I had to write this review after I saw so many idiotic bad reviews from people who either can't cook (but think they can) and/or people who have no common sense at all (like the person who said the dough was too dry in the recipe! That one cracked me up!)

Kitchen Aid Pasta Maker February 13, 2008

Easy to use and makes excellent pasta. I had read some previous reviews that gave me some caution that it might be troublesome or complicated, but it met every expectation that I had for it. Buy a set!
