IMPERIA, GSD Attachment Spaghetti, Stainless-Steel Multi Colour, One Size

Product Information

The pasta maker is a strong product and that’s durable and built to last. It offers the promised quality and material to users. It’s made of stainless steel with blades made of carbon steel to help roll the pasta smoothly. When it comes to ravioli, several options combined will make the best toolset when it comes to making fresh, homemade ravioli. These are the best tools that I can recommend everyone to start out. The CucinaPro Imperia 150 is worth its money as it is of better quality than similar pasta makers of the same or even higher price. The materials that are used to make the pasta maker are of good quality, if you take good care of this pasta maker it will just as shiny in 10 years as when you took it out of its box for the first time. Marcato offers 10 years of warranty, whereas Imperia models only come with a 1 year warranty. This is a significant difference between the two manufacturers and is alone one of the main reasons that I personally use a Marcato. Since a pasta maker is essentially a machine with gears and other mechanisms, they can break! So it is important to look at the warranty. One thing can be said for sure: if we are looking at the design of the pasta rollers, the Marcato Atlas 150 Wellness would definitely be the winner of the two. Featuring a classic and high-class design, you get the feeling you are looking at a high quality product. From the beautiful beveled logo to the nine different colors that the Marcato is available in: it just looks and definitely feels right.

Yes, the Imperia 150 is a great pasta maker! Good quality, easy to use and its one of the best selling manual machines for a good reason. I love the look of the machine with its shiny exterior and the classic wooden hand crank. With an abundance of different methods making ravioli, it might be difficult to choose the essential pasta tools and gear. Please remember that pasta is supposed to be simple and a fancy machine doesn’t automatically make for better ravioli or pasta in general. Starting out when making ravioli, getting a few ravioli stamps, a roller (and why not add the tray while you’re at it) is probably the way to go. The tools to make ravioli by hand – do you really need anything else? Should you buy the KitchenAid ravioli maker? If you want to, yes! I certainly did! Especially if you already own the KitchenAid Pasta Maker Set (my review), you’ll have a powerful pasta & ravioli maker at your disposal. All combined into one machine. The double-cutter wheel is the most essential tool, but a pasta machine makes it a lot easier to roll out thin sheets of pasta, the basis of your ravioli dish. Use a rolling pin to achieve the same results, but it’ll take a bit more work. Pasta makers are used for flat pasta varieties—think linguine and fettuccine—but if you’re hoping to create tubular varieties, you’re going to need a pasta extruder. The KitchenAid Gourmet Pasta Press Attachment is a popular extruder that comes with five “plates” that allow you to make spaghetti, small and large macaroni, bucatini, fusilli and rigatoni. This unit attaches to a KitchenAid mixer's power hub for motorized operation, and it includes a built-in wire cutter to lop off your freshly extruded noodles.The pasta maker will assist you in making the perfect pasta in a way that’s far superior to making it on your own. When you make pasta on your own, you have to spend ages cutting the strips to the same size. That being said, having a KitchenAid is a blessing in itself when making pasta. If you’ve been making pasta for a while with one yourself, you know what I’m talking about. I use the ravioli attachment quite often, but the tray, cutters & stamps get the same amount of use.

Although the review covers most of what I expected, what I really wanted to know was more of “what’s under the hood.” That is what is most important to me. For example, I wanted to know if/how many parts are plastic when comparing the two models. Some extruders will mix and knead the dough for you, but Marchetti recommends against these all-in-one machines if you’re serious about learning the craft: “Part of the appeal of making pasta at home is learning how to mix and knead the dough, figuring out what the right consistency is, and learning how to handle the sheets,” she says. “Like any pursuit, the more you do it the better you get!”Roundup: Both the Marcato and the Imperia have their own first-party compatibile motors that can motorize the machine. You don’t need a special model of either machine to use the motor. Pricing of both machines The wooden grip handle further supports it to allow you to hold the handle easily without losing your grip. As standard the Imperia Pasta machine will enable you to make many types of pasta, such as spaghetti, tagliatelle, lasagne sheets which can in turn be used to make ravioli and cannelloni. Let's appreciate the attachment compatibility that the Italian design offers. You might be wondering what to do when you want something other than spaghetti or fettuccine pasta. Hard-anodized aluminum is twice as hard as stainless steel, making it very tough and durable. Anodization seals aluminum so that the metal can’t get into the food. I understand your view on aluminum and its health concerns, especially with aluminum being linked with Alzheimers in several studies. Personally I avoid deodorant with aluminum, but I still use my Marcato pasta maker. If you don’t trust the anodized aluminum rollers, you should avoid the Wellness models.
