KitchenAid KPRA Pasta Roller Attachment for Stand Mixers


I LOVE IT but...5

I have had every kind of pasta roller - the chrome manual kind the one that does everything (mixes extrudes) and now this. I LOVE it. I love having my hands free to hold the dough going in and coming out and not having the manual roller shift all over the place. I am amazed how thin I can make the dough - tissue paper-thin. My only complaint and I make it for the sake of completeness is the fact that it took SEVERAL batches of dough (the first of which I was willing to sacrifice) to "clean" it out. I noticed what looked like metallic deposits all over my dough especially on the edges. This was very distressing to me. I tried wiping the roller with a towel (for about an hour) I tried rubbing it with olive oil and I tried dusting it with flour all of which helped but it was ridiculous how much time I had to spend and how many batches of dough I had to waste (about four)! Overall however I am very pleased but I think they should include in the instructions a statement to the effect that you should expect to see the deposits and how to clean it or they should make sure it's cleaner before sending it out!More detail ...
