    noob here, is it easier and better to just buy a Philip pasta maker instead of these?

    • +6

      It's mixing an egg with 3/4 of a cup of flour, if you have money to burn, i guess it might be easier, but better? no.
      Also you can do lasagne sheets with this, makes for unbelievably good lasagne.

      • how about making Asian noodles too?

        but does it break after a dozen uses like most kmart things?

        • +5

          Bought this or something very similar from Kmart a few years back. Broke after two uses as the gears weren't machined out of quality steel and wore out.

          Bought a Marcato Atlas which has been perfect for weekly use over the last 3 years and still going strong.

        • I've got an Aldi one that I got for around $25. Been using it for years. I'm assuming the quality will be about the same. Main thing is to make sure that you don't step down to fast or try to put the dough through when it's too thick. If it's too thick then the rollers will separate and can go out of alignment.

      • It's actually surprisingly a lot harder because of the cleaning involved with the Phillips, that dough just gets everywhere.

        • I owned the Philips noodle maker with the integrated scale. Great machine and really easy to make all sorts of fresh pasta/noodles. However, I have to agree that the cleaning is pretty time consuming and fiddler. My machine failed to start after 1.5 years because of a software issue. I got a full refund from David Jones back then.

          I am actually keen to trying the Kmart one here!

    • Didn’t know that existed until now, thanks for sharing. Seems like they could have also automated that last step of cutting the pasta into set lengths but it’s still a lot better than having to mix and knead.

      Phillips pasta maker is for extruded pasta, whereas this is for rolled pasta. Really, they are completely different types of pasta.

    • I have a Philips pasta maker and a similar one of these. The Philips Pasta maker is good because it kneads the dough for you and then extracts the pasta. Usually there is left over dough in the Philips machine so I use one of these things to create extra pasta.

    • I have a Philips and it is great, the only thing is I wish it had a linguine attachment.

  • The thickest (a few) level will have problem rotating the handle. At least for my machine bought on ebay.

  • +4

    Man, I knead this!

    Can't use water or dishwasher to clean it? Guess I'll give it to the kids to lick clean.

    Can’t pasta this deal!

    Material: Stainless steel
    Warning: Do not wash with water?????

    • FWIW, Marcato Atlas 150 has the same warning.

      • Yeah, $15 is not bad. Just got the same feeling when I realised some models of Philips tooth brushes are not waterproof.

  • +3

    If anybody looks at rolling their own pasta I highly recommend checking out Helen Rennie's youtube videos, she has a few different variations and her 'consistently perfect pasta' recipe is a bit pricey but always so unbelievably good

    • Very helpful.
      Thanks for sharing.

    You Don't Need a Pasta Machine!

    save yourself the $15

    • Although this may be helpful for some people, going off the videos OkayFray suggested, that you’d need to ensure you use the correct type of flour for this rolling pin technique (“00”) and not just regular flour most people use for things like cakes, or you’ll have a disaster.

    • +4

      IMO it takes a lot more manual labour and time to use a rolling pin if you're doing it for big number of people. Also a pain to make to thickness the exact same (at least for me).

      • I’ve made pasta without a machine before and it was a blooming disaster. Some were as thin as vermicelli and some as thick as a pizza.

        Never again.

  • I made pasta with one of these types of machines. Once. It was good pasta but the novelty wore off. Now the machine will haunt my cupboard for decades, another used once gadget.

    Spaghetti isn't traditionally made with a machine like this, so you could save yourself $15, space in the closet and create less landfill by using the best and oldest methods 👍

    Nonna never used a machine, just those left and right guns.

    Also, make everything by hand, the exercise is good and the process cathartic, there's a reason those old wogs are still around living longer than we will.

  • I once brought a pasta making machine at kmart for $15. It was the only one left and while in theory it seems great. Chuck in water and flour and the machine does the rest I didn't end up using a great deal. Maybe 2-3 times. I then sold it on ebay so be mindful about buying this and it gathering dust. Only get it if you will make good use out of it.
