trouble shooting
Question
The appearance of the pasta is rough
The quality of the extruded pasta
varies throughout the mix
Pasta doesn't come out the holes
The dies are difficult to clean
Pasta shapes are ragged
The die doesn't fit onto the scroll
Answer/Hint
G
The screens/dies are specifically
made of bronze. A feature of the
bronze die is that it gives the pasta a
rough surface which is preferred as it
allows any accompanying sauce to stick
G
This is normal, but can be minimised
by:-
-ensuring the mix is of a fairly even
consistency to start with.
- adding the mix to the pasta maker at a
steady rate.
- ensuring that all the mix is extruded in
one batch.
- ensuring the mix is not allowed to dry
out.
G
Ensure the dies are clean before
starting, any dried pasta in the holes
will prevent extrusion.
G
Check that the feed tube is not blocked.
G
Use the spanner/pusher to help
feed the pasta onto the scroll.
G
Always clean immediately after use,
do not allow the mix to dry onto the
die.
G
Use the tool provided. The thicker
end of the tool is ideal for cleaning the
larger holes on the Maccheroni rigati
die, whilst the thinner end is suitable
for cleaning other dies.
G
Sometimes the first pasta extruded is
slightly ragged. Add the pasta mix in
a constant steady rate, try adjusting
the rate at which the mix is added.
Warm the body, die and ring nut in hot
water and dry thoroughly before using.
G
Check that the centre hole in the die
is cleared of any dry mix from
previous tests.
G
Check that if you are changing dies
during operation, there is no mix
between the die and scroll preventing
it from fitting flush.
