    Yes, they are just bad at this. The extruder works great if you know how to use it. I use an all semolina dough for this and make sure it rests wrapped up so it can hydrate the flour. Their dough was crap which is why it would not hold its shape. Also, in an extruder, yes, at first the pasta doesn’t come out of all the holes, but once it does, cut it off and throw it back in the top to be re-extruded. Seems painfully obvious. And I guess it wouldn’t make a good video to do it right, unless you wanted to show how to do it right. I thought this was a food expert channel. Apparently not. Hapless Millennials Make Bad Food For Clicks would be a better title for the channel.

    DO OVER! It seems like you didn't read the directions carefully. For the extruder, you're supposed to form the dough into small balls before putting them into the extruder ... not put the whole blob of dough in the extruder and end up with unfilled sections of the extruder. That's probably why your pasta "seemed to get better looking" after it had been extruding for a while. That will also enable the shapes to exit the extruder at the same rate, and speed up the whole process. ..... The ravioli maker takes practice. Know that your strip of dough needs to have square ends. Demonstrators usually fold uneven dough ends toward the center and run it through the rollers again once or twice, until the finished dough strip has square ends. Knowing how much filling to put in the ravioli maker and knowing when to STOP filling the ravioli maker will also go a long way for eliminating waste and eliminate having to do unnecessary extra cleaning.

Do it again with a dough made with one egg per 100 grams of semolina som olive oil and salt. get it mixed in a food processor. cling film it and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. try again with boiling water. and feed the machine evenly.

    Not sure how did you heard it but as a chef I can tell you noodles are made with flour equivalent of AP flour. Chinese wheat noodle is made with cold water method and tends to use high protein flour for the bouncy texture, although some area wheat variety does not have a high enough protein content and alkalinization have come to the rescue. Hot water kneading would make the dough much softer so its generally used in pastry, wrappers, pancakes and not in noodles.

    mtktm - Chinese people like their noodles chewy, use high gluten flour such as in hand-pulled noodles. If cheaper lower gluten flour is used, they add in lye to increase the cross-linking of the gluten. What you referred to may be the ones made with rice flour instead of wheat flour, pure white in color and called 粉 "fan" instead of 麵 "mein".

I just used a fine tipped sharpie on the tile and followed that line. It does make a wet mess, and once I started looking like I wet myself I started wearing a towel and apron while cutting. The blade it came with worked great until we wore it out. It was better than the replacement one we bought. I tried looking for just their blade, but failed. Not really for larger tiles unless you stack stuff on either side to support the tiles. Anyway, would definitley buy again.

    You're having trouble with the extruder most likely because you're using the wrong kind of dough. You want to be using course semolina flour made from durum wheat, and water, with low hydration, meaning the fully mixed dough will be dry and crumbly in texture. Do that right, and your extruded pasta will come out perfect.

    Esther & Jackie, We thank you for showing in your tutorial all the "different" kinds of PASTA that the KitchenAid attachments can cut/form. If at all possible, can you instruct the KZread audience on HOW to properly attach the KitchenAid pasta components to the stand mixer? Esther pushed one of the pasta attachments onto the KitchenAid; however, there is a small knob on the side of the mixer/machine that the user will have to twist to make the attachment stay in place (i.e. the little knob will lock it in). Additionally, the user needs to know that they can CHANGE the size of the "flat" pasta (sheeter) by turning the setting on the large silver-finished knob on the front of the stand mixer (I.e. this special knob is there to form the thickness and thinness of the pasta dough). Bonus: They can also use the FLAT PASTA (Sheeter attachment) to flatten FONDANT (for cake decorating), PIZZA DOUGH, PIE CRUST (DOUGH), ETC! ;-D Perhaps, beginners would appreciate this little bit of info (if they do not own an owners' manual/instructions)??? WHY I'M SUGGESTING THIS: My neighbor purchased her KitchenAid second-hand...it did not have an Owner's Manual or Instructions included; therefore, she sought out your tutorial for assistance on how to use the attachments (which were included with the KitchenAid). :-D Usually, you would have to purchase the attachments separately...she really got a great deal! :-D It's been years since I used a KitchenAid stand mixer, but I sort of helped her figure it out just a little while ago! I figured since you have a KZread channel I'm hopeful that you would also include "how" to properly put the pasta attachments onto the KitchenAid stand mixer? Oh, and PLEASE inform your audience NOT to SUBMERGE the pasta attachments into WATER! Just use a very damp cloth to clean them, then dry them accordingly. P.S. Don't forget to bring the water to a RAPID BOIL prior to adding the PASTA and try using SPECIALTY flour(s) such as 00 Flour and/or semolina Flour to make your pasta instead of CAKE FLOUR. *NOTE: Cake flour is NOT ideal for making pasta, but is great for dessert, perfected. CAKE FLOUR creates cakes with a medium-fine texture and a moist flavorful crumb. Hence the name CAKE flour! Fresh pasta from scratch can be made with the right type of flour. The FLOUR makes all the difference! TIP: You may give King Arthur's specialty "Pasta Flour Blend" a try. The perfect pasta blend combines the strength of durum flour, the golden color of semolina, and the flexibility of all-purpose - making it the ideal base for any pasta recipe, from linguine to lasagna.

    They have no clue whatsoever. Pasta water needs to be boiling aggressively almost boiling over and theirs was barely simmering. Furthermore pasta should be cooked in a lot of water 100g in 1 liter roughly and they need space, putting them in a sieve defeats the purpose. Pasta should be made with typo 00 flour, semolina (durum) or a mixture of both. Cake flour is for fine pastries (cake etc I mean it is in the name) but is unsuitable for pasta, pizza, bread etc. All purpose flour should not be used either. Come on Eater, you should do better than this! Any informed hobby cook should know better, never mind a cook/chef or a nonna.

    I used to hand roll and cut my pasta which had a nice bite but it's so much work. My mom got me a kitchen aid with pasta attachments for Christmas and I made spaghetti, it took me longer to mix the dough (prefer to mix by hand still) than it did to roll and cut the spaghetti (not including time I waited for the dough to rest a bit), I can't believe how easy it is to use, literally the hardest part is pushing the lever for speed settings because it's a bit firm, but whatever. I also got the shredding and slicing attachments, first time I've ever shredded cheese for pizza with a machine, so much cheese and NO hand cramps! I even shredded a bit more cheese than I needed, it was so fun and easy I got carried away. I intend to cherish the hell out of this equipment, amazing. Oh and by the way, egg pasta is for cut noodles like fettuccine and spaghetti, by if you want to make pressed or shaped pasta I think you need to make water based pasta without so many eggs, it's much soft like play dough, hence able to press and squeeze. Egg pasta is very strong because it's meant to be stretched, rolled and cut, not shaped and pressed. I haven't tried it myself because egg pasta is easy and I haven't had the courage to try shaped pastas yet but that's what I heard.

    AkeemDenim Yes of course I am familiar with semolina (fine ground wheat flour) for the use in pasta. The idea of blending in 10-20% rice flour with this was learned from my step-sicilian grandmother back in the sixties, and also continued in the Italian cuisine classes taken back in the 1970's. Maybe it is something that isn't as popular now a days. But learning how to make pasta from native born Italians back then the inclusion of some rice flour the way it was brought back from China by Marco Polo was still included.. Cake flour (or very finely ground durham wheat) can be used as a substitute, but then you have the problem of the pasta not having the right texture after being cooked, especially when being as poorly done as demonstrated in this video.

    there is a third kitchenaid pasta attachment. it's the meat grinding attachment. it has different dies to get the different shapes. i have the same thing for the oster kitchen center. i don't know about kitchenaid, but the oster attachment has recipes for the pasta doughs with variations based on they type of noodle being made. they aren't all the same even if they're coming out of the same machine. it takes practice. the first dough is too thick for the extruder. the pasta needs to move around while being cooked. sitting in the strainer it's just sitting in a bath. it's like these two have never cooked before.

    The problem is because of your dough. You don’t add cake flour to pasta dough. The baking powder in the cake dough causes the flour to expand and that is why the hole was closing up on the bucatini and the rigatoni seemed to be very doughy. You should have had a real Italian demonstrate the machine or at least make the dough, plus, I make bucatini by hand. When you roll your dough you use a small dowel or I use a wire.

    I have the extruder and it has a recipe book. If you had used that recipe instead of your own i think all of the issues of the slowness would be fixed. Please do a new view review and use the recipes in the included book. On some of them your objection was that the pasta didn't taste right. Well isn't that because of your recipe? If you used the recipe that is in the book and said that then i could say "Ok that is not a good recipe". If you do more like this maybe use whats in the book and your own to see which works better and which taste better. Using your own recipe and then saying its sucks is not a true review.

    A tip for extruder. Soon as starts coming out & able to cut, CUT with cutter to allow it to start making the pasta, then cut again for correct length. Another tip, gotta get dough right, & suggest double zero (00) for extruded pasta, imo, if want some good pasta. Otherwise, forget the extruder & just go with cutters (by hand or with machine). Cheers

    You probably should have studied how to use the spaghetti and fettuccine cutters because I just used them and they were NOT ‘slow’. If your noodles weren’t the same size that’s a dough issue, probably because you didn’t run it through the flat attachment enough to evenly knead it.

    adw311 I agree with you. Also I just watched a video on the extruder, someone who actually knew how to use it, it looked easy and what I observed is the previous video the woman had the mixer going much faster, these two just do not know how to properly use it. I was turned on to this extruder by a professional chef and he told me he uses it all the time at home which strongly suggested this unit to me. Also, the previous video she had a very well round shaped dough about the size of a walnut, these two dropped in crap shaped dough, sorry you two are not a good example representation for a review.

    It is cheaper to buy an Atlas pasta machine. It also has has an electric crank attachment that will fit their ravioli maker. But I do agree, that making ravioli by hand either by using a cutting wheel or ravioli mold is much faster. Their are crank type extruders out there as well. I own 3 pasta machines, 2 are extruders, one electric and one manual. And why didn't you use semolina flour? That is why the texture is off.

If you notice in the video she is using speed 10. If you are not busying a product the way it is supposed to be used, it will not perform correctly.
