Customer Reviews of V178 AL DENTE 5 Piece Pasta Set
Customer Rating:  Summary: Works as advertised Comment: I was concerned about getting the V178 AL DENTE because of the negative reviews on Amazon but took the plunge since Amazon is great on handling returns. After having it for a week I've made several batches of pasta and I am very happy with the quality and functionality of the device. It took 3 batches before I got the hang of it, but recent batches have been turning out good. I'm guessing those with issues are putting too much in, not taking the time for practice runs or using dough that is too sticky. For someone, like me, that wants a pasta maker and knows it will only be used occasionally, the Price/Quality exceeds expectations. Customer Rating: Summary: Al Dente pasta set Comment: I love this machine. I always wanted to try my hand at making pasta and this machine is great. I have learned that making pasta is very time consuming, but I have already used it on three rainy Sundays and it is a fun thing to do if you are not in a hurry. The pasta looks great and tastes great as well. I've tried everything except the ravioli...that will be next. Pour yourself a nice glass of wine and take your time, you will have fun and be proud of your creations. I highly recommend this particular pasta maker! Customer Rating: Summary: Great product for the price Comment: After reading some of the reviews I was a bit hesitant on purchasing this item. I decided to take a chance because it was so affordable. I am so glad that I did. I read all the reviews and decided to purchase Pasta Tecnica as one other reviewer recommended. I read that the machine came filled with machine oil, so I planned on making lots of practice pasta that I would throw away. I made about six batches of pasta and just ran it through the pasta machine and the attachments. After that I had no problems with my pasta smelling or tasting like oil. My husband only likes spelt flour, so making my own spelt pasta is a very affordable alternative to buying spelt pasta. Not to mention that fresh pasta tastes delicious. Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT PRODUCT! Comment: After reading reveiews of this product I was a little reluctant to order it. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this product, it far surpassed my expectations. It was larger than I expected, heavier and sturdier too. I have never used or owned a pasta machine before. I took it out of the box, clamped it down to the counter. After mixing the dough I cranked it through the pasta machine. It was so easy! The only tiny inconveinence was finding through trial and error (this only took a minute to figure out) you must START at setting 7 and work to 1. But other than that I LOVE this machine. I made Fettucini Alfredo for Sunday dinner and everyone loved it! I can't wait to try the ravioli and spaghetti attachments. I also plan to use it to make my own whole wheat crackers. I love the fact that I can now make whole grain fresh pasta and control the quality ingredients: no additives, preservatives, coloring, egg whites instead of egg yolks, and the amount of sodium. I researched and priced other pasta machines for sale on the internet and this one, at this price with the attachments, is a GREAT buy! Customer Rating:  Summary: Works well if you use it right Comment: I got this pasta maker about 2 years ago and have used it 30-40 times. I had a lot of problems at first and blamed them on this "cheap" machine. This machine is made in China, not Italy. You certainly should buy an Italian machine if you want the best, but this machine works well enough for home use; and for the cost. I HIGHLY recommend Pasta Tecnica if you're having problems with making pasta with this machine. The book pretty much solved all my issues and I found out that most of the problems I blamed on this machine were my own doing. By the way, don't ever wash your pasta maker, get a clean paintbrush to clean it.

Choosing Appliance -> Whip / Whisk Many still consider a whip as a "gourmet" piece of kitchen equipment. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is as essential as a kitchen stove and should be in everyone's kitchen. Nothing works better for mixing a multitude of different preparations or for making sauces or gravy. Buy a solid stainless steel whip with moderately stiff wires. Very thin wires are for mixing delicate things like egg whites or whipped cream. Very thick, solid wires are for mixing stiff dough. Choosing Appliance -> Dishwasher Choose a dishwasher with sturdy compression springs in the door. Also look for tough, lightweight nylon or graphite racks with cushioned tips that protect glassware and cookware. Weimer recommends choosing a model with a rack design that provides the largest, most flexible interior space and is configured for your belongings, including odd-shaped pieces.

Kitchen tips -> Eggs Be sure eggs are fresh and cold when you have to separate the whites from the yolks. |
