You can also add egg whites and/or yolks, water or pureed fruits or vegetables.
The pasta can be air dried by spreading it out on a clean towel or you can put it
in the oven at a very low temperature of 40–50 °C.
Special pasta drying racks are also available in stores.
Important: Hollow pasta varieties cannot be dried, because they will break while dry-
ing due to mechanical tension.
You can also use the pasta maker to make gnocchi, pastry dough or yeast dough.
In this case, do not exceed the maximum weight of 500 g for the ingredients.
If the pasta dough sticks to the lid of the pasta maker, you can carefully push the
dough down with a spatula through the two slits in the lid.
Dough not extruded from the pasta maker can be formed into a ball and sliced
with a vegetable cutter. These noodles are very good in soup.
How to cook pasta properly
You can cook pasta fresh or dried.
Cook pasta in boiling, salted water. Be sure there is enough water in the pot; you
should use 3 to 4 liters of water for 500 g of pasta. Pasta can also be cooked in
a clear broth or milk.
Drain the pasta and serve it with a sauce, if you like. The cooking time depends
on the type of pasta and your personal preference. Freshly made pasta is usually
done when it floats to the surface of the water.
CLEANING AND CARE
Before cleaning, switch off the appliance by setting both switches to OFF
and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
1.
Use the ring wrench to loosen and remove the sealing ring. If the sealing
ring is too tight, plug in the appliance and let it run on MIX for about twenty
seconds. This will reduce the tension on the sealing ring somewhat.
2.
Switch off the appliance and unplug it from the electrical outlet. Then
unscrew the sealing ring from the appliance.
3.
When loosening the sealing ring, make sure that the lid is tightly closed,
since otherwise the front cover of the mixing container will come off.
4.
Remove the lid from the mixing container.
5.
Turn the front cover counterclockwise and remove the mixing unit.
6.
Remove the kneader cover and the kneader from the feed screw axle.
7.
Remove the feed screw from the front cover.
