Atlas Original Italian Pasta Machine, Stainless Steel Review
Bought the 180 yesterday. As this is my first pasta maker, I planned to spend all afternoon in Pasta Laboratory, but the first batch was good, the second better, the third (which was dinner, tossed with Marcela Hazan's pink shrimp sauce with cream) perfect. Just be patient and careful about adding flour to your eggs---you want just enough to keep the dough from sticking to your hands and counter as you knead, and not a dash more. I found I needed to add a bit of flour now and again as I kneaded. Ignore precise flour-to-egg ratios, as the amount of flour required will depend on the size and temp of your eggs, the humidity in your kitchen, and the nature of your flour. Go by touch.
If making the dough is easy, this machine makes the rest idiot-proof (just remember that if you've rolled the pasta on the thinnest setting, it will cook in two minutes or less). It's heavy, attractive, and well-made. I fully expect to leave it to charity or a child when I depart. But do ignore Amazon's product title! The machine is not made of stainless still, and will not take kindly to water. Just sweep it with a basting brush reserved for the purpose.
