KitchenAid KSMPRA 3-pc Pasta Roller/Cutter Set for KitchenAid Stand Mixers

My husband originally purchased this for me for Christmas through a local retailer - but we think we got someone else's used product because it had dried pasta crumbs in it AND the rods on the bottom side of the flat roller was tarnished. So we took the item back to trade it for another one, and the other one's rods were nicked up - they should be smooth. So we just got a refund then I took a chance and ordered a replacement here on Amazon - wish he'd have just purchased it thru Amazon in the first place! The pasta rollers arrived in beautiful condition! I have never used one of these before, so learning was pretty easy - I just watched a few videos on youtube after reading the instructions. Watching others demonstrate the product was very helpful, and my first batch came out perfect - although I used a vegan recipe and the noodles came out slimey. So the next time around I used the egg recipe but not the one recommended because it is a pain in the hind-parts to decipher - and if you purchase this, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's the recipe that kitchenaid put in their booklet. So I found a very similar recipe at allrecipes - same exact ingredients but measured slightly differently - and viola! Egg noodles and happy husband! (Because this thing is expensive and so he was hoping to get his money's worth. LOL!) There are so many positives to making your own pasta at home, and this thing makes it so easy that it's almost a sin. I almost feel guilty for not rolling the pasta out with a rolling pin and using a knife to cut the noodles the way my mother and grandmother did. LOL! Anyway, I make tons of pasta and what I don't cook up fresh, I dry on a parchment lined cookie sheet in my oven at about 170 degrees F for a total of about 30 minutes or so - After 20 minutes I turn them and give them 10 or so more minutes - depending on thickness. Then I put them in a ziplock bag and store them in my freezer. I have read that they will stay good on the shelf for a while, but since they contain egg, I don't want to take the chance. So anyway, I love this thing! It's easy to use! Only problem is that you need a little patience to clean up - I tend to brush the crumbs off right away and wipe it down real good and really work on getting flour out of the crevices - I use the brush they provide and a toothpick for detailing, but you really need to let these air-dry for a couple of hours first, and I like to clean things up and put them away right away or else I get distracted and forget about them. So this is the only thing that I don't like, but really that's a personal problem. So buy this and enjoy the heck out of it. You won't be sorry!

I love this product. I make my own pasta at home now, including lasagna. I no longer need to buy store-bought pasta full of additives. Now I can make my own pasta naturally at home. Very easy to use, extremely strong, and durable. I’ve used it several times and have never had any problems. Just one tip: if you are going to run it at a faster speed, be careful not to leave too little flour around the dough. Otherwise, the dough may stick or get caught while passing through. Versatility, several thickness

I have owned my Kitchenaid stand mixer for over 30 years and always wanted the pasta attachment. I actually owned a stand alone extruder style electric pasta maker but it was a pain to use and to clean. The Kitchenaid order arrived quickly (yay Amazon Prime!!) and I couldn't wait to try it out. I followed the instructions included with the attachment exactly to make my first batch of pasta using the recipe in the manual. It was unbelievably easy to both roll the pasta sheets and to cut the sheets. I made both spaghetti and fettucine. I also purchased the Kitchenaid pasta drying rack which I used to hang my pasta while I cut more pasta. For this first trial I really wanted to make a dish that showcased the actual pasta, so I made a simple "sauce" of olive oil, parsley, basil, mint, thyme, pepper, and crushed red pepper. I blanched some sugar snap peas to toss with the al dente cooked pasta and herb mixture. I then topped it all with some freshly grated parmesan. The pasta was absolutely delicious. There just is no comparison with the store bought dried or fresh pasta. Clean up was a breeze. I simply allowed the rolling and cutting attachments to sit for about an hour and then brushed off the crumbs of pasta and flour, wiped with a soft dry towel and packed it all up for the next use. The actual attachments are very heavy steel. They appear to be well made. Attaching everything to my Kitchenaid was a snap once I was finally able to remove the attachment screw. I'm going to check to see if Kitchenaid sells some sort of knob to place over the screw to make it easier to tighten and loosen. That was actually the hardest part of the entire experience. I ended up using pliers over a towel to loosen the screw. Today, I am making a lemon pasta and can't wait to see how it turns out. If you are a serious pasta lover and have a Kitchenaid, don't make the mistake I made by waiting 30 years to get this attachment. I absolutely love it!

I can only speak to my personal experience with these machines. Maybe this will be helpful to someone wondering what they are getting themselves into before they buy. the fit and finish of these pasta machines is very impressive to me. for the price I think people should expect a certain level of quality but the way things are made today, a higher price or a name brand doesn't always mean quality like it used to. I was in the market for machines to fit my new mixer and I saw these were on offer for a deal. I am glad I did. full price for these would be putting me to other options that are readily available. even the sale price was a bit higher than the others, but I went ahead and bought the name. as far as use goes, I am a learner at pasta. I am not that good *yet* but I am getting the hang of it. I have not used the spaghetti attachment yet, only the fettucini and the roller. I need to do similar pastas as I experiment until I find the dough formula that gives the best flavor and texture. I have made some pretty good noodles but I still have a few issues and part of those issues are machine related. the roller is fine. no issues. no problem with clean up. no problems at all. pat out the dough. flour it. roll it. flour it. roll it again. flour it. keep going until you get the sheet size you need. right? perfect. no sticking at all. CUTTING on the other hand, is where I am having problems. I don't think its a machine issue as much as I don't know how well enough yet and the learning curve is pretty steep. no matter how great the dough feels, the sheets feel, the amount of flour I keep them dusted with... the noodles will inevitably stick and bunch up making a clump that i need to manipulate and pull to get them to go through. I am certain that I am doing it wrong. even watching several youtube videos of other people doing it... it very well COULD be the machine but I am inclined to blame myself first. I just had a pasta rack delivered in hopes that I roll out the sheets and hang them up to let them dry a bit before trying to cut. if it doesn't work I'll need to try something else. its frustrating to need to start over and re sheet the dough then cut it again. lol especially when every one else can tap it with a magic wand and make the sparkles go, then present perfect pasta. along with this issue, I believe that I have a bit of dry pasta inside the cutter machine that rattles around when I shake it. I am not sure how to get it out. when I search "cleaning" I get "repair" videos that show disassembly and that's not what I want unless that's the only way. I dont want to get into a can of worms with either disassembly or a warranty claim because I cant make my pasta not stick to the rolling cutters. : / I'm going to win this thing. I just need practice. Maybe if you read what I am going through, you can have a similar experience and know that you are not alone in this thing. I'm in this well over 600 bucks because <redacted> virus distancing and honestly, its better to make fresh food out of real ingredients than buying premade processed everything. Its good to know things and I plan to come out on the other side of this with a ton of new skills.

When I first got this set, I got cold feet about actually using it. The promotional video makes it look so easy, and I suddenly doubted it could be that easy. While probably some of the more elaborate KitchenAid attachments don't work as well as the original standalone items they're designed to replace, I'm happy to say that the pasta roller and cutter set is a beautifully simple extension of the stand mixer, that takes all the sweat out of a formerly laborious task, turning a chore into a pleasure. I've tried various pasta recipes and was successful each time. If the dough reaches the proper consistency to go through a manual machine, it will go through this one. Even the gluten-free recipe I made for a friend, which had a scary thick playdough-like texture while it was being kneaded, went through both roller and cutter without a hitch and gave me beautiful vegetable-colored fettucine. It just worked like a charm. Prepping the dough properly is key, just as it would be with a manual machine. Use the right proportions of water and flour, knead the dough until it's tacky and smooth (not sticky), and form an evenly thick, evenly shaped dough square before putting it in. Then, and this is the biggest necessity, FLOUR IT WELL and don't skip re-flouring as needed so it doesn't stick. You don't need to push the dough through the machine; just gently guide your well-floured dough into contact with the roller bars, and it will glide in and through. The first time I used the cutters, I felt like a kid seeing a magic trick for the first time. After spending some minutes rolling out the dough, suddenly I had handfuls of perfect spaghetti and fettucine. I filled up my drying rack very quickly and it couldn't have been easier. The great thing about using this set is that you have BOTH hands free to handle the dough! No turning the crank with your right and trying to control your lengthening dough strip with the left. If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer, there is really no reason to use a hand crank for pasta. Having this set is another reason now to keep my mixer on the counter - it gets used so often. I also use the roller by itself for rolling out wafer-thin crackers. If you like to make crackers, you know that the hard part is getting the dough thin and even enough so they bake up crispy and are done evenly. I had lots of batches I wasn't satisfied with, even though I'm used to rolling out cookie dough with precision. The first time I tried the pasta roller for crackers, they were good enough to serve to company! Just for this, I can't recommend it highly enough. If you make crackers and aren't interested in making pasta, you can also buy just the pasta roller by itself (for less than half the price of the roller/cutter set) and get a huge amount of use out of it. But once crackers become so easy, you you might just find that you get interested in pasta too.

I love this attachment. It is wonderful quality and I use it all the time. It helps do the most time consuming part of making pasta. The only downside I would say is you can’t really clean it. But overall it is good quality and I would recommend!

I'm an enthusiast level cook. Also Italian and I've been making pasta with a manual machine for...decades! I don't know what I've been waiting for to getting an attachment for my KA 7 quart mixer. This attachment is nothing short of excellent. First, forget all the... foolish reviews that cite difficulty in cleaning. Neither the rolling or cutting units require ANY cleaning other than maybe blowing an wiping with a dry towel. The trick - and I'm just guessing what people are doing wrong - is to make a slightly moist mix of approximately 100 grams flour and 60 grams combined eggs and water. This is also a good amount per person. If you have big sons that eat three helpings, you'll have to double the amount! After a few minutes of kneading it should be plastic almost like silly putty, maybe a bit more resistant. Be sure to rest it at least 30 minutes. I always used the one handful/one egg like my momma used to do. This resulted in dough that was usually too dry. If you don't have a scale, get one. Anything involving flour needs to be weighed! The last advice is to flour the dough at every pass and flour after the last pass. 7 is a good thickness for fettuccine. I love a good 1/2" hand cut pappardelle: just fold the slabs and cut by eye. a slight irregularity is wonderful. I recommend this for smaller quantities as it's much more time consuming I was amazed at the solid, heavy unit. The fit and finish is great and the mount (for all the attachments) is nothing less than superb. My "production" speed without having to turn the handle with one hand and feed with the other is fabulous! I wish I had done this years ago. Don't hesitate! Buy the real KitchenAid version! One final hint. When cutting the pasta: place a cutting board under the cutter and move it a couple of inches after every 12-14" slab is cut. I take a handful of flour with one hand and feed the sheets of dough with the other. Dust each pile of fettuccine lightly as you go: feed, dust, move the cutting board and repeat. (I was a manufacturing engineer is another life). PS I don't own stock in, nor was I paid by Kitchen Aid - LOL - Enjoy! PS AP flour will work fine, or a fine Duram flour, 00 flour. Any artisan bread flour is perfect. And do yourself a favor and buy organic. Check out Central Milling. Whole wheat will work, but it's not as delightfully decadent in mouth feel.

This KitchenAid attachment set is the real deal with authentic quality finishing. They work very well with our tilt mixer. The fit to the mixer is perfect. This is important as some knock-offs don't fit well to the mixer and may cause damage to parts. The pasta roller does its work effortlessly and gives the perfect sheet of the desired thickness. The cutter is sharp and gives very even and clean cut strings of pasta that don't stick together. Lastly, can't say enough about the quality of the set. So glad to have paid slightly more for a quality set that really works instead of settling for less expensive versions.

As with everything made by KitchenAid, this attachment set is absolutely worth it. You can tell there was real care put into the manufacturing and design. The pieces are made of strong, sturdy metal and function smoothly without any hiccups. Attaching and removing them from my stand mixer is quick and effortless, and once they’re in place, they work flawlessly. The rollers create perfect sheets of pasta, and the cutters make clean, even noodles every time. It’s so much easier than using a hand-cranked machine or struggling with a rolling pin. The box even includes a handy cleaning brush to help keep everything free of flour and dough after each use! Yes, the price is a bit higher than some off-brand versions, but in my experience, the premium is absolutely justified. The native compatibility with my KitchenAid mixer and the undeniable quality make this set a fantastic long-term investment for anyone who enjoys making fresh pasta at home.

安価な物もたくさんありこの価格でちょっと迷いましたが、他のモールを検索するともっと高いです。 届いてみてその重さにびっくりしました。やっぱり頑丈に作ってあります。 キッチンエイドに取り付けてみてもガタなど無くしっかり装着できました。 ローラーもカッターもとてもスムーズに動作します。何度かパスタを作りましたが、固いデュラムセモリナ粉のパスタも楽々伸ばしてくれます。使い勝手はとても良いです。

Me parecieron excelentes, funcionan perfectamente y se montan muy firmemente en la batidora. Dan muy buenos resultados

So easy to use - much easier than a manual model.
