Imperia Ipasta Roller with Tagliatelle and Fettuccine Cutters, 6-inch

Very good product at a very reasonable price! It's a sturdy product and you can immediately tell that durability won't be an issue from the weight and feel of it. The sheeter rolls out the required thickness consistently, and the pasta cutters work perfectly.

This is a great product and I can say so after many months of usage, by now. I was delighted when the vendor called within few days of delivery, to take my feedback and most importantly, he gave nice tips to care for the product. One of the important care instruction he gave is asking me to use the product at least once or twice in a month, so that the product will continue to be in good working condition.

Product is excellent quality wise its MOC and performance. I am satisfied

I originally had a problem with the piece I was sent. It was clearly used by someone before I was sent it. I was very upset and wrote a scathing review on Amazon.in accordingly. Subsequently I was contacted by a Mr. Vaswani at New India, the importer, and he resolved the issue to my satisfaction so I have fixed my review accordingly. I have deducted one star because the mounting system requires a deeper "shelf" on your counter-top that my kitchen doesn't have, so we cannot mount this unit on the counter-top and have to manually hold on to it while we turn the handle to make the pasta. This makes it a two person affair and the unit still moves about a bit. Otherwise happy with it, it does the job fine, and thanks to Mr. Vaswani for fixing my issue. *thumbs up for customer service*

You can feel the weight. It is expensive in terms of Rs. But a good solid product. Once you get hooked on to the fresh pasta, you never go back to the store bought dry pasta. You have to make sure it is kept away from any moisture. The pasta dough is just one egg + one cup flour. Absolutely no water. Use flour generously to make sure it doesn't stick to the machine. After you are done, clean it with a dry cloth. No water.

Very good and easy to use

works like a charm. No awkwardness and was very stable on my counter.

I received a fake Marcato pasta roller instead of an Imperia

Before purchasing this product I read many reviews on this website and others - most positive, but some rather scathing and decided that the only way to truly find out was to give it a try! This little machine is absolutely fantastic. It is a weighty piece of equipment, once fastened to the work surface (with the supplied clamp) I have found it to be very secure, no unsteadiness and extremely sturdy. Pasta rolls out evenly until the required thickness is achieved. Changing the roller depth is very easy - I had some concerns regarding the management of the machine whilst winding with one hand and thereby having just one hand free to guide the pasta - but those concerns have proved to be unfounded. I work at my pace with the machine and have had success every time! I would suggest that anyone purchasing this product who has never made pasta dough before does a little research into pasta recipes. I tried the recipe in the instruction booklet and it wasn't to my liking; fortunately it didn't go entirely to waste because I used it to clean the machine from the inevitable oil traces left from manufacture. To make my dough I use 110grams of 00 Flour to 1 large egg, but since egg sizes vary and we are all individuals with differing tastes/expectations, experiment to find your perfect pasta. The instruction booklet has very limited information but in all honesty you don't need a degree to operate this equipment! I have used this little machine that does such a great job almost every day, my cupboards once full of various types of dried pasta are now cleared - no more shop bought pasta. The results speak for themselves, lovely silky slightly al-dente pasta with all manner of sauces and fillings. My only regret - I didn't buy one sooner!

works great, but you can find an electrical one for less than that price

Ich habe mich für die Imperia entschieden und bereue es nicht. Kleine und kompakte Maschine mit einem sehr guten Gewicht. Man muss die Schraube nicht bombenfest anziehen damit sie nicht wackelt. Die Imperia glänzt schön und lässt sich auch mit einem weichen Tuch und einem Pinsel toll reinigen. Die sechs Stufen der Walze reichen vollkommen aus um den Teig geschmeidig und hauchdünn zu bekommen. Die Kurbel muss man schon exakt einsetzten, ansonsten fällt sie andauernd heraus, bekommt man aber schnell ins Gefühl. Ebenso die Technik mit dem Zusammenlegen des Teiges ist reine Übungssache. Der mitgelieferte Aufsatz/Vorsatz ermöglichtes 2mm und 6,5mm breite Nudeln zu machen. Er schneidet sehr gut und genau. Das Reinigen geht wieder leicht von der Hand. Ich hab mir auch gleich noch weitere Aufsätze/Vorsätze bestellt und kann somit ein großes Sortiment an Nudeln herstellen. Meine Befürchtungen, dass es schwieriger ist als gedacht und auch sehr zeitaufwändig sein wird, haben sich bei der ersten Verwendung schon in Luft aufgelöst. Von nun an gibt es bei uns nur mehr selbst genudelte Pasta. Fazit: Kleine feine Maschine, einfach und schnelle Bedienung und Reinigung. Viele Aufsatz/Vorsatz Varianten und das alles zu einem vernünftigen Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. -- volle Kaufempfehlung --

I love this little machine! I kindled the Artisan Pasta Making book and couldn't wait for my machine to arrive. I combined the recipe from this book with Lidia's (using semolina, durum and all-purpose flour, but with the addition of olive oil) using my food processor (what a dream - zip and it's done) and let the dough rest while I waited for my machine to arrive. I've never made home-made pasta before so I was a little concerned re my first try. The pasta maker was extremely easy to use - absolutely no problem - I fed the dough in while my four-year-old cranked the handle. We had tremendous fun together and....it was absolutely the best pasta we had ever eaten, served simply with olive oil, melted olive oil margarine, sliced sautéed garlic, broccoli covered with parmesan cheese - everybody loved it! Can't wait to try out the exotic colourful pasta recipes - with wholewheat, beets, or squash, or spinach, not to mention ravioli, tortellini, etc. You can even make wanton, pot stickers, and pierogie. I haven't tried any other machines, but this one certainly does a great job for me.

La Imperia es una máquina clásica para facilitar el alisado y corte de la pasta casera. Es sólida y robusta y su fijación a la mesa aporta seguridad al trabajar con ella. Para hacer la pasta basta con mezclar un huevo con 100 gramos de harina (yo suelo usar 3/4 de harina de fuerza y 1/4 de harina normal tamizadas). No se recomienda poner sal en esta mezcla porque puede perjudicar a la máquina (mejor ponerla en el agua al cocer la pasta), ni tampoco aceite (crea una capa que impide que el gusto de las salsas penetre adecuadamente en la pasta). Se amasa un buen rato, se envuelve en film plástico transparente y se deja reposar entre media hora y una hora. Después se aplasta un poco con las manos y se pasa por el rodillo en su posición más ancha cuatro o cinco veces. Luego ya vamos reduciendo poco a poco el grosor. Los rodillos aplanan la masa sin dificultad aunque no recomiendo el nivél más fino a no ser que el objetivo sea hacer fideos para sopa. La máquina cuenta con un accesorio que es una especie de bandeja que se acopla en la parte superior para evitar tener que sujetar la plancha de pasta con la mano mientras se va aplanando o a la hora de realizar el corte. Para limpiar la máquina y los rodillos utilizar un trapo humedecido.
