Emeril Lagasse Pasta & Beyond, Automatic Pasta and Noodle Maker with Slow Juicer - 8 Pasta Shaping Discs Black

This machine really surprised me, because I wasn’t expecting much at this price. It delivers more than expected. Really easy to use - follow exact measurements - pasta came out looking a little dry looking at first, so I added a splash of extra olive oil and a splash of water and then the rest of the pasta looked smooth and basically perfect. Kid loved the taste. I used 00 Italian flour. Easier to clean than expected. It’s worth the $ just for the pasta maker… and I still have to try the juicer, meat grinder, slicer and frozen treat maker…great value, highly recommended.

I'm sooo in love with this product! I can't wait to experiment with different flavors of pasta. I haven’t used the grinder, shredder/slicer, or the juicer/frozen treats attachments. But I don't have to, to know they'll be just as amazing as the paster maker. I'm happy to be able to make fresh, gluten free pasta as well. The clean up is super easy. The secret with dough is to never let it dry out before washing. Just get it over with by having a sink full of soapy water ready and voila!

Finally a multipurpose machine that does everything well! You can make pasta, ice cream, custom juice, grind meat and slice up everything that fits in it! Keep in mind, this is not for a restaurant kitchen and is complicated at first so don’t throw away the instructions. You will get lost. And follow the pasta recipes closely or you will make play-doh. One more thing… clean as you go or you will be stuck over the sink awhile. This is not one of those things you want to throw in the dishwasher, but that’s just me.

We love this machine. It's compact and doesn't take up too much space on the counter. Easy to use. Makes great pasta but I really like the meat grinder attachment. I am so tired of getting ground beef with bone chips. With the meat grinder I can now make my own ground meat from stew meat and no bone chips. I can also add bacon or pork, remove as much fat as I want for my hamburger patties, etc. I haven't tried the juicer or the ice cream attachment yet but I'm sure I will be just as happy. Sometimes you get a new kitchen appliance and it doesn't meet your expectations. This one does. We love it.

DO NOT PURCHASE Emeril Lagasse Pasta & Beyond The Emeril Lagasse Pasta & Beyond Automatic Appliance - Promises to make fresh pasta in your kitchen in minutes. To be honest, it did, the first time I used The Emeril Lagasse Pasta & Beyond Automatic Appliance. The issue is that I repeated the exact same process 3 more times and the machine failed to produce pasta - it simply stopped after the timer counted down to 0:00. The Emeril Lagasse Pasta & Beyond pasta machine mixed and kneaded the dough (the dough Amazon promotes Antimo Caputo Chefs Flour Italian Double Zero 00 - Soft Wheat for Pizza Dough, Bread, & Pasta</a>)that is frequently bought with the Pasta & Beyond Machine - which worked the first time I used the machine). The Emeril Lagasse Pasta & Beyond pasta machine mixed and kneaded the dough on the 2nd, third and fourth attempt but it would not extrude pasta - I opened a box of Cecco-Semolina-Pasta-Penne-Rigate to go with my homemade sauce and meatballs. The Emeril Lagasse Pasta & Beyond pasta machine is NOT AS SIMPLE as adding your favorite ingredients to flour, egg, oil and it DOES NOT consistently produce fresh, perfectly shaped pasta.

I cannot tell you how important it was for me to have YouTube when making recipes. While I do love this machine I had gone through so many batches of pasta using over half a bag of flour. I use to make by hand but machine is nice when you know.....feeling lazy. Videos sure did help with timing, tips and tricks. Great machine. When you are done using it I would recommend cleaning right away or taking apart and putting items within water so it does not harden as using the small pick tool that comes with it is tedious and can bend on you. Emerils website has video recipes however YT content creators have better step by step follow along. Great little machine.

I got this hoping it would make it easy to make homemade pasta but it really is not easy to use or to clean. I only used it once and the pasta did not come out well. It did not dispense well or even mix well. I ended up taking the dough out of the machine and rolling it out and cutting it myself.

I grew up making pasta with my mother. It is just something we did. This is so easy! I love this thing! Seriously! I was not sure about making the gelato with it, but my grandson asked me if we could try it. You make it and freeze it in ice trays. That was the part that bothered me. It is so smooth when it is finished. I will use it over and over again. I have made macaroni. Using the basic recipe, it did not turn out well, at first. Read the directions! I added a little water, half a table spoon at a time, just like the directions say to do, until it was perfect. Again, just read the directions. It has, so far for me, worked every time. This thing is amazing! I would highly recommend purchasing one. You won't regret it!
