Prime Pacific Stainless Steel Pasta Machine Review
I can see there is trememdous variability in the quality of this machine, as some can't use it at all due to mechanical failures, and others have no trouble at all with it. For myself, I have had no trouble using it at all. It has worked flawlessly for about 10 batches of pasta; sheets, spaghetti noodles, and flat noodles. I discovered through trial and error that one cup of flour, one egg and a couple tablespoons of milk makes enough pasta for one meal (6 servings). It also makes enough pasta to work with. More than that gets too big for one batch, I had to subdivide in order to work with it. Also, I discovered that thin sheets work great for lasagna, but if you leave it a bit thicker (3 or 4) it goes through the noodle cutters much better. The thinner sheets do not get cut very well in the noodle cutters. I can make up one batch of pasta in about 20 minutes, start to finish. Something else that is in the manual, that should be emphasized is, never wash the machine with water AT ALL. If you do, it will rust. Just brush off the extra flour and put it away.

Prime Pacific Stainless Steel Pasta Machine Specifications
Clamp this pasta machine to your counter or table edge, choose a setting, and you're ready to turn out fresh homemade pasta, literally. This is a pasta maker you crank by hand as you feed in your dough. Made of gleaming stainless steel, the machine's adjustable rollers press your dough into long, four-inch wide sheets in a choice of seven thicknesses. You can then cut the sheets into squares for making ravioli, or longer sections for lasagna. By sliding on the stainless-steel cutting attachment, you can extrude thin spaghetti or medium-width fettuccine noodles. And, for artists, the pasta machine works well as an extruder for polymer clay. After use, wipe the machine clean or run a damp paper towel or piece of felt through it. Remove the handle and clamp for compact storage. You'll never want to resort to buying dried, store-bought pasta again. A recipe booklet is included to get you started.
