Oxo SteeL Spaghetti Server Review

Amazon asked me to review this item, but even though i was charged for it it never arrived. I am an amazon prime member and i make thousands of dollars of purchases a year, and most go smoothly, but when it was time to try and report an item that shows in the system as 'shipped' but never made it to my home - well, then you see the entire amazon store is automated and nobody to talk to if there is a problem. The 'call back' feature from customer service has failed, and the special complaint form also had a technical glitch after multiple return visits to the site. For this low of a price it is not worth the agony - but i am hoping SOMEBODY at Amazon may read this and come to the rescue. Maybe Amazon Prime members deserve to get an 800# we can call where a person actually picks up the phone???

Oxo SteeL Spaghetti Server Overview

Sturdy, comfortable, and endowed with sleek good looks, this pasta server has it all. Fettucine and linguine don't stand a chance against this beauty.

Oxo SteeL Spaghetti Server Specifications

With its working end shaped like a pronged bowl, this 13-inch tool dips into a pot and comes up with a load of pasta while it drains the water away. Pasta strands drape through the prongs and don't clump together. Handsome enough to bring to the table, this pasta server dishes out long pastas more easily than does a spoon or fork. Oxo's Steel line is an all-stainless-steel variant of the company's familiar fat-handled Good Grips line. Rather than being straight-sided, this tool's handle is tapered from heel to finger grip and has satin-finish, stainless-steel panels top and bottom. The handle's sides feature the same design as those in the Good Grips line--they're made of soft processed rubber for comfort, with "fins," or grooves, that flex under pressure, conforming to individual finger grips and providing control when handles are wet or slippery. Like all Oxo tools, this pasta server is dishwasher-safe; a hole in its handle facilitates hanging on a hook or peg. --Fred Brack

CucinaPro 150-06 Imperia Products Round Spaghetti Pasta Attachment 8-in. Review

Why didn't I buy this sooner??? I did a ton of research before purchasing the Imperia Pasta Machine. I decided on this particular machine because of the large number of positive reviews on this site and others as well as an in-person testing of products at Crate & Barrel and Williams-Sonoma. I have now been using it several times a week for a few months.

This machine is very well built and sturdy. I think that you could run over it with a dump truck and it wouldn't get a scratch on it. It is pretty heavy once the fettuccine attachment is on there, so make sure that it is clamped down tight. You will need a pretty significant lip on your counter for the clamp to fit properly (I'd say about at least 1.5-2 inches). I do not believe that this machine will work properly without the clamp (it will slide all over the place), so take this into consideration. I also believe that there is a Good Eats episode where Alton Brown screws or clamps his pasta roller onto an ironing board, so it is possible to use another surface. :)

The simple formula in the manual is quite tasty. Like other reviews have said, it cannot be sticky or the stickiness will transfer to the machine. It should be dry enough to look like it's wrong (which is very hard if you are a bread baker!). For the first run-through, the 1 lb of dough was more than enough to get rid of all of the grease/metal/residue. Just make sure that you roll the dough totally across all of the surfaces because I found the majority of the grease to be on the sides.

The dough rolls smoothly through each setting. One thing that I wish I could change would be the dial. I find it fairly tricky to do with one hand and I usually end up draping the dough over my arm while I use two hands to change the dial settings. It's not that big of a deal and I just make sure to wash my arm before starting. I have not made any other types of pasta dough other than egg, so I cannot comment on how sticky the dough would be with the addition of spinach or tomatoes.

All in all, this a fantastic product that was built to last. Just remember to tighten the clamp... more than once I didn't screw it tight enough and the machine nearly fell off of the counter while I was turning the crank on the tougher low number settings. Be careful... rolling that darn dough is quite addicting!
