Frustratingly, KitchenAid would not replace the broken stand mixer, even though the unit was damaged due to its own attachment’s instructions. And the manual’s instruction to operate the press on speed 10? That overheated the gears, causing our $450 stand mixer to irreparably break. The KitchenAid dough we made was too soft (its flour-to-egg ratio is off) and produced fusilli, macaroni, and bucatini with no definition or curve. Model: KSMPRA Price: $138.02 Accessories: Cleaning brush Thickness Settings: 8įirst of all, if you buy this attachment, you should ignore the included recipe and instructions.

Overall, the KitchenAid 3-Piece Pasta Roller & Cutter Set is a good option for those who have a KitchenAid stand mixer and would like a slightly faster, more automated way of making fresh pasta (albeit at more than double the price of our favorite manual pasta maker). However, we still got great gluten-free strands of fettuccine from both machines.
The speed of the roller attachment also caused some tears in the delicate gluten-free pasta dough sheets, which benefited from the more gentle touch of the hand-cranked machine. If we saw a fold in the pasta sheet while using the Marcato, we had time to fix it, so those new to or less confident with pasta making might be better off with the manual model. We had to be sure to feed the sheets of dough straight through the roller, as they had a tendency to process sideways, producing sheets with unwanted folds or jagged edges. The downside? The automated speed of the attachments required more attentiveness. These KitchenAid attachments are also good options for those with countertops that are too thick to properly anchor the Marcato with its adjustable clamp. Because the roller and the cutters are suspended from the mixer above the countertop, it was easy to feed dough into them with one hand and catch the sheets or cut pasta strands with the other-a task that takes some practice when using the hand-cranked Marcato model. It was simple to attach the roller and cutters to the machine and easy to change the thickness settings of the roller.
Both the sheets and the strands that the attachments produced were on par with the pasta made with the Marcato. The roller attachment had fewer thickness settings than the Marcato (eight versus ten), but the cutters made fettuccine and angel hair up to 4 minutes faster than the Marcato model.
