9 Helpful Tips
FLOUR
You may use many types of flour when making pasta with your
PASTA MAKER, including semolina pasta flour, all purpose or whole
wheat flour.
MAKING COLOURED PASTA
You can use any vegetable juice you like instead of water when
making homemade pasta. To achieve your desired colour of pasta,
use smaller eggs or remove some of the egg mixture so you can add
more juice to fill to the top of the Water Measuring Cup. Pour this
liquid into the appliance through the opening in the Lid and MIX for 3
-5 minutes.
DOUGH CONSISTENCY
Depending on the humidity, you may need to add additional flour or
liquid to your pasta dough to achieve the correct consistency.
If the pasta mix is too moist, add 1 Tbsp. of flour at a time through the
opening in the Lid as the unit is on MIX.
If pasta mix is too dry, add 1 Tsp. of liquid at a time to achieve the
desired consistency.
If the dough is too wet and becomes one large clump, it could push
open the Lid of the Mixing Container. If this happens, turn the unit
OFF and unplug, separate the dough and add flour.
If your pasta is sticking together, the dough is probably too wet. Add 1
Tbsp. of flour at a time. Additional water or flour may be sprinkled
through the opening of the Lid.
EXTRUDING PASTA
To extrude longer pasta, place the unit close to the edge of your
counter or table so the pasta can continue to flow toward the floor.
Cut at the desired length by running the back of a table knife flush
against the Pasta Die
Take care not to drop the appliance off the bench top.

COOKING FRESH PASTA
Cooking pasta "al dente", or firm and chewy, is preferred. Cooking
time will vary depending on the thickness of your pasta and personal
preference. Be careful to not overcook your pasta. Thinner pasta, like
spaghetti, takes as little as 30 seconds to a minute to cook. For 500
grams of pasta, cook in 4 to 6 litres of boiling, salted water and
remove immediately. Rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process.
10 How to Make Sausage
1. Fit the sausage horn in the locking ring and attach to the
appliance as described previously. Secure to the face plate with
the locking ring.
2. Slide a length of natural or synthetic sausage casing (up to 1
meter) over the horn, leaving about 50mm hanging at the end.
3. Prepare Meat: You can use ground or finely cut (up to 1cm cubed
chunks) of sausage meat, fish or poultry etc. but make sure it is
unfrozen, then with the appliance turned off, open the lid, add up
to 1Kg of the meat, fish or poultry and seasonings of your choice.
Adjust seasonings accordingly. Additional small amount of filler,
such as chopped, cooked vegetables or rice etc. also can be
added.
4. Fit and Close lid.
5. Add in (up to 1Kg) pre-cooked Vegetables such as rice, potatoes,
herbs, peas, corn, carrots etc. if required.
Cut vegetables. into small pieces first. NOTE: vegetables must
be cooked and soft.
6. Switch appliance to MIX and blend ingredients for 30 seconds.
Turn appliance OFF and let the motor fully stop.
7. Turn appliance to EXT and hold the twisted end of the sausage
casing firmly. As the ingredients are extruded it will begin to fill the
casing and will push away from the horn.

Page 15 of 26
When the casing has filled to the desired sausage length, hold the
sausage in place with one hand and detach the filled casing form
the horn and place the sausage on a flat surface.
To make the sausage into smaller sections of sausage, use your
forefinger of your other hand to compress sausage firmly into an
oval shape. This will reduce the amount of sausage in the casing
allowing you to press down hard with your forefinger ready for
twisting.
Wherever you want you first sausage length to be, twist the
sausage 3 times.
Continue these steps until all of your shorter lengths of sausages
are made.
To separate your sausages, use scissors to cut at the twists.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL CASING: meat and food expands
when heated and will split the casing.
To help relieve pressure inside sausage casing, use a toothpick to
poke a few holes in each of your sausage before cooking.
Ensure all surfaces and utensils that come in contact with the
sausage as it's being prepared are clean.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water often. Bacteria
thrives at room temperature.
Always keep meet cool and refrigerate as soon as possible.
DO NOT leave meat sitting out.
Keep your working area clean and uncluttered
