  1. Wilburpan, I've had mine for a couple of years and the non stick is as good as new, I only use the tool that came with it, never anything sharp. The mac & cheese slips right out of the bowl and clean up is slick. I am afraid you are doomed, I have a basic one too. It is still going after 25 years:-(

  2.  It's fun mushing the eggs and flour together. Brings out the lost kid in me!

    :sign5: , I bet it does. I use the same machine for doing the dough, the rolling and the cutting. The machine has only 3 rollers, the lasagna, the fettuccine and the tagliatelle. I did try the extruder accessory for macaroni but that really does tax the motor and I don't want to risk that just for macaroni :sad1:

  3. I'm getting ready for a batch of ckreef's baked spaghetti. First thing is to try out my new tagliatelle pasta roller.

     

    The dough for a small test batch:

     

    1 egg which weighed 60g. Mult. the weight by 1.5 to determine the amount of flour

    90g flour which was a 50/50 mix of semolina and all purpose flour

    pinch of salt

    0.5t olive oil

     

    Combine in blender adding just enough flour so that the dough is not sticky but not dry either.

    Cover and let rest for 30 mins. or longer.

     

    Roll into sheets and cut.

     

    This is the very first sheet of pasta to pass through my new roller/cutter:)

  4. Amen sister, also, you should see how folks in Texas look at you when you ask for white vinegar for your fries, similar to when you put ketchup on your eggs. The look is generally followed by "boy, you ain't from around here" and a slow shake of the head!

    We'll just keep it as our little secret :)

     

    Everyone knows that you put ketchup on hamburgers and mustard on hot dogs :)

  5. Made a different recipe today and I like. Added lard to the recipe. I think next time I'll try butter to see which I like better. The recipe can be found here:

     

    http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016122-almost-from-scratch-corn-tortillas

     

    Tip: Make the tortillas thin especially if they are going to be used for chips.

     

    After making the tortillas spray both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and whatever spices you'd like.

    Stack the tortillas.

    Cut into 6 wedges.

     

    Spread on baking sheet so that the wedges do not touch each other.

    Bake @350 F for about 20 mins.

    Be careful not to burn them.

     

    If need be sprinkle with more salt while they are still very hot.
