Bronze die Fusilli A3 gigante from Pastidea - men's version The fusilli for the real guy. Due to its large size, the pasta really looks great on the plate. This pasta size is particularly appreciated by men, while we graceful women are usually drawn to the smaller fusilli formats :-) But it is as always: exceptions prove the rule :-) One of the most famous pastas in Germany is fusilli. They are often called Spirelli, Rotini and rarely Eliche. The word fusilli comes from the Italian word “fuso”, which means spindle. In manual fusilli production, spaghetti is still wrapped around a spindle. According to legend, fusilli were invented at the court in Florence around 1550. The cook's son sat under the kitchen table and played with fallen pasta scraps that he wrapped around a knitting needle. These were the first fusillis. Not quite as clear, but much more likely, is the story that the Fusillis originated in southern Italy. At some point, spaghetti began to be rolled up in a spiral for drying, as this rotation made it much easier to dry and store. What is undisputed is that the twists mean that the sauce combines particularly well with the pasta. Fusillis are easy to dry. Fusillis are available with 2, 3 or 5 wings. You can see how many propeller blades the Fusilli has by the die shape and also the die name. Ie a Fusilli A2 has two wings, an A3 has 3 wings, an A5 has 5 wings. With an adapter, the die can be used in many pasta machines, e.g. Philips Pastamaker Avance, Philips Viva, KitchenAid, Simac, Ariete, Unold, La Fattorina, Firmar, TR50, Häussler, Korngold, Omega Why bronze: Bronze matrices were the traditional way of making pasta. The pasta made “al bronzo” can only be found rarely and usually only in selected delicatessens. By pressing the pasta dough through the bronze dies, the surface of the pasta is slightly roughened and the pasta becomes more grippy. This allows the pasta to absorb the sauce, flavors and spices better later. Recipe: It is recommended to use durum wheat semolina, sufficiently cold liquid such as water and/or egg. The dough should be kneaded for about 8-10 minutes so that the gluten from the durum wheat can fully develop. The result should be a moist, crumbly dough. We recommend the following standard recipe for our matrices: Ingredients: 250 g durum wheat semolina or Semola rimacinata Select ONE of the following ingredients: 100 ml cold water or 110 ml liquid consisting of two eggs, the rest of the water, lightly whisked Instructions: Please only use cold liquids . Avoid flour, replace it with semolina. Use binding agents such as xanthan gum, gluten, etc. only to a limited extent, a maximum of 1 teaspoon per 500 grams of dry ingredients. Otherwise the dough will be too firm and the dies could break. If you knead the dough for longer or let it rest, the gluten will develop on its own. You can recognize a good pasta dough by the fact that it is moist and crumbly. The production of gluten-free pasta is also possible with the matrices. Storage: Do you have several bronze matrices and are you looking for storage to protect the matrix from dust and darkening due to the effects of light? Then we recommend our storage systems, which you can also find in our range. Sustainability: The format of the pastide matrices was originally designed for the Kenwood Pastafresca. By using reducing rings, the bronze matrices can be used on almost all other common pasta machines. All you need is an adapter that fits the machine. This means that even if over time the pasta machine is replaced by a different model due to a defect or for other reasons: the bronze die remains and can continue to be used in the future. Please note: Please note that the matrices may have small dark spots due to the material and production. This is due to the material and does not affect the function in any way. The matrices are not dishwasher safe. Should be dried immediately after cleaning to avoid water stains.
