Bronze matrices (requires adapter)

Bronze tagliatelle die 8 mm. SPECIAL SIZE with openings only 0,8 mm thin, this is extremely thin. Tagliatelle are traditionally made with eggs in Emilia Romagna, Italy. The name comes from the Italian verb "tagliare", meaning "to cut". This means that tagliatelle are pasta cut into strips. Tagliatelle in general are always between 6 and 8 mm wide. In Italy they are more often found around 8 mm wide , in Germany usually around 6 mm wide. This means that this tagliatelle die with 8 mm is more like what you would find on holiday in Italy. While in Germany Bolognese is traditionally eaten as "Spaghetti Bolognese", in Italy it is traditionally eaten as a Bolognese sauce together with tagliatelle. Try it out! Attention, this item is a special size with openings that are only 0,8 mm thin. Tagliatelle, like those found in stores, are usually around 1 mm thick. You can find a 1 mm die that also offers a very good mouthfeel (not too thin, not too thick). here: https://www.gaumen-freun.de/shop/tr50/tr50-matrizen/matrize-aus-bronze-tagliatelle-8-mm/ Since some customers explicitly asked for a thinner tagliatelle die, we have included this special size of just 0,8 mm in the program. However, we would like to point out that 0,8 mm is very thin. Dispensing the noodles with such a die can take longer and be more difficult; the ingredients must not be too coarse so that they can pass through.   Pasta insert for Kenwood AT910, AX910, KAX910ME, PP510, KAX92.AO, KAX91.A0ME. With an adapter, the die can be used in many other pasta machines, e.g. Philips Pastamaker Avance, Philips Viva, KitchenAid, Simac, Ariete, Unold, La Fattorina, Firmar, TR50, Häussler, Korngold, Omega. The die is delivered together with a transparent transport protection box. Why bronze: Bronze dies 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 matrices, the surface of the pasta is slightly roughened at the same time, making the pasta easier to grip. This allows the pasta to better absorb the sauce, flavors and spices later on. Would you like to learn more about bronze matrices? Then we recommend this article to you here. Recipe: It is recommended to use durum wheat semolina, enough cold liquid such as water and/or egg. The dough should be kneaded for about 8-10 minutes, this is the only way the gluten from the durum wheat can fully develop. The result should be a moist, crumbly dough. You can find a standard recipe for our matrices here. The matrices can also be used to produce gluten-free pasta. Sustainability: The format of the Pastidea 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. 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. 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.
