POM is the abbreviation for polyoxymethylene, a guaranteed food-safe plastic. This is exactly the same material that is used in the Philips pasta maker matrices.

POM has the advantage that it doesn't weigh much and you can put the matrices in the dishwasher for cleaning.
Please note that the matrices are manufactured using micro milling. This is a complex process that enables delicate shapes. But small scratches from production and minor chips may be present, these are inevitable when using POM.
It is always advisable to add a little more liquid than your pasta machine indicates and to only use cold liquids. The dough should be moist and crumbly.

We recommend the following standard recipe for our matrices:

Ingredients:

250 g durum wheat semolina or Semola rimacinata

Choose ONE of the following ingredients:

100 ml cold water or
110 ml liquid consisting of two eggs, the rest of the water, lightly whisked

Step-by-step instructions for breastfeeding with the emeibaby carrier:

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 matrices can also be used to produce gluten-free pasta.

Immerse yourself in the world of your own pasta production with your palate friends. The taste of fresh homemade pasta is incomparably good.

What else should you know?

It happens again and again that there are people who switch from the tube pasta attachment to the Philips Pastamaker Avance. In this case we have good news. You can continue to use this matrix and the other KA matrices in this section. All you need is an adapter, which you can also find in our range.

Please note that this shape differs slightly from the diameter of the KitchenAid dies. This small change makes them more versatile.
