POM Udon die for KitchenAid

1 die - 2 pasta formats: Udon and Pici

Udon:
Udon are noodles from Japanese cuisine that are prepared with water and flour. There are countless dishes to serve them. Some of them are eaten cold, some of them warm.
The udon noodle is often eaten in a broth, together with vegetables and/or meat, often also tofu.

Pici:
Pici is probably the most famous type of pasta from Tuscany. Similar to spaghetti but tenderer. These noodles are always eaten fresh. Many people also know the variety from Jamie Oliver; his Pici dishes have increased the popularity of Pici enormously in recent years.

Since Pici used to be eaten primarily by farmers, emphasis was placed on the simplest ingredients. Only flour and water go into the dough. Eggs were already considered too precious. But there is also a type of pici, the lunghetti, in which eggs have always been used in the dough.

Traditionally, each pici is rolled by hand. What kind of work. The die and the pasta maker really do a lot of the work for you.

A classic sauce for pici is ragout of any kind. But sauces with breadcrumbs fried in oil in a pan are also often found. Ie simple ingredients – and as is often the case, simple can also be particularly delicious.

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. You can find a standard recipe for our matrices here.

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 a one-time adapter here .

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