POM matrix Ringtails / Fusilli Bucati for Philips Avance

Traditionally, this very special noodle shape was wrapped around a knitting needle, which is why it is also called a spiral noodle. Fortunately, the matrix takes care of this work for us. The “Bucato” in the name comes from buco / hole, meaning this noodle is a tube noodle with a hole, but in shape it is spirally wrapped like a fusilli.
In this country the matrix is ​​often referred to as “Ringelschwänzchen”, “Sauschwänzle” or “Goldilocks” 🙂

Attention: This die is one of the most complicated ever developed for the pasta maker. A perfect dough is therefore important.
Please pay attention to the following information:
– Please add a little more liquid than the pasta maker specifies – if the dough is too dry for the die, the pasta maker would have to work too hard, which could result in the die breaking.
- Please do not use flour with this die, only semolina or semolina - flour has the property that it wants to bring the ingredients together to form a kneading dough, then the dough is no longer crumbly, it clogs the outlets, slows down the output and in the worst case can break the die
– Please only use cold liquids. Warm liquids cause the dough to swell, then it is no longer crumbly, the effect is like using flour.
This means that you should only work with the die if you use enough (cold) liquid and the dough is moist and crumbly. Then nothing can happen.

If you are unsure whether your model fits the dies, please send us a message, preferably with a photo of your pasta machine. We will respond to you promptly and tell you which matrices are right for you.

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 the pasta maker 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

Patterns:

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.

What else should you know?
All of our matrices come from the Pastidea brand. Pastidea is an Italian company with years of experience in designing pasta matrices. Why an Italian company? Italians simply know the best about pasta and the like and know what to pay attention to. The design of a die is done by the Trafilaio, which translates to something like a die designer. A good Trafilaio knows exactly where on a die a little bit needs to be milled away so that the pasta has the right curve later. Maurizio of Pastidea has mastered this art par excellence.
