Never thought I'd...
I never thought I'd make my own pasta -- who has the time? But when you get married in your 40s and have EVERYTHING you need, you register for pasta makers. And when you get them? Oh. So. Much. Fun! Time consuming? Yes, but worth every minute. I'm not much of a baker but this little machine makes it really easy to handle the dough and create long noodles or sheets of dough to cut into ravioli. In fact...we hadn't decided what to have for dinner tonight. I think I'll get this out!

Well done
Having spent some time looking at pasta machines, I chose the Atlas because it is a well made product. Parts move smoothly and I look forward to many years of great use and delicious pasta.

Great Surprise
The first time ever using a pasta maker and it was easy and fun. Not many instructions came with it but it's very simple to figure out. My only negative is that they should have included several pasta recipes in the box. Searched on the net and found great ones to use on my new pasta maker. Great buy!

Love it!
I recently purchased the Atlas Chrome Pasta maker, and I love it!. It was very easy to assemble and use without much guidance from the instructions! The only downside to the pasta maker is that it is definitely a two person job, especially as you get down to your thinnest setting. One person must feed the dough, the other must catch it as it comes through. It just turns pasta making into a family affair. Fresh pasta is so delicious from this awesome machine...I could never go back!
Don't worry about cleaning up. This machine wipes down beautifully. Just send a piece of sandwich bread through the machine to get the dough left behind and wipe with a damp rag!

Great little extra to add to your basics!
My husband and I recently experimented with making homemade papardelle (which is FANTASTICALLY easy and so worth it!) but found rolling out the dough thin enough to be a challenge. We've been thinking about a pasta maker, and Crate and Barrel came to the rescue with this one. It's so easy to use (make the dough and be sure to let it rest) and then run it through the pasta maker as instructed. Just make sure your dough is dry enough that it doesn't stick to your hands or else you'll also have a sticky mess in the pasta maker and you can't wash it in water (this isn't a big deal if your dough is the right consistency-the pasta maker stays pretty clean and you can just brush off any flour or dough with a stiff brush). If you do make end up with sticky dough in the pasta maker, just add flour to your dough and run it through the pasta maker a few times so it picks up all of the sticky dough.
Good luck and enjoy!
