DIY noodle repair

In detail: DIY noodle cutter repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Friends, such a misfortune has happened. I bought this pribluda i-320002-biowin
a little cheaper, but of this particular company. Before that I bought a ham maker and thermometers in the same place and was satisfied with the quality. But with this noodle cutter. well, just a full popos. What is the point. I rolled out the noodle dough, well, 200-300 grams, and the regulator of the rolling thickness flew off. I opened it, there is a spring, a washer and a nut. I screwed it into place. There is no effect, the gap between the rolls is not constant, but “walks”, after some operating time the regulator is unscrewed again. I disassembled this "miracle" but did not understand the principle. The drive shaft is centered, the driven shaft is an eccentric, to synchronize a pair of gears. But the axes of rotation are rigidly fixed. So I didn't have enough mind to understand how the thickness varies. On the regulator, the groove profile is a rectangle with rounded corners, I think that it is the regulator, but I will not drive it in. as? In general, can anyone repair this miracle of hostile technology, share your thoughts.

ps I generally repaired this story. The Chinese comrades forgot to put grease in the driven roller and it stuck stupidly. It's a shame that not the cheapest noodle cutter, but the quality.

Review: Imperia Titania noodle cutter - The result exceeded expectations (photo of a dumplings master class) + addition (breakage elimination)

Video (click to play).

Dumplings in this way are generally simple to do. It is enough to spread the minced meat along one edge of the dough strip, cover it with the second edge, lightly press the dough between the filling and cut out the dumplings. I use a round stamp d = 6 cm (I make dumplings of a classic semicircular shape, each of which fits 1 teaspoon of minced meat), but you can just use a special curly knife.

The spaghetti is great too. When cooking, they do not stick together, do not fall apart (use only the highest grade flour from durum wheat!). Can be cut, folded neatly into nests, dried, etc. forget about store-bought pasta forever.
Important: on first use VERY thoroughly (many times) pass the dough piece through rollers and knives to remove excess machine oil.

I want to supplement my review, because the other day there was a breakdown of my wonderful noodle cutter. For 3 years of intensive use, the plastic guide under the dough roller broke (without it, the dough is simply wound onto the shaft). As it turned out, this breakdown is the most frequent for this model (plastic cracks after 3-4 years of use). For those who are faced with a similar problem, I can offer the option of repairing at home with improvised means.
Since it turned out that it was impossible to buy such a spare part in St. Petersburg (I phoned several companies selling these noodle cutters), my husband, driven by an irresistible love of dumplings, took the cover from a 4 cm wide plastic cable / wiring box (pictured on the right).

With the help of pliers, I removed the partitions of the cable channels and bent the cover under the configuration of the broken part (the main thing is that the plastic rests against the metal pin-retainer to ensure maximum adhesion of the edge to the roller). The self-made part is fixed well (does not stagger, does not fly out). Now the noodle cutter looks like this.

After the renovation, I tested the noodle cutter. Everything works fine. The dough rolls out, does not stick or wrap on the roller, even when the thickness of the roll is adjusted.

My wife has a Chinese pasta machine, she uses it to roll out plastic.

Over time, this pasta machine began to wedge, and in the end it was stalled.
The wife asked her to look (fix). I armed myself with tools (various screwdrivers, a knife, pliers, small pliers and a hammer) and started.

For lubrication, you need to remove the side cover from the side of the gears (where the thickness adjustment knob is). To do this, you need to pry the cover of the thickness adjustment knob with something sharp, for example, a knife, and remove it. Then unscrew the nut, remove the adjustment knob, then unscrew the screw and remove the sidewall.

I categorically did not remove the lid of the adjustment knob, I hooked it up and grabbed it with pliers and so on, in general - nothing. Therefore, I began to disassemble the machine completely. He unscrewed everything he saw. I pulled out all the plugs that were.

When I unscrewed everything that was possible, the machine was still not disassembled, as the regulator, which was still fastened with a nut inside, interfered. It was not easy, but I twisted and twisted it, pulled it, and in the end the nut unscrewed itself and the regulator was removed.
After that, I took the machine apart to the ground.

I knocked out the cover of the regulator with a metal knitting needle.I had to hit pretty hard with a hammer, but after the chest opened, I saw that during the assembly the lid had irregularities on the edges and was quite long. I grinded away the irregularities and sharpened it with a file. After that, the lid began to go in and out without much effort, if you pry it with a knife.

I wiped the shafts and inner covers of the machine and cleaned them of plastic residues. After that, he carefully assembled the machine (left only the cover on the side of the gears removed) and carefully lubricated the gears and shafts (in the sliding points) with oil. I had the oil in such a bottle that it used to be sold in hardware stores, although, of course, it was better to grease it with grease or something similar, thick, but what may be may be.

After the final assembly, the machine worked like clockwork

By the way, those who want to know the details about where to buy a pasta machine, plastic, jewelry or finished handmade products can visit the site Handmade goods (there are many interesting works on display and there is a forum where craftswomen communicate).

How I loved making homemade noodles using the noodle cutter! With a minimum of effort, firstly, you get an excellent elastic, plastic, homogeneous beautiful dough, and secondly, the sliced homemade noodles are even, long. On the noodle cutter, you can cook two types of noodles: thin, if I'm not mistaken, such a pasta is called spaghetini and wide flat. Wide noodles are very similar to my favorite Chinese noodles. In general, I will sum up - we really liked the new device acquired in a fit of kitchen fetishism - the noodle cutter. See for yourself ...

2 and ¼ cups (200g glass) flour, plus a little more for rolling
3 eggs

I kneaded the dough in a combine (kneader). To do this, pour flour into the bowl of the kneader, break the eggs.

Install the hook attachment and first knead the dough at the lowest speed, and then switch to medium. We knead for 3 minutes.

Since the dough for homemade noodles should be very thick, we get such unattractive lumps in the mixer bowl.

We take them out onto a lightly floured work surface and crush them with our hands into an uneven ball. We cut the ball into two parts. We wrap one in plastic and put it aside for now. And we will continue to work with the first one.

We knead a piece of dough into a rectangle, first with our hands, and then with a rolling pin until the thickness of the maximum distance between the rollers of the noodle cutter (it can be a little thicker, it eats it anyway).

Install the noodle cutter on the table top. And we drive the dough through the rolls, set apart to the maximum distance.

Then we put it on a cutting board, fold it in three layers - "envelope" and roll it a little with a rolling pin.

Then again passes through the noodle cutter at the maximum roll distance. We repeat the whole process nine times (noodle cutter - envelope - rolling pin - noodle cutter).

We get an amazingly beautiful dough for homemade noodles! By the way, it will stretch quite a lot in length.

Now we set the rolls of the noodle cutter to a smaller gap. We roll the dough through the rolls. Now you don't have to fold it into a square, just reduce the gap every time. For thick, wide noodles, stop at a 3mm gap. For a thin, narrow 1mm. The dough stretches in length to an indecent size, so before cutting the noodles it is better to cut it across into several convenient pieces.

Installing the noodle cutter. Put a baking sheet sprinkled with flour on the table (ready-made noodles will fall on it). Scroll the dough through the noodle cutter.

Sprinkle the noodles on a baking sheet with flour and shake so that they are well covered with flour. Lightly dry the finished noodles, leaving just to stand in the kitchen.

I made thick homemade noodles from one half of the dough, and thin from the other. I'll share the noodle recipe soon, by the way.

I want to warn you that salt should not be added to the dough. It can damage the surface of the noodle cutter rolls.

If the noodles do not want to split when slicing, then the dough is too runny. There's nothing you can do about it, we'll have to mix in the flour and start the whole process all over again.

If you are interested in this kitchen equipment, I recommend reading my reviews about it. Pros and cons, characteristics and features of use:

Enjoy your culinary experiments!

Recently I saw a noodle cutter in a store, stood for a while ... looked ..., in general, I did not buy it. But now I look and regret it. Now there are so many low-quality products in stores! I still want to feed my family with something normal, without chemistry and other bullshit. Still, I will buy, homemade noodles will always fit both for soup and for a side dish.
Thanks! Convinced)))

They gave me a noodle cutter a year ago. But I don't use it often, there are a lot of problems, if you almost make the dough, it breaks, it sticks.

Thank you very much))) today we made noodles with our sons! Everything worked out and it was left to dry))) the children are delighted, I am clean))) the taste is great. The harvester has been updated.

Alexandra, thanks for the tip! I'm glad it came in handy and everything worked out!

Ever since I bought myself a noodle cutter (this device is also called a dough sheeter), making noodles at home has become quite an exciting experience. You can make quite a lot of noodles even from a small piece of dough if you roll out the dough thin enough, and the recipe for homemade egg noodles is so simple that it will not be difficult to make the dough. In addition, quite often I do not prepare the dough on purpose, but use the lumps that remain from the preparation dumplings and dumplings.

The homemade noodle dough should be pretty steep, otherwise the homemade noodle machine won't cut it into strips (the strips will stick together). If this happens, then simply add flour to the desired density. It will not be difficult to do this, because we will not roll the lumps into layers ourselves, but a machine for homemade noodles - a noodle cutter - will do all this for us. We focus on the basic recipe given here, and then add flour to a comfortable density.

Ingredients:

300 g flour (or whatever you need)
2 eggs
50 ml water
2 pinches of salt
1 tsp vegetable oil

Cooking noodles at home

1. Dough for homemade noodles, recipe on eggs, let's start cooking by preparing the liquid part. Dissolve salt in water, add eggs.

2. It is believed that for homemade noodles there should be twice as much flour as liquid. We are guided by these indicators, and then we look at how our dough will cut through the machine. If the strips stick together, then we will add more flour.

3. Make a lump of dough.

4. The machine for homemade noodles consists of two parts. Here we see the part for rolling out the dough.

5. Roll out the dough on one and cut the noodles on the other. We pass a lump of dough through the dough sheeter at division "0" several times.

6. Then gradually pass the dough through the thinner divisions until the dough is thin enough for the noodles. All this time, if necessary, add flour to the filling, and the dough will become steep. As a result of all these actions, the dough will become longer and thinner. For convenience, let's cut it into shorter strips.

7. These layers are powdered with flour and we will pass through the compartment for cutting noodles. We can make the strips wider or narrower.

8. Homemade egg noodles are ready. We just have to dry it.

9. And here are noodles made from ordinary dumplings dough (only very steep). There are two types of noodles - thin and wide.

10. Cook homemade noodles in the usual way. author

A month ago on eBay I won an amazing kitchen gadget called a pasta machine, but simply a noodle cutter.

I dreamed about her for several months, thought for a long time, thought. The price of the branded noodle cutter is very biting. Noname is about the same, only much cheaper and, as I was convinced, it is more difficult to roll the dough on it, the details are worse fitted. The principle of all pasta machines is absolutely the same. The only difference is in the attachments that allow you to make various types of pasta and ravioli, and some also have electric motors. There is also a dough mixer and a pasta machine that squeezes pasta, but this is completely different.
In general, my used treasure cost $ 18, and another $ 48 shipping. And it turned out at a price of non-name, but at the same time it was quite a worthy company. There are two leaders in the production of these home machines - Imperia and Marcato. So my noodle cutter is Marcato Atlas 150, and the Raviolamp form is for small Imperia raviolini.

Dough:
About 100 g wheat flour, 100 g Durum flour (durum varieties)
2-3 eggs, tsp salt, vegetable oil. You need to get a pretty steep dough that does not stick to your hands and rolls out easily. She kept the dough in the refrigerator for half an hour before rolling.
Filling:
1: 1 meat and smoked meats (used brisket), all about 100 g, half an onion, a clove of garlic and pepper. You don't need to salt with smoked meats. Minced meat chopped in a food processor.
Powder the noodles with flour and the piece of dough itself, otherwise it is difficult to roll. It is also better to powder the form, otherwise the raviolini will not be pulled out of there.

She rolled out the dough thinly so that half could be laid on the mold, and the other could be covered with the minced meat.

I put the minced meat in the grooves. It needs a completely microscopic amount. I think I still need to buy a bigger uniform. Not all fillings will fit there. It will probably be inconvenient to do with cheese.

Then cover with the second half of the dough and roll out so that the zigzags are pressed through. True, they did not really want to push through. I think that it is better to use slightly dried sheets of dough.

And pull it straight out with the whole tape and dry it, or it is better to freeze it so that the raviolini are easier to separate.

I passed the scraps of dough through the nozzle to the noodle cutter and got another portion of noodles. I dried it and stuffed it into the freezer in a bag.

The ravioli are boiled, and the husband fries bacon in a skillet to pour it over before serving. We spied on this method in Bergamo.

Here's what happened (no fat yet)

The food processors are equipped with brushed motors. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the technical solution; let's see the device design, possibilities, how to carry out repairs. Food processors are not designed for modest tasks. Prepare a salad - a full bucket, chop vegetables - kilograms. We see the disadvantage of the food processor and the advantage. For cooking, the unit is too big for just two; you want to feed a crowd of guests - bingo! Get ready to wash the product right away: there will be a mountain of ingredients inside. Do-it-yourself repair of food processors is not difficult, for those who managed to disassemble a clever device. Since each manufacturer strives to make a unique design, he will try to make sure that no one can get inside the device. Soviet technology compares favorably with food processors, then, as you know, fools in the design bureau did not work ...

Do-it-yourself food processor repair requires knowledge of the basics. It's easy inside. The phrase beaten by the site is again appropriate.The food processor is designed to accomplish what a hand blender with a knives bowl attachment can do today. The function includes the preparation of cocktails. Translated into Russian, it means: there are three devices that intersect mutually, only the latter will replace everything:

hand blender;
table blender;
food processor.

Let's take a critical look at the capabilities of the food processor. Two drives:

For blender straight.
For grinding with a gear through a belt, gear transmission.

A KitchenAid food processor is indistinguishable from a blender, by removing the attachment, today we are not considering the simplest options. So, there are two drives, each rod for its own purposes. The blender is made straight, not at all surprising. The attachment often crushes ingredients, creates significant loads, you cannot transfer them through the belt. The second drive of the food processor is really interesting, which includes the attachments of the shredders and graters. There is a movable clutch that, when pressed, turns off the rotation. Let's say in advance: there is a whole bunch of push relays in the electrical circuit that cut off the power of the device if the protective caps are not installed. Of course, the defense can be fooled.

Pleases the simplicity of the circuit design. At the input of the electronic board there is a painfully familiar filter of the RC-chain, from where one wire supplies the motor, the second passes through the triac circuit for adjusting the input current.

The speed is being adjusted. Let's describe the action of the scheme:

Power is supplied to the triac operating in linear mode. The key element is equipped with a decent sized heatsink to dissipate excess heat.
A voltage divided by a variable resistor comes to the control electrode, the reverse response of the engine is a parasitic EMF that occurs when the collector sections are switched by a rotating shaft.
The speed controller rotates, the variable resistor changes the value of the control voltage of the triac electrode. Turnover increases or decreases.
The load on the engine increases, the rotor slows down. The value of the parasitic back EMF of the collector drops, the voltage of the control electrode of the triac changes, the consumed current begins to rise. Following the revolutions, they increase again, the engine goes to the specified mode.

A simple self-regulation circuit, from an electrical point of view, there are no complaints about Philips. Well done. Except for the fifth conductor coming out of the engine, coming to the board, remaining hanging in the air. However, the little things are fake compared to the Torx screws screwed into the plastic. A two with a minus: inflate bad manners of the buyer. The circuit is devoid of fuses, thermal protection is in excess. It is honestly written on the winding, a fuse with a threshold of 135 degrees Celsius is hidden inside. Next to it is another reusable one. One thing is striking: power comes out from the board, comes to the motor, the rotor-stator section is closed on the board. It is difficult to say why it is being done.

The device is considered, just like two and two. Hence, it is easy to repair a food processor. Let's see the order.

Let's discuss how to fix a food processor. Most readers know the sequence. Let's clarify the question in more detail. The lucky one who managed to disassemble the food processor needs to do the following:

This is the inspection procedure. The rheostat will break (crumble), some speeds may not work, the speed change is jerky, unstable. The device of the food processor provides for protective relays (microswitches), bypass the power circuit. From a mechanical point of view, if the belt shaft does not rotate, the following is checked:

The belt is slipping.
Serviceability of the coupling.

The belt resembles a car belt. A complex elastic band, a product with cut teeth according to the size of the gears. Two things become apparent:

the product will work for a long time;
if the rubber wears off, dries up, it will be extremely difficult to replace.

We recommend not chopping tough, hard vegetables. Make sure that nothing gets wrapped around the running shaft.As for the blender drive, the knife does not turn off in any way, it rotates in the food processor. During the period when the corresponding nozzle is not used, the rotating stem is covered with a protective cover. Without this, the device will not turn on, the relays mentioned above will be incorrectly wired. It is harmful to use a grater. Tellingly, there are no belt tension adjustment mechanisms. They could have left a spring with a movable gear, the position would be adjusted with a screw, even a Torx. Would make the rubber component last longer.

What can break in a food processor, they described, we ourselves believe, only the triac and the capacitor at the input are at risk. The brushes of the collector motor are protected by varistors, extinguishing the spark with a strong increase in voltage, do not allow the motor to burn out if the filter at the input fails for some unknown reason. Beginners are surprised by blue tablets soldered to the case, in fact, the spark is closed by two varistors, extinguished if the voltage amplitude allows. Given the inept thermal protection discussed above, there is an opinion: the designers have insured themselves for all occasions. Your Philips food processor will work ... if it survives the repair!

Some units have a non-separable housing. So that the service center noticed an autopsy attempt by an unknown self-taught master.

The devices are based on speed regulation, it is easier to change the amplitude. If asynchronous motors respond to inverter control, in our case, the repair of Moulinex food processors is associated with collectors and only with them. The variety can be controlled by microcircuits. It is done by changing the duty cycle, the effective value varies, leads to a change in the motor speed. We hope that now the repair of the Mriya food processor is in the teeth and on the shoulder for readers. Pay attention: the wire of the coils is thicker, the engine pulls better. To get a feel for it, check out the wrapping thickness of hand blenders.

When I got the idea to make homemade egg noodles, my ardor was quickly cooled by the time-consuming process of making. Okay, I can knead the dough in my bread maker. Strained by the need to cut the dough into noodles. No matter how hard you try, it is difficult and dreary to cut it by hand, neatly. At least for me.

So I remembered about the presence in nature of such an object as a manual noodle cutter. (She's a pasta machine and a mechanical noodle cutter!))) And I even saw the desired item in the “Irit” branded department in our city.

Before buying, I nevertheless went online to look for reviews specifically about this model of noodle cutter.

There are few reviews on the “Irit” technique on the Internet, and I did not find information about my potential purchase. But, in the process of searching, I came across reviews of other, more eminent and expensive brothers. Outwardly, they looked like my noodle cutter. And their mistresses extolled the convenience and ease of working with them. And I decided to buy.

My machine rolls out the dough and cuts it into noodles. The noodle cutter is attached to the table with a simple retainer, as in Soviet mechanical meat grinders. The dough, pre-flattened with a rolling pin or by hand, is rolled out between two smooth metal rollers into a thin rectangular layer. Its thickness is set by turning a special knob. For slicing noodles, a layer of dough is inserted between the other, slicing rollers, the thickness and width of the noodles are no longer adjustable.

In general, in theory, everything is easy and simple. A short instruction is attached to the noodle cutter, which contains recipes for dough and dishes with homemade noodles.

Also, the manufacturer has provided one handle for both the rolling rollers and the dough slicing rollers. (We had a similar one in the rollers for wringing out linen in a Soviet washing machine, hehe). And at each stage it is necessary to rearrange it in the appropriate slot. The operation is not complicated, but in the process of work, sometimes I forgot to rearrange it in a timely manner.And, putting the rolled layer on the cutting rollers, she energetically began to twist the handle inserted into the nest of the other rollers! )))

Each time I kneaded the noodle dough in a bread maker, according to the recipe from the instructions. The first time it turned out to be soft and I had to mix it by hand. Since there is such a nuance that when making noodles on a pasta machine, the dough should be steeper than when cutting manually.

Between the rollers, the dough periodically skews to one side or the other, rolls out without much difficulty. Dexterity, of course, as in any business, will not hurt!

The next step is to cut this layer of dough with a noodle cutter into noodles. This is where a certain elasticity is required, or, the toughness of the dough. It is advisable to dry the rolled layer a little.

The first time I failed to comply with the texture of the test. And, cursing and threatening to hand over the noodles back to the store, I had to cut the noodles by hand! After a while, I decided not to get excited and try again.

Before starting work, I again searched the Internet on the topic of making homemade noodles from scratch. And voila! On the second try, everything worked out quite well. But, again, it was not without complaints.

Firstly, when cutting noodles, the dough sheet slid sideways and the rollers strove to “chew” it. I had to “fight” and keep him level.

Secondly, the noodle cutter does not completely cut through the dough. The noodles are dispensed as double noodles. (see photo),

In general, I made noodles, cooked soup - it turned out delicious. We can say that you can use it, but it can be better! Maybe this is my defective copy, and the rest will be normal ?!

P.S. - I watched the program (made in France) about the competition of young chefs of haute cuisine on the Telecafe channel. In the plot, I noticed they have a brilliant unit very much like my noodle cutter. They called it “dough rollers”.

So, the young guy fucked with this unit, just like I did with my noodle cutter for the first time. And the jury then noted the poor quality of the test made due to the fact that the boy used the miracle product for the first time.

And I thought - maybe they are all these kind of cars, restive? What do we have, what is in France, what else is there?

I would be glad if my review helped you navigate the choice. Thank you for your attention!

Along with this, you can see:

And where is there a stainless steel, seemingly one plastic?

Yesterday, after dinner, there were some macaros left. 5 sausages were bored in the fridge. I decided to bungle such a casserole, it turned out great! Perhaps there is such a recipe here, but I wanted to share with you, what if someone is too lazy to cook today like me!

Ingredients for Pasta Casserole with Sausages
Boiled pasta (I had horns)
Sausages or sausage or ham (took sausages)

The noodle cutter is a machine for rolling out dough and making noodles at home. It takes up little space, is easy to maintain, and most importantly, it is not inferior in functionality to professional equipment.

Manual noodle cutter, also called mechanical, is suitable for housewives who make noodles in small quantities. It is equipped with a handle, like a meat grinder, with the rotation of which the mechanisms are activated. The big advantage of this model is the independent control over the speed of rotation of the cutting tool. Such noodle cutters are cheaper and simpler than their electric counterparts.

It consists of two rollers with cutting blades in a circle, which, when the handle rotates, cut the dough sheet into even strips. It is also called a dough sheeter, because the noodle cutter has a roller for thin dough rolling.

When choosing a manual noodle cutter, explore these options:

body material;
levels of regulation of the thickness of the dough;
the presence of fastening the device to the table;
complete set with various attachments.

The first thing to pay attention to is the case, so that it is made of stainless steel and marked by the manufacturer. High-quality noodle cutters are made of medical steel with a special non-stick coating.

Modern noodle cutters have 6 levels of dough thickness adjustment from 0.2 to 3 mm, while you can also set different widths of noodles, in some models it can vary from 2 to 6.5 mm. The more possibilities for setting these two parameters, the more varied the dishes can be prepared, because the taste of the sauce largely depends on the size and shape of the products served with it.

It is necessary to have a special attachment to the table, it will fix the device and save the hostess from holding the noodle cutter during use.

The noodle cutter comes with various attachments for making noodles, and additional attachments can be purchased separately. There are special noodle cutters for making: dumplings, ravioli, spaghetti, fettuccine, narrow noodles, lasagna sheets and other special types of pasta. For example, a noodle cutter with a ravioli attachment can replace your dumplings and dumplings. makes cushions from two layers of dough with a filling inside and neat edges.

Which noodle cutter works best for you depends on your eating habits.

Using a homemade noodle cutter is quite simple, the main thing is to properly prepare the dough. We knead the dough according to the recipe instructions, first roll it out with a rolling pin, shaking off excess flour from it. When using for the first time, wipe the noodle cutter with a dry cloth and pass a little dough through the rollers, which must then be thrown away.

We fix the noodle cutter on the table.
Insert the handle into the hole on the dough roll.
Set the machine regulator to position 1 by pulling it outward so that the two smooth rollers open about 3mm.
Turning the handle, we pass the dough through the machine.
When folding the dough, repeat rolling 5-6 times.
When the dough becomes elastic, set the dial to position 2 and pass the dough through the rollers.
We repeat again, only through position 3 and so on until the dough becomes 0.2 mm thick.
Using a knife, cut the dough into strips, approximately 25 cm in length.
We insert the handle into the hole for the cutting rollers.
Set the required width of the noodles (1.5 mm or 6.6 mm)
Turning the knob slowly, we pass the dough through the slicing block.

Put the finished pasta on a tablecloth and leave to dry for at least an hour, or lay it out on a baking sheet and put in the oven to brown a little. The paste does not spoil for 1-2 weeks if stored in a cotton bag in a dry place. Fresh pasta should be cooked for no more than 2-5 minutes.

In home service, the noodle cutter is very simple. It will serve for a long time, subject to the rules of care:
