Review on 🍝 Upgrade your Philips Avance Pasta Maker with the versatile 4-in-1 Pasta Shape Accessory Kit: Shells and Paccheri, Rigatoni, and Macaroni by Kelly Pierce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great extruder disks - but wish they came with instructions (5 stars)

I love my Philips Avance pasta maker and bought all the extra disks he needed in case they stopped using them to do in the future. This particular set of discs makes clams, rigatoni, noodles and pakcheri. I would like Philips to include a guide especially for cases as it takes practice to get it right. It would be nice to know what types of recipes work best for each shape and when to cut them. The rigatoni and pasta shapes are lighter than the clams and pakcheri, the latter only because most people are unfamiliar with the wide but short tubular shape. As for the clams, I cut them off too early first - they looked more like cups - and then let them roll up a lot more so they're closed tighter. I had to point the ends down when extruding the shells to get the right shape. But hey, I made clams! Philips does an excellent job of making thick plastic discs that can withstand the extrusion pressure. While some are easier to clean than others, all of these discs release the dough either immediately, with a bit of a push, or after drying. - Debbie Lee Wesselman.
