Review on 🍝 Marcato Atlas 180 Pasta Machine: Authentic Italian Stainless Steel, 180mm Wide Cutter with Hand Crank and Instructions by Tamara Simms

Not only dough made of wheat flour needs to be rolled out thinly, there are also many noodles made of other materials - buckwheat flour (udon), rice flour, bean flour, etc. Personally, I had to roll out the chickpea and bean dough to avoid papadas which are usually rolled into a thin circle about 150 mm (6 inches) in diameter. I have a pasta attachment for a stand mixer but even on the lowest speed it ripped the dough apart so I decided to try a hand held roller. The Atlas 180 does the job and the extra length helps too. The photo shows that with this machine you can roll out this dough into a thin plate. (I roll out the dough between two sheets of plastic cut from a plastic bag). One downside, I think, is that the stand is too short, making it a bit awkward to get your hand underneath to serve the batter while it's loosening. roller, making cleaning difficult. I'm also annoyed that the wheels are actually 170mm long and not 180mm.
