FOOD SAFETY
There are basic rules to follow when handling food.
They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.
COOK
It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least 160oF to 165oF (71oC to 74oC), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a good chance you will get sick.
Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145oF (63oC) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 180oF (82oC) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 160oF (71oC). Eggs should be thoroughly cooked too. If you are making a meringue or other recipe that uses uncooked eggs, buy specially pasteurized eggs or use prepared meringue powder.
SEPARATE
Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS
be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double­wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.
When grilling or cooking raw meats or sh, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean
platter. Don’t use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.
Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.
CLEAN
Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.
CHILL
Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40oF and 140oF (4oC and 6oC). Your refrigerator should be set to 40oF (4oC) or below; your freezer should be 0oF (-17oC) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chang dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90oF (32oC) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.
NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it
can become heavily contaminated during eld dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures
that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and food safety.
CAUTION! It is important to follow the “Food Safety” guidelines outlined in this manual. For the most up to date instruction visit the USDA website.
PASTA!
Pasta may be the ultimate comfort food. And it’s certainly one of the most versatile foods there is. It can be a main dish, side dish, salad or even a dessert!
Buying pasta in a store is a nice convenience, but there is something special about making it at home. Not only is it a healthy, preservative free option, but most people
agree that homemade pasta has a better avor. You can even enhance the avor by
adding things to the pasta itself … spinach, beets, peppers, herbs, saffron. Plus you can’t beat the prep time: homemade pasta only takes 3 minutes to cook!
The process is easy. It can be a fun family project that kids enjoy helping with.
Just follow these steps: . Form a mound with the dry ingredients and make a well in the center.
. Add the liquid ingredients into the well. Using a fork or bench scraper, mix the dry and liquid ingredients by dragging the dry ingredients into the center. Keep doing this until you have formed a sticky dough ball.
. On a oured surface, knead the dough ball by pushing down with the heel of your hand then give the dough a quarter turn. Repeat this until the dough is smooth, elastic, even in color and no longer sticky.
PASTA TIPS
.
DOUGH CONSISTENCY You know when you’re nished kneading the dough when
the ball of dough has a soft texture. It should feel moist, but not stick to your ngers.
.
LET IT REST! When you have your dough ball, set it aside to rest for 15-30 minutes.
While resting, wrap it in cellophane wrap or cover it with a damp towel (or paper towel) to
keep it from drying out. Resting gives the our time to fully absorb the water.
.
WATER If the recipe that you are using calls for water, add it last in portions. Depending
on egg size and accuracy of our measurement, you may not need the entire amount of
water in the recipe.
.
FLOUR & WATER RATIO Don’t be afraid to use our. If after resting, the dough feels
too damp add a little our and knead it a little more (don’t worry, if you add too much you
can add more water or olive oil to balance it).
.
FLOUR IS YOUR BEST TOOL Before rolling out the dough or cutting the sheets,
sprinkle the rollers with our to keep the dough from sticking. This will also help the
dough separate when you cut the pasta.
.
Before cutting the dough and between changing the roller settings, dredge the dough
sheet in some our. This will also help to cut the dough better.

CLEANING
The Pasta Machine and the Cutter Attachment may have some excess oil on it from the
factory. This is to protect the machine during shipping. THIS OIL MUST BE REMOVED
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE!
.
Using a clean dry cloth, wipe all the surfaces clean. DO NOT USE WATER! Never
wash the Pasta Machine or the Cutter Attachment with water, place it in water, or put it into the dishwasher. Simply wipe it clean with a dry cloth.
.
To clean the inner surfaces of the Pasta Machine and the Cutter Attachment
pass a piece of dough through the Rollers and Cutters several times, making sure the dough touches all the surfaces, especially the sides where machine oil can accumulate.
Discard this dough when nished.
.
Use a dry pastry brush to remove any our or bits of dough from the hard to reach
places.
.
Lightly sprinkle some our on the Rollers and Cutters. Using a dry brush, work the
our into the edges of the Pasta Machine and into the Cutter Attachment. Brush all the our away and wipe the machine clean again with a clean, dry cloth.
.
NEVER INSERT KNIVES BETWEEN THE ROLLERS OR THE CUTTERS!
5. Align the notches on the Handle with the notches in the Drive Slot of choice. Slide the Handle into the
Drive Slot of the Roller or the Cutter Attachment to be used (Figure D).
NOTE: Be sure to notice when the Handle turns, it passes below the edge of the work surface and turns freely, it should not hit the work surface. If the Handle comes in contact with the work surface, loosen the C-Clamp and reposition the Pasta Machine to allow more space (Figure E).

RAVIOLI
Half Moon Ravioli Additional Accessory
Part # 01-0208 Sold Separately
This attachment cuts & stuffs pasta into 1.785” / 4.4cm ravioli.
Half Moon Ravioli Additional Accessory
Part # 01-0209 Sold Separately
This attachment cuts & stuffs pasta into 2” / 5cm ravioli.
1. Prepare the lling of your preference. It should be rather soft to allow the pasta sheets to conform the lling without breaking.
2. Attach the Ravioli Maker Attachment to the pasta machine following the “Pasta Machine Assembly” instructions.
3. Prepare a pasta sheet to the desired thickness following the
“Rolling Dough Instructions”. Dust lightly with our. Let the pasta
sheet rest until it is slightly dry.
4. Trim the sheet past to the proper width with the Wheel Cutter (Figure L).
5. Divide the sheet in two. This will give you two sheets of the same width and length.
6. Place one pasta sheet on each of the Wooden Rollers of the
Ravioli Maker Attachment (Figure M) and turn the Pasta Machine Handle slowly, making sure both sheets of pasta are
being pulled into the Ravioli Maker Attachment. Test a short length to make sure the dough sticks together (if the sheets do not stick, lightly brush with an egg wash, if using a non-egg dough, use water).
7. Spoon the lling in between the two sheets of pasta into
the cavities of the Ravioli Maker Attachment.
Do not place lling between the cavities or the
sheets of pasta will not seal properly. Be careful not to put too much in, you want the pasta sheets too
close around the lling without compressing it.
8. Turn the Pasta Machine Handle slowly in a
clockwise direction to seal the rst row of ravioli. If the ravioli break, add less lling; if they seem at or too empty add a little more lling.
9. Allow the ravioli to dry slightly before cutting them apart.
10. Boil ravioli in plenty of salted water for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. After tasting to make sure they are adequately cooked, remove from the heat and drain.

6. Now set Regulator Knob to the “6” position. Run the dough through the Rollers. Repeat this process several times, each time setting the Regulator Knob to the next setting until the dough reaches the thickness you desire. If the sheet gets too long to manage, simply cut it with a knife.
7. After reaching the desired thickness, leave the sheet to rest for about 10 minutes so that it will dry slightly and be hard enough for cutting, without sticking to the Cutting Rollers.
CUTTING DOUGH INSTRUCTIONS
1. Follow the “Pasta Machine Assembly Instructions.” Align the
notches on the Handle with the notches in the Cutter Drive Slot of choice. Slide the Handle into the Cutter Drive Slot (Figure I).
2. Cut a piece of rolled out dough, long enough to be easily handled.
3. Lightly our your work space and
the pasta sheet. See “Pasta Tips” for more instruction on making dough and pasta.
4. While slowly turning the Handle clockwise, carefully start the dough into the Cutter Attachment.
5. As the cut noodles exit the machine from underneath, continue to carefully guide the dough into the Pasta
Machine while slowly turning the Handle (Figure J).

PASTA COOKING TIPS
.
Always use plenty of boiling water so the pasta does not stick.
.
1/2 lb (0.22 kg) of noodles will require at least 2 quarts of water, 1 lb (0.5 kg) of pasta
will require 6 quarts.
.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt for each quart of water.
.
Always bring the water to a full, rolling boil before adding pasta or it will not cook
properly.
.
Cooking time will vary based on the size, weight and ingredients of the noodles.
.
Homemade noodles take very little time to cook and should be tested after 3-4 minutes.
.
Pasta should be cooked “Al Dente.” This means it should not be mushy, but tender, yet
slightly hard to bite. Test the pasta frequently to test for doneness.
.
It is better that the noodles be slightly undercooked than overcooked.
.
Once pasta is cooked, drain it but never rinse.
.
For the best pasta dishes, add sauce to the drained noodles and serve immediately.
