@@adamhenry6793 it's a dessert pasta you'd make dessert with it such as serving it with nutella or such www.google.com/search?q=choclate+pasta&rlz=1C1CHBD_enCA820CA820&oq=choclate+pasta&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.3577j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
I owned one of these back in the day and when it comes to cleaning just wait! Once the unused pasta dries up it just falls right off of everything. Then cleanup is very simple from that point.
I was going to comment the opposite that if you clean right away and not let dry a good flushing with hot soapy water would probably clean the dyes pretty well, but either way I could see it not being too bad.
My favorite Ron Popeil moment was an infomercial in which he had someone spray paint away the bald spot on his head before he began cooking. Gotta integrate all your products!
i.STiLL.FUNCTiON I thought the same thing! I dehydrated strawberries 🍓 and fruit twice, it was expensive and took days 😂 but it worked great! I did 🍇 into raisins, I was like ohhhh look at me making raisins lol 😂 and fruit roll ups lol
I have one of these at home, his name is husband. I lucked out and married an Italian chef. We make various pasta weekly including, chocolate and squid ink pasta, but my fav is pappardelle
Out of all the youtubers out there that I watch. Emmy by far would be the one that I would love to meet. She is so down to earth! And I almost failed to mention that she is so knowledgeable about almost everything that she does. You are an amazing role model and overall just one fantastic woman. Thank you for everything that you do. #Role model of the year!
Oh man.... I watched this infomercial for hours as a kid.... God I loved that pasta maker infomercial..... I remember being compelled to go make pasta and clam sauce at 4am.... And I did.
Quick tip of the day: Emmy, when pouring oil out of a rectangular tin, orient the spout to the top, you'll get less glug-glug. (Air has a chance to get in above the oil coming out).
I just bought a $7 Sunbeam bread maker in perfect condition from goodwill because of these videos. Your starting an addiction! ;) Mmm pasta maker, looks fun.
Ronco products were awesome! I still have my Showtime Rotisserie. When I first got it my roommate and I stood there watching the chicken like people from a National Geographic special! Back when "as seen on TV" products still had quality! So happy to see you have fun with the pasta maker!
Omg I loved those early 90s infomercials when I was a kid! We didn’t have cable tv, just a giant aerial antenna because we lived in a small country town and my sister and I would wake up in the middle of the night and watch the only thing on - Ronco infomercials, until the TV went blank for the end of programming! Haha! I still dream of turkey jerky being made in his dehydrators Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Someone gave my mom a funky pasta maker back in the late 60s and we spent one summer making a ton of pasta (eventually we had to start drying it for later).I don't remember the brand of the machine, but now I want one so badly!!! Thanks for a fun video! To clean the dies on your pasta maker: You can soak them in warm soapy water for a while, then clean with an old toothbrush to get in the grooves and spaces.
I bought one from the commercial on TV back in the 70s...COD (cash only delivery)...my mother wanted to kill me... I was always buying stuff COD, my poor mom..lol
When I was a teenager, my family used to have one of the Ronco rotisserie chicken thingies too, and I remember the infomercial ("set it and forget it!"). It legit made SUCH good chicken. Was kind of a pain to clean the rack(s)/skewers/tray(s) though :/
My grandma and aunt were obsessed with Ron Popeil, They had EVERYTHING. After they passed away, we just put them all in our basement. I'll have to go check them out!
I grew up watching Ron Popeil infomercials. I watched all the infomercials from the Express Ready Set Go, Magic Bullet, Shark Vaccuum, FlavorWave oven, Miracle Blade, George Foreman Grill, but Ron was my favorite with the Rotisserie. The only infomercials product my parents ever bought was the George Foreman Grill. We used it like twice and it sat in a cabinet never to be used again.
I just wanna pipe up... while Ronco is in the throes of Chapter 7 bankcuptcy, Ron Popeil the man is actually still alive and in good health as of the publication of this video.
My sisters and I bought this machine for my mom for Christmas one year and she was surprisingly insulted. She thought we didn’t like how she made her pasta but we said it was to help her make her pastas. She used it once 😂
I Love your video because you showed us the dies you get, you made two pastas and you cooked spaghetti and ate it. That’s how all videos should be made when reviewing an item. Thank you Emmie! I’m getting one this weekend!
I finally had to throw away my Set it and Forget it the other day. I've had it for 10 years and it was my mother's before that, and who knows how long she had it. That thing got a lot of use, it lasted forever and it worked wonderfully. Not sure there's anything I didn't make in it except for soup. I bought the extra baskets for it so I could "grill" fish. steaks, veges, etc. Was going to buy another one but opted for an Air Fryer Toaster Oven instead. Regretting that decision. Sadly the As Seen on TV stuff today is nowhere near the quality of the Popeil machines.
I just discovered your channel and I’m hooked. I see you made some Louisiana cooking I’m from Louisiana and if it walks,crawls,swims or flies we eat it down here lol. But we have something down here that I haven’t found anywhere else and that is tomato gravy with biscuits so can you please cook that in one of your videos please.
I wish I could give this 100 thumbs up! I remember those infomercials and always WANTING the pasta maker! How fun to watch... I now know how to make fresh pasta on my own and it is so much better than packaged. SOOO silky!
I am new to the Emmy fan club, but Gurl! You rock so hard! I love your thorough descriptions of both the tools and the menu items you make. You have a fresh and fabulous take on the cooking tip, and I am hooked on your program. THANK YOU!!
I loved infomercials when I was growing up, which is probably why I'm obsessed with buying random kitchen appliances now. Sidenote: Kneading screw!?! 🤣
Got one and they are great actually!!! Use it during hurricanes because I can plug it up to the generator ,roast a whole chicken, and steam veggies in the top. Hour later I got a great meal for the fam even when the lights are out!!!! Hopefully I don't need it for Dorian!!!
You are awesome Emmy. Wow...almost 3 million subscribers. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks you're great. I bought a pasta maker a few years ago. There was a major sale for $60. All my Italian friends were buying them, so I thought...why not? I never used it but thought, one day, I will. Now that I'm retired, I thought I should try. It's not a Ronco. Watching your video has definitely helped. I'm excited to make lasagna with my famous 4 hour meat sauce.
I gave my dad this pasta maker for Father’s Day one year. Probably 1993, and I was 12... and as part of the deal he asked me to make pasta once per week for him. I was an ace with the ronco pasta machine. This machine started my love of cooking. I made fresh pasta for our family for years until the machine motor gave out.
I have the pasta maker with all of the dies and I love it. I use it at least twice a week, I have made lasagna, ravioli and many others, I have had my machine for 22 yrs. I have a little pointed pin just for cleaning the dies and clean up is a breeze. I use the spirolina flour and it makes delishous pasta. The noise doesn’t bother me as I am used to it. One tip- let the pasta dry in the dies before you clean them, tap them on the counter lightly and most of the dried pasta will come out.
Hi Emmy! I'm 11 year's old, and I enjoy watching your videos! I heard about your channel from my older sis, a couple years ago, so I have been watching since very good. I also love how positive you are, I have gotten quite more positive myself. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed doing this love you Emmy and bye!❤️💕❤️
I feel like the dies might clean easily by soaking them in hot water for just a little while, spraying them at fairly high pressure with the sprayer on your faucet, then giving them a simple wash with soapy water to get any residual dough off. I could, of course, be wrong. :D
I always wanted to make pasta... I remember my mom telling me of my grandma making pasta and drying it out on strings all along the kitchen and house. It looks so fun to do 🙂
I miss a similar machine I had. 1. You can, if you like, mix with a different die installed while your intended die stays hot in the water bath. Switch out before extruding. 2. You can add some oil to the bath, which may help. 3. Try pouring your oil with the spout at the top, for more control. 4. If your pasta starts out ugly, you can add it back in to the machine. Cleanup is a pain. I would make several runs in a row, to freeze. Make the effort worth the trouble. Your videos are always fun to watch.
Wonderful!!! Brought back memories of when I worked in a small pasta shop. The Ronco machine is exactly like the large, industrial machine we used - only in plastic & much smaller. The dies on the industrial machine are made of brass and would heat up as the dough was pushed through them. This would limit the amount of pasta you could make at one go. The clean-up factor is just the same, big or small. Those pesky little holes full of dough!!! We just soaked them in cool water for quite a while and then scrubbed them with a stiff brush. All the dough came out very easily. Most of it sort of dissolved in the cool water. You could also blow through the die once it has soaked long enough. We didn’t do that in the pasta shop, of course! But, at home, you could do that and then wash it well. Loved the video. I have no suggestions for you. Looking forward to your next one. 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
The same kPasta Maker by Popeil's was given to me years ago, I haven't used it very often but your video was so encouraging will take up the practice again. Intend to make lots of noodles/shapes before Christmas and give as gifts. The gift machine came with 9 dies along with the instructions.... So glad you enjoyed, I know we will enjoy to night as I'm making spaghetti. Blessings.....
I have one I got when they first came out. My favorite was always the angel hair pasta. I use to make it for my parents, I added a mixture of dried herbs with the flour & egg. Mostly garlic powder & parsley. Try it, it's very good. They had a metal tool that came with the thing to clean the disks holes out. I enjoyed the Ronco commercials too. I also have 2 of the Ronco dehydrators too. I used those a lot, when I dried mints , it would scent the whole house. When adding spinach to the pasta machine, you can blend fresh leaves into the liquid mixture using a stick blender.
My mother still has hers and still uses it. It works the same as the day she bought it. She uses hers around the holidays now for her noodles and gravy.😍
I had a yogurt machine. You had to get the milk warmed up to the right temperature (115° fahrenheit), over night cooking time. If that was not enough, more cooking time. Chilling time. I used it about three times and it was easier just to buy the yogurt. It went to the back of the cabinet and there it stayed. I was moving and I gave it to a friend of mine.
Well, that was satisfying to watch. I don't think our household eats enough to get a pasta maker, but if we ever start a family, it would be a good addition to the pantry.
SO FUN!! I watched the infomercial so many times as a kid!! Comforting somehow! Also love the dehydrator one!!! The assistant was a bit much, over-acting, but didn't stop me from watching it whenever it was on! :)
Hey Emmy. On your next road trip you definitely need to make a stop at Jungle Jims International food market. everything that you have tasted and i mean everything that you have tasted they have there, including the Japanese candy kits that you have done in the past. would make a great video for you. P.S. always look forward to your videos
I have a Phillips Pasta Maker and belong to a group on FB and we have discovered that if you turn off the machine, let the dough rest for about 30 minutes, then mix again, then extrude you will get a silkier and better pasta. You can rest the dough as many times as you'd like, but usually once or twice will work well. Use a dough/vegetable scraper, or thin garrote/cheese wire if you have it, and cut your pasta from the die that way.
Have a look at the other comments above yours though, from people who've already used and cleaned it! To recap: either let the pasta dry in the holes or freeze the dyes before trying to clean them. Either way, the pasta falls right out on it's own!
It’s really easy to clean, I promise. You just have to let it dry up first, it will come off like a breeze, the holes will clean up better if you let it dry a bit also.
I have my "Set It & Forget It" rotisserie and use it quite often, usually for whole chickens, boneless turkey breasts, and pork roasts! I have a weird built-in BBQ in a rockwall in my kitchen, and it fits perfectly in there. I just bought this pasta maker based on this video, very excited to try it :)
My Dad was a huge Ron Popeil fan. He owned lots of his gadgets, including the pocket fisherman! Dad passed away in 85 before the pasta machine came out. I know without a doubt he would have bought one! Mom and I used to joke that Dad helped make Ron a millionaire! This was a great video!
Hi Emmy! I would like to suggest you a "poor" recipe from my grandmother. She used to prepare me this as a snack or for breakfast when I was little. In Italian we call it "uovo sbattuto" and in Venetian dialect "sbaturin". We serve it with grissini (I liked most with the "Bibanesi" ones)- dried bread- white biscuits or we put coffee in it. The ingredients for one serving is a raw yolk and a tablespoon of white sugar. Mix it well until it becomes creamy and slightly white. That's it! My grandmother use to eat it almost every day during the WW2
I just got a kick out of you saying "a delicious 14 lb. turkey!" I'm not sure if you are quoting the infomercial, but that definitely sounds like Popeilism!
If your video and RU-vid had been available in the '80/'90s, this machine would be in every household in the US and Canada, and probably everywhere in the EU too. People can watch your video anytime, day or night, on demand, and it's more informative than anything I remember from way back when, late at night. I also like how you're just showing how it works, but you're not trying to sell it. *That* is how people really want to learn about these kinds of things!
