Overview
The Cuisinart PM-1 is a compact countertop machine that mixes, kneads and extrudes up to a pound of fresh pasta in about 20 minutes, or mixes and kneads up to a pound of bread dough using the same base unit.
Several needed outside video tutorials to understand the buttons and the correct dough coarseness, since the included instructions were thin. When the dough is too wet or the process is misjudged, the extruder can seize, and at least one buyer found no locknut wrench included to free a jammed unit.
- Mixes, kneads and extrudes up to 1 lb pasta in about 20 minutes
- Also kneads up to 1 lb of bread dough
- Six pasta discs plus measuring cups and storage drawer
- 3 year limited warranty, bpa free construction
Who it's for
Good for home cooks who want fresh pasta shapes without hand-cranking a manual machine and who don't mind a short learning curve. Less ideal for anyone who wants a foolproof, instruction-clear device out of the box.
Pros and cons
- Also kneads bread dough, not just pasta
- Six interchangeable pasta discs included
- Printed instructions thin, many needed videos
- Can seize if dough consistency is off
- No locknut wrench for a jammed unit
