A few minutes ago I sent in the following inquiry to KitchenAid using
their "fill in the box" form. OK, so maybe I played it dumb just a
little bit. I **was** pleased to see that they gave the extrusion
lengths only in centimeters; not a hint of an inch (or foot or yard or
statute mile) was to be seen.
Jim
I was full of hope when I read your instructions for use of the pasta
maker attachment for the K5M5; you gave extrusion lengths in
centimeters. But when I got to your basic pasta dough recipe I was lost.
I cook in terms of metric units and weigh my dry ingredients on a scale
that weighs to the nearest gram. I harvest my own farm-fresh eggs and
weigh them (in grams) after washing and before refrigerating. When you
call for "large eggs", how many grams do you reckon a "large egg" is?
How many grams of flour is "2-3⁄4 cups sifted all-purpose flour"? I
assume 15 mL for each tablespoon of water.
