MARCATO Pasta Drying Rack, Clear

This is an expensive item for what it is but it is incredibly well engineered. It's light and breaks down in a snap. Just a wet cloth to clean it and there is no assembly required. You turn the wheel to open it and use the included wand to put the pasta on the stalks and remove it. It's made in Italy by just about the top maker of Pasta machines so the quality is there. I think it's worth the high price.

I haven’t had a chance to use this yet, but it looks like it’s a well-made product. The packaging was very good. It comes in a very nice box was not all banged up compared to some other things that I received today. It came in a nice Amazon box I do not care for the Amazon bags. I don’t know if they’re wrecking the product and delivery or what’s going on here, but I got a lot of banged up stuff. Thank you very much.

Hanging fresh pasta to dry can be tedious when you need to hang each noodle individually. This product solves that and lets you transfer the entire batch of noodles as they come off the cutter directly to the drying rack. The product videos show how this is done—and it works wonderfully. Device folds up and is easy to store. 5 stars.

This is a very nice product. Although slightly pricey. It is very easy to use and store away. Works great!

This has helped me so much. I make my own pasta at home because I love fresh pasta and like to use organic flour and have a higher protein content and more fiber by using a 1/2 unbleached white flour to 1/2 organic whole wheat flour. I also do not use eggs and only a small amount of salt and a dribble of fine extra virgin olive oil. I use my Gourmia pasta amazing and a Marcato Atlas to help me with this formidable task. I sometimes extruded it onto a plate and sometimes the pasta would stick when it boiled and was not perfect. Since I purchased a Marcato Atlas Pasta Drying Rack I have been able to make perfect pasta, since it is separated neatly. The wand I also use for when I make my homemade low fat salad dressings as a pusher to quickly get the dressing down the narrow aperture as it fits down my narrow funnel that fills my dressing bottle. The wand I did not realize would be plastic but it is. It would be nicer in crystal which is why it did not get 5 stars. It does have an opening at the top that is straw-like so it can hold a small amount of water to help with perfect dough making. I feel this would be better if it also has a cap as it is open at the top and then there is more cleaning if used to hold water. The legs which are gorgeous gleaming metal tripods with rubber non skid bottoms sometimes fall down after they are compacted and closed if the unit is placed on its side and then if out displayed it does not look its best. This problem can be solved by the addition of three small thin triangle magnets placed on the underneath part of the plastic that the legs touch neatly when are folded closed and pushed up for storage. I will probably purchase some magnets and do this myself on mine when I fit it in. These wands can also work as giant milkshake stirrers for those who sometimes make giant, healthy super low fat milkshakes like myself. I use my homemade organic soymilk or almond milk and mix with just a little low fat vanilla or other ice cream. Sometimes I add my homemade seltzer and soda syrup for a healthy ice cream soda and me and my spouse also sometimes drink a small one with a little fruit juice mixed in before our breakfast to give us that fruit juice, yummy but healthy and will not get you fat dessert high when we wake up.

This pasta drying rack was delivered last Sunday. I haven't actually used it yet, but I've watched several youtube videos that use it and decided it was a worthwhile investment if I plan to start making pasta. Really like the features of this rack, including the center wand that allows you to cleanly cut ribbons of pasta dough and also makes it easy to transfer cut pasta from the pasta machine to the drying rack. The fact that the whole thing can easily be stored flat in the original box and it doesn't take up a lot of counter space is another plus. I don't have much counter space and cannot imagine laying pasta flat in trays to dry. I'd have it scattered all over the house if I did. The rack is easy to clean. It's simple to turn the knob to fan the rods or twist them back for storage. The tripod "feet" seem to be very stable and you can hang a lot of pasta in a small space.

Great!

Pasta making is something we are just beginning to get serious about so I started to order the less expensive wood models rather than shelling out the extra for this upgraded drying rack. However, at the last minute the 4/3 promotion on the other rack was cancelled and the reviews were mixed so I opted instead for this one (4/3 promotion helped reduce the cost too!). Glad I did! This is a one piece system that sets up in less than a minute - ditto for storage. No need to chase after different parts or worry about stability. The base opens like a tripod for stability. The top spins to open all the arms plus there is a built-in lifter. Very easy to clean, super simple to store and a sturdy build make this a pleasure to use. Should be the last one you will need to buy and provides plenty of space to make extra pasta.

Genial utensilio para secar pasta casera. Cabe mucha cantidad y ocupa poco espacio plegado. Es muy bonito y a juego con la máquina y accesorios también rojos. Buena calidad y envío rápido. Gracias !!

Excellent, well made product that does exactly what it is meant to do. It might be a little more expensive than other pasta dryers but it looks great, folds up tidily and is well made. It greatly simplifies pasta making when you don't need to drape your pasta over every available surface :) The fact that it looks stylish doesn't impact on how well it drys pasta but it does add a bit of Italian colour to the kitchen.

Hatte ich zu der Nudelmaschine von Marcato mitbestellt und das war gut, denn wie hätte ich die ganzen Nudeln sonst trocknen sollen? Geniales Zubehör, das sich zusammengeklappt gut verstauen lässt. In den Ständer eingelassen ist ein Stab, mit dem man die Nudeln gleich beim auswalzen/schneiden aus der Maschine heraus aufnehmen und zum trocknen aufhängen kann, klappt prima.

Mi mama quería un secador de pastas y su amiga había comprado uno de 10 dólares, pero vi este y quise probarlo, como resultado, es un producto de alta calidad y muy practico en usar! Mi mama esta fascinada con su nuevo secador de pastas. Muy recomendable!

I scouted around the shops and online looking at pasta dryers and most of them were cheap and nasty wooden things, poorly made and wouldn't last long at all in my opinion. I think if you've invested in a pasta making machine, a good plan also is to invest in a quality pasta dryer. After reading many reviews on this product on Amazon and elsewhere on the web, I chose this one and I am delighted. The design is unique! it opens so easily, move the first arm and they all open beautifully, its poetry in motion, truly. Sturdy, beautiful and practical and I am sure this will last forever if looked after properly and cared for etc. Very pleased! Yet another example of 'you get what you pay for' so my advice, stay away from those nasty wooden ones and go for this if you love your pasta and your kitchen. It looks GREAT!
