[Closed] The latest “must have” kit for us STW ponces?

[i]Pasta is the new coffee. [/i]

although it can bung up your bean to cup machine if you use the fresh stuff.

We're all modern up here, we've got a proper tumble dryer instead of one of those.

does it make this?

Pasta? 2007 wants its food fad back.
For the urbane man about town it's all about pulled pork from a pop-up restaurant and even that is starting to wane.
Are you posting from the grim north? Still wearing snow-wash double denim?

It's all about the low carb diet in here these days.

Nope, but who else got this for Xmas:

Making your own pasta just doesn't fit into the time window

[i]Still wearing snow-wash double denim? [/i]

<brushes mullet>

What's your point?

We have one....and the pasta drying tree thing.

Bought in Garda.

I didn't match much at all in the other 'typical STWer' thread, but I do have a pasta roller.

It doesn't get used much, but might just get roller out Sat. lunchtime 🙂

I've just installed this in the cellar.

It generates just under 1kW with the reactor operating in its top range. Not quite enough for the ring main but it copes fine with the lighting circuit.

Waste fuel rods are small in number but still a problem to dispose of.
A bit like my old porrrrno mag's !

Gold-plated...

d_s - I have no idea what that is but I need one.

It's like Mamod on steroids.

Please may I have a link to whatever that is derek

Thanks

You should google David Hahn. The poster boy for home brew nuclear power. 😯

Wilesco Atomic: http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/archive/wilesco-atomic__o_t__t_24897.html

wow!

I love old toys: "Look, it's a mains electricity powered high pressure steam generator for children - what could possibly go wrong?"

Pasta? How 1990's.
Pollenta? How 1990's.

MrSmith has it. It's all about getting someone else to do Niche* cheap/easy food for you these days and no, that doesn't include Pizzas from Dominos.

*bit more expensive than you would want to pay, but you are on the move so it seems ok, so long as you only do it 4 times a week (but wind up doing it 5)

my mums got one. the pasta is awesome.

bought her this for mothers day a couple of years ago.

sent one of the italians from work on a mission to get me a rotella tagliapasta as that was the latest required gadget.

pasta drying tree thing

Got to be the most middle class thing I have ever seen.

I really, really need one of these

[img] [/img]

Possibly a collection of them..

http://www.en.boehm-stirling.com/engines.html

Many shades of loveliness!

we have one (no pasta tree though!), it was a gift and sits in the cupboard doing sweet fa. The pasta we made once was nice but life's too short

Got one of these to deal with the sirloins when we're sick of steak.

[img] [/img]

And this is great for melting cheese to put on toast..

[img] [/img]

That Wilesco is gorgeous! I've got a normal one, but that thing...

I was only joking about the Wilesco being a proper N station....

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

These are amazing!

I've got one - the pasta machine not a steam engine - and a drying rack just like the one above

say what you like but fresh pasta is lush

no audi though

<<personal shame content>>
Caught myself looking at sous vide machines the other day thinking that would be good 😳

Pfft! You screaming bunch of lords! I've just had this installed in my back garden

All kitchen utensils are now redundant

Yep I bought one for my wife for xmas last year. What with my coffee machine and new 29er I'm becoming quite the typical stwer!

dildo on the cd player? that's a new one

mine came from santa along with [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Silver-Spoon-Cookery-Phaidon/dp/0714862452/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357908920&sr=8-1 ]this book[/url] which I mentioned to him after a rec from STW, and it is very good indeed.

You could use it as a milk frother for the ****y­™ coffee machine.

Digital perfection.

isn't plain old dried pasta using durum wheat or whatever, a good source of energy and excellent for athletes tubby IT managers bimbling round trail centres whereas fresh pasta isn't very good for you?

Is plain old dried pasta just fresh pasta that has been dried? (thats how I make my dried pasta, with my machine that looks exactly like the machine in the OP - still don't own an audi though.)

With sound effects too - oh my...

Yes, we have a pasta roller. It's the least used kitchen tool we have, mainly because it takes so effing lone. Pasta tastes great, though.

Hmm. It's idiet day off tomorrow. If I get up very early, I could have some nice ravioli ready for lunch....

I got one for Christmas in '08. I used it once for tagl... talg... tagliat...... pasta ribbbons.
messy, laborious, time consuming and annoying. it went to a charity shop after last year's house move.

You just need to practice with it.

5 mins to make the dough.
60 mins in the fridge to rest.
10 mins rolling and ravioli making. You could do tagliateli in a couple of minutes.

Job done.

I can walk to Waitrose and get fresh pasta and walk home again in less than 10 mins.

Living less than a 5 minute walk from Waitrose might 😉

you haven't seen my walk

If you have winter MTB shoes or ski boots it's a "must have". The classic metal one obviously.

is it for cleaning under your toe nails?

Anyone who uses a pasta roller and thinks using a grinder/home espresso machine 'is a faff' is a hypocritical cretin who needs a slap (with a dolphin friendly line caught fish)

Only one form of pasta is acceptable....

[img] [/img]

is it for cleaning under your toe nails?

I sincerely hope it's toe-nails.

Otherwise, it'd go well with that heating gadget with the horns.

Is that ^^ a metal temporary Toe Nail?

I could do with one of those, my right big toenail is about to come off.

Is plain old dried pasta just fresh pasta that has been dried?

I said I wanted a pasta maker for Christmas. Good job I spotted my typo before I posted my letter to Santa

[img] [/img]

I asked for one for Xmas and got an imperio proper one. Broke the cheapo one I had before so it was a considered choice and worth the expense. Plus food is one of my main hobbies, and cooking is how I relax in an evening. fresh pasta tastes amazing!

5 mins to make the dough.
60 mins in the fridge to rest.
10 mins rolling and ravioli making. You could do tagliateli in a couple of minutes.

Job done.

If I spent that long getting to the point of cooking, then I'd be done!

Horn shoe horns for us

lambchop ^^

I have those very bleedin shoes. (Though the toes don't turn up anywhere near as much!)

Those boots = that short prick from top gear, and about as trendy as your average archeologist on time team.

"Trendy"

😆

My pasta roller went to the charity shop a few weeks ago - life's too short

got one of these last week

I can't help but agree. A part of my soul suddenly felt all warm and tingly when I watched one of the videos.
