Piece of Junk,
July 26, 2005 R. Booth (Saint Jean de Braye, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KitchenAid KRAV Ravioli Maker Attachment (Kitchen)
I've been happy with many other KitchenAid products, but this one is pure junk. The pasta roller attachment that KitchenAid also offers is great, but the width of it is so close to the size of this ravioli press, that the edges of the ravioli barely have enough dough to seal - and many of them pop open.
It's worth noting that although this does in fact attach to a standing mixer, it does not use the mixer's motor. You have to manually turn the crank with your hand.
I returned this piece of junk, and bought the VillaWare V5500 10-Square Ravioli Maker for $18. Save yourself some money and do the same.

This review is from: KitchenAid KRAV Ravioli Maker Attachment (Kitchen)
I read a lot of the reviews, and bought this anyway, but was unsure. I figured what they heck, but it was what some of the positive reviews said that made me decide to get it.
I'm glad I did. I just used it, and wow, it was fun (if you like to cook), and easy. I did mess up a little, which turned out to make a small percentage of mine to not be sealed, but that was user error. But the main thing here is....I did not have to seal a single ravioli, and they cooked up just fine.
Most important things to do;
*roll pasta sheets to #3 on the pasta sheet roller....period.
*watch the youtube video with peter pasta. He has two videos, almost that same, but one actually says what settings he is using, which is THREE!!
*read the instructions that come with it....twice.
Simple huh? First and foremost, regardless of what recipe one uses and what they say to do, the setting for the pasta sheets is 3, not 5, not 7, not 42, but 3 - why reviewers...Read more

Kitchen Aid should be Ashamed,
April 20, 2007 guest (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KitchenAid KRAV Ravioli Maker Attachment (Kitchen)
I stumbled across a good meat ravioli recipe in the Joy of Cooking book. First time I made ravioli, and it came out fantastic; however, doing it all by hand (rolling and stuffing) is time consuming. Went out and purchased the KitchenAid Pasta Roller attachment, and was glad that I did.
Read the reviews here about the KitchenAid Ravioli Maker Attachment and was concerned why the reviews were so lop-sided (either really great, or really bad, no middle)? It caused me to find a local store that had a good return policy, in case I agreed with the negative reviews. I checked all my usual places: Macy's, Sams, Sears, JCPenny, WalMart, BedBath&Beyond, and William&Sonoma in the Dallas area. Only William&Sonoma had it in stock!
Took the KitchenAid Ravioli Maker home, and tried it out. Most of the ravioli's were torn, because I was using too thin of a setting on the Pasta Roller (Joy of Cooking recommends thinest setting - No. 8, KitchenAid recommends much thicker...Read more
