Air dry and remove dried dough with the cleaning brush. Never wash or immerse in water. Do not run dishtowel through to clean them. Eggs are in the dough. I guess people have done this in Italy (hand rollers) for years without sanitation/cleaning/safety problems. But am wondering. Any comments welcome. Dee |

Hour? It's simply not enough > time to get a contaminating culture going. > > There's more danger in the average package of supermarket chicken... Guess I was not clear enough. 1. Make dough in a pan, or on a board, or on a ss table; roll dough in pasta machine; cook pasta. 2. Clean rollers with brush -- no water, no soap. 3. Put away rollers. 4. Make pasta next time. Between 3. and 4. there is time for the rollers to be sitting around - egg is a yukky odor, as well. If I make dough in a pan before I put it in the rollers, I would always wash that pan that I made dough in. Just a natural course of events. Why would I not wash a roller for the same sanitary reasons. Basically I don't just let that pan sit around and knock off the particles - hehe. Thanks for your previous response. Just wondering, Dee |

My cleaning regime has been, let the rollers and cutters dry, then brush them. It is true that bacteria must be present, yet I am quite comfortable with the unit. 1) The numbers of critters that can survive on dry, brushed clean, stainless steel is limited. So you are not building or expanding a culture on the rollers. To the contrary, the length of time that the appliance is stored works against the bacteria. There is nothing to eat and the environment is dry. 2) the length of time that elapses between when a new dough can be contaminated, meaning rolled and cut, and the time pit is cooked is insignificant. Assuming contamination, the inoculation is so small, that many, many, hours would be required to reach a critical mass. Your pasta doesn't sit that long. It is cooked, usually within the hour... is it not? 3) The pasta begins drying as soon as it is rolled. The drying increases rapidly after cutting. Since this drying works against the bacteria, the chance of contamination reaching the point of causing illness is remote. Finally, 4) the boiling is well... the end. Everything is sterilized. What might make you ill is the toxic residue from the bacteria. But you would have needed a significant culture. That does not happen when the unit is stored dry and the pasta is used promptly. This really is a safe appliance. Millions of Italians cannot be wrong <g>. |

You spent a lot of time on enlightening me. Don't think I don't appreciate it! I generally store food where moths, bugs, insects cannot get to them. However, a toaster and toaster oven which is out on the counter/under a ss table regularly has loads of crumbs in them. I guess I can put my roller set in a medium-sized tupper-ware-type covered container to keep those little buggers out, even though I don't expect to have many pieces from the rollers. Thanks again, for the needed answer. Saved, filed, and used soonest, I hope. Dee |

Thanks for clearing that up. |
