What kind of pasta roller does the best job? I am looking into buying one but not sure which one is the best.

If you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, buy the pasta roller attachment because then it's hands free. I had one of those that clamped on to your counters. One, it didn't clamp on to my counters ( I didn't have a big enough lip) and when I could get it stable, it was a royal pain to crank and hold onto the fondant as it came out. If they make an electric one without the mixer, I would go with that. The crank one just really didn't work for me.

Have you used the KA attachment? I would be interested in knowing how well they work...thought about getting one!

I have the KA pasta roller and use it all the time..........I love it!

How do you clean your pasta roller?

I use a damp rag BUT NEVER TURN IT ON WHEN CLEANING! It will never work again after it eats the rag. Hasn't happend to me but I believe what Jennifer Dontz says on the matter.

Thank you Tiggy

As everyone else said, if you have a KitchenAid, the get the attachment. If you don't, then Atlas is the brand to get for a stand alone. They make an attachment to make it electric.
If you don't have a KitchenAid and are looking at getting the Atlas electric, you may just want to save the money and put it toward buying a KitchenAid mixer. A lot of times when you get the mixer, you can get a special dealmon your first attachment.

Look around for deals on the attachment. I got mine for $99 on sale from Sur La Table. It came with the pasta roller and linguine cutter. It's not on sale right mow.

Check the department stores, like Macy's and Kohls. Sometimes if you have a coupon you might be able to get a deal.

If you just want the KA pasta roller you can get it at Bed Bath & Beyond for $50

how wide is the KA roller?

Very cool, I need to look into adding some fun to my KA mixer! To bed/bath and beyond I go......

KitchenAid is the best and you won't be sorry you bought it.

is there anything bigger out there that you know of ?

All the pasta rollers I have seen are all pretty narrow. For something significantly wider that would be a sheeter, but I have never seen anything between the two.

I love my kitchen aid pasta roller. Definately have it off when you're cleaning it. I haven't broken mine but I've had some ....shall we say ...."struggles". So definately clean it will it's off.
