I got one of those Cake tester probes.. seems to be working.

Yeah @Okanagancook -- after I posted it, I decided to call. They recommend just leaving the die in water. It just seems like I change the water often. PIA

So, I have an extrusion pasta machine. ( Arcobaleno ) I could easily clean rope/ pasta's dies , but the more intricate the extruded pasta gets. The dies are getting harder to clean. I just feel like I don't want to leave dies in water/oil for ever. I need ideas on something that can get my dough out. Currently using compressed air and picks ( btw ) Thanks for any input Paul

I extruded me a bit of Pasta ( yesterday )-- I have an Arcobaleno Ax10 This is 70% 00 and 30% semalina --30% hydration

@TdeV So pretty simple/ I cooked bacon, and used some of the rendered bacon fat, and cooked the onions ( yellow ) long and slow in it. Took 30-40 mins then crumbled in some of that cooked bacon at the end, for texture.
