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.

@gfweb-- I'd be interested to here from him... @gfron1. His thoughts. Before I knew what it was, I had stained hands, nice berries in a simmering pot with honey. stewed down and tasted it ( just a little ). I had no effects , but I'm not going to be using it for a food source. Crazy thing too, birds and those Japenese beatles dont eat it either. HUmmmmm--nature
