Can you use this to make homemade noodles?

I've never used my OXO herb mincer to cut homemade noodles, but it seems like it might work for that. It does very well at its intended purpose of mincing leafy herbs by slicing them into strips with the first pass through them and then slicing the herbs into ever smaller bits by passing the mincer back and forth over the leaves at changing angles. The four blades are 5/16 inch apart, so a single pass over rolled out noodle dough might well slice thin noodles. However, that is not the intended use of the tool. If it doesn't work for cutting noodles, you could always use it to mince fresh basel to sprinkle on your noodles.

I never have done that, but if you were to make your pasta dough and roll it out really thin, I dont see why you couldn't roll the miner length wise across - the blades are spaced far enough apart that you could have a linguini thickness I'd think. This works SO well to mince herbs quickly - its honestly worth the cost just for that! If it works for pasta too, then thats a bonus :)

Yes, I've used it to make whipped cream, additionally there is a stainless steel bowl available (not inexpensive).

Yes you can use this but it is whole wheat so it isn't going to taste exactly the same. I normally make bread with it and have made pancakes with it and they both came out great.

sure, have used it to boil pasta and veggies. I would not fry with it though, although I am sure you could.

Yes but I wouldn't really recommend this product. I think the pasta comes out mushy or all stuck together. It's easier to wash a pot...

I generally use it for soup stock, but I'm sure it would be great for boiling lasagna noodles. It's very versatile

I believe so. I don't sell it, I've just bought it a few times. It's really good and the noodles have a light hint of garlic. I use it when I make chicken alfredo.

It would work, makes a perfect size "noodle". But it is a bit of a knuckle buster, be careful.

I use it to slightly flame fried rice fried noodles. I don't have a hot enough stove to get that nice roasted flavor to my stir fry like the restaurants

Yes you can, I did it sometimes but I used it more to make a flour for ma home made bread :-)

I think you could - just remember to follow the instructions on how long the spurts of chopping should be. But I would use this for the chopping and then to puree I would use one of the hand blenders - that would make it really smooth.

I see no reason why you couldn't use it for blanching. Instead of cooking pasta just put your vegetables in the inner basket. Then when you're ready you can pull the basket out with the vegetable in it and set it in ice water.

I have never done that but I don't see why not. Of course it would depend on cooking time. You would not want to steam something that would take longer than the pasta to cook. Know what ? I think I'll try it. Hope this helps. CW

I really appreciate the potato ricer for making spaetzle, a German dumpling noodle that my mother used to make. But I have no experience in using it or the food mill for mashed potatoes or deviled eggs. I usually make too large a quantity to make either of these tools a practical choice for me so I'm sorry I'm not in a position to answer your question directly. I personally find a hand mixer very convenient for either purpose. That way you can avoid having to scoop many small batches into the ricer or the mill in addition to working either tool. A hand mixer would mix it all at once and be easier to operate (in my opinion). I hope this was helpful.

While we use this for making "speatzle" it would seem that it would be suitable for making rice noodles . . . it is very sturdy.

If you have a kitchen aid stand mixer you are ready to make ravioli and any other kind of pasta. You can're bet home made pasta. Good luck and have fun.

I do not cook the noodles in this. I only reheat them after I have cooked them on the stove. I use this cup to take leftovers to work.
