Hello, how big are the perforations? How many raw spaghetti noodles can fit through one? Thank you so much.

I could fit 2 angel hair pasta in one. I have never had any width spaghetti fall through but rice gets stuck in the holes if you try to rinse it in the strainer. I really like the strainer though. It folds up neatly in the cabinet and is lightweight.

I'm going to guess that probably 3 to 6 raw vermicelli noodles would go through a perforation at a time but it would depend of course on the size noodle, It's a great strainer though and I highly recommed it. I really like the fact that you can "fold" it up for storage!

I used Ronzoni Smart Taste Thin Spagetti and was only able to fit two in. I've never had a problem with cooked pasta leaking through and the water drains nicely. I still love it, it hanging on a hook inside my cabinet taking up no space!!

Oatmeal, no problem. Star pasta(like Campbell's chicken and stars soup) sure. The are that it must fit through is about the size of a McDonalds milkshake straw, so if your fruit or veg is relatively soft and could fit through that sized opening, then it should be able to come through this ok. I wouldn't want the chunks to be solid enough to pose a choking hazard though--even an adult could get an unwelcome surprise sucking a green pea through a short straw right? So I would go with at least a "mashed" consistency, not a "chopped" texture if you get my meaning.

The perforated section that can be punched through is not easy to break open! I took a small knife, cut where you can see the perforation marks, and then it punched through pretty easily.

I just did a Google search for "lello pastamaster 3000 pro manual" and it brought up a link to a printable PDF file. Happy hunting. *Funny, but at noon I wilted 16 oz of spinach in a skillet, strained off the liquid by SQUEEZING in paper towels, mixed with 3 egg yolks in my blender, and used it as the liquid with 4 cups (15 oz) unbleached AP flour to make a killer spinach linguine for tonight. I use this machine weekly. Made pasta for 16 guests this past Saturday.

They vary a little with technique, but the cooked result is about the size of spaghetti or just a little larger when constant pressure is applied. Length depends on the vegetable and if you cut it. Raw size is a little larger. It makes about 8 strips per inch width of vegetable.

The holes are about 2mm in diameter, perfect for spaghetti or angel hair pasta but not for small grains like quinoa for which you should use a fine mesh strainer.

Hi Kim, Thank you so much for your interest! I am really sorry for our delay in responding to you - I only saw this today. 1) How many sheets are in each package? &gt; About 22 sheets per package, 6 packages per case. You'll get 1 case for what you pay. 2) What size are the sheets? &gt; 8.5 inches 3) How long is the shelf life? &gt; Please see on package for the exact date. But they last a while, as they're like dried pasta. 4) How do they need to be stored? &gt; Just in your kitchen cupboard, like rice or dried pasta. Please let us know if there's any other questions. Thank you again for your interest and have a lovely day. Thao

Maybe 3 cups of anything. Starch from noodles may plug steam vents in top, trapping steam. Could explode. Is best used for steaming non-starch veggies.

Kathy, I was dissappointed in their size. The inside (cooking area) of the small one is only 5"x5 1/4", the medium one is 6"x61/4", and the large one is 71/2"x71/2". They are all approx. 13/4" deep. Since there is only my husband and myself these suffice, but if you need to prepare for a family or guests, in my estimation these are too small.

I believe they are too small for individual servings of lasagna. I use mine only for leftovers.

They are 8" in diameter. They are smaller than my other pasta bowl, which are about 9" across.

I don't know exact measurements, but I would compare them to spaghetti and linguine noodles. Hope that helps.

I agree. Small gaps are not a big problem and you can limit the gaps on the edges by increasing the gaps in the middle. 1/4" gaps are not going to hurt the end result. Excuse my repeating myself, but the MOST important thing is to make sure you have some liquid on the top layer of noodles, even if you have to dilute the sauce a bid.

The handles are rigid. I suppose spaghetti could push through the holes, but it hasn't been a problem for me.

There are 5 Blades (Sharp Wheels ) approximately 1/2 " apart and Assuming that you have a means of rolling out your "Noodle dough" and a steady hand , You could probably make noodles with this tool providing the dough is dry enough where it wont stick to the blades.You've given me an idea so the next time I make Chicken soup I'll try it. If you are doing this , it would probably be a good idea to "Google " Home made Noodles for more opinions. Vinnie :-)

only if you lay them down and bend them into a curve. I have cooked spaghetti that way and it worked fine. you can't lay them out straight. you really should buy a real spaghetti pan with a strainer.

Hi Samantha. I don't know the exact measurements of the pasta, but I'd say they are approximately an 1/8th inch spaghetti cut and a 1/2 inch fetaccini cut.
