Philips Viva Pasta Maker Review

  • I'm always on the lookout for kitchen gadgets to feature in a video. This is touted as the number one fresh pasta maker in Italy, although most people there, just like elsewhere, prefer to buy dried pasta. You can buy a heck of a lot of bags of dried pasta for the price of this machine, so it’s definitely not a way to save money, it probably makes a better gift than it does an investment.
    Unlike most kitchen gadgets I’ve tested, this is one I will be using again. It’s surprisingly fun, it works well, there's something special about eating pasta you've just made and the cost of using it is negligible.
    Unfortunately the place I bought mine from (Coolshop) no longer stock them - but according to the Philips website it is now being sold officially in the U.K. for £170

    It's pretty simple to make flavoured pasta - e.g. To make carrot flavoured pasta you replace the water in the mixture with carrot juice...and the same goes for Tomato etc.
    UPDATES
    1 - According to the Philips Website the machine should also now be available in the U.K. (when I bought mine in November 2017 it wasn’t). Although I can’t find anywhere with any stock.
    2) - The toy I mentioned was not from Playmobil - it was the Playdoh mop top hair shop
    3) I pronounced penne incorrectly a couple of times in this video. That’s how my family always pronounced it - although to be honest I don't think it's a word we said very much. You'll also notice that I also pronounce it correctly once in the video. However this slight difference in pronunciation seems to have people rioting in the streets. I know it’s difficult, but please try to get past this horrendous and awfully upsetting event - I'm working on arranging counselling sessions for all the affected people. It is a deeply shocking and sobering event for us all, may god have mercy on my soul.
    4) Very few people read this box or the pinned comment, so expect lots of comments repeating the things above.

      I made tagliatelle once, by hand, ie I mixed the egg and flour in a bowl with a wooden spoon, rolled it out with a rolling pin, and cut it into strips with a knife.
      Unfortunately I undercooked the pasta as I was too afraid of overcooking it, since everyone I had told I was going to make it told me to be careful not to overcook it, as it takes much shorter than dry pasta, and the recipe assumed the pasta would be thinner (as made by a machine, rather than the thicker hand cut) and I couldn't keep on cooking it further as I finished cooking it by tossing it in the sauce.
      Anyways the pasta was undercooked and had such a bite to it as if I was eating meat, so texture wise it was horrible, non the less, flavour wise it was the best tasting pasta I've ever had in my life

    Dear Techmoan, thank you for your video. Fresh pasta is very different from dry pasta, you have to cook shortly fresh pasta until it floats on the surface of (salted) water, normally it requires 3 minutes. I think that in 5 minutes you obtain am overcooked pasta. Nice machine! :) Hello from Italy! :)

    I've owned a pasta maker not unlike this one in the past. What I found was what you've found. It's really cheaper to buy dry pasta than making it with this rather costly machine. It's really overkill if you're just going to make standard pasta. The benefit to a pasta maker is that you can make it with whatever flour you like rather than being limited by what the store carries. The only real downside is that you have to eat all of the pasta you make or you need to put it in the fridge. It's not like dried pasta that keeps in a container for a long time. You could dry it in a dehydrator and make your own dried pasta, but that's an extra step and it requires a dehydrator. And then there's the machine cleanup. Overall, it is fun to make, but the fun soon wears off when there aren't enough shapes and having to clean it up every time you use it. On top of that, it's a pretty chunky machine that you need to store someplace.

      Alek, for water to flour ratio I'm pretty much stick to the recommended measurement but I play around with the ingredients a fair bit sometimes I added rice flour/potato flour for a more chewy texture + herbs and spices . You'll get a hang of it after a little while, it only takes 3 Mins to make so hardly wasting any time to experiment and the cleaning process is a breeze.There are a lot of diff discs for various shapes even dumpling wrappers or the very fine angel hair noodle. Obviously it won't be as good as the properly made stuff but it's damn fun to play with and try out diff recipes. Making Udon noodle will be perfect with this :)

      I would say that if you use wholemeal, you need a little bit more liquid as that type of flour absorbs more, and maybe some olive oil to make it more pliable. But I'm no expert in noodles :P

    The adapters are called Die’s or Extruder Die’s. The best pasta is made with a Bronze die as it gives a rough texture for sauce to cling too. I used to make pasta in a food factory this is pretty much how the huge machine worked. 😀👍🏻

    I have a similar machine and love it. Here's some tips, make multiple batches and freeze what you don't use in dinner sized quantities, that way what you lose at the end is smaller when you consider you've done half a dozen batches. I wrap them in waxed paper and at dinner time just grab a bundle and drop it in boiling water, frozen pasta cooks in the same time as fresh which is less than half the time of the dried stuff. My wife is on a special diet and we make very inexpensive pasta compared to the expensive speciality diet pasta and the limited offers they have. Once you get used to eating fresh pasta you WILL notice the difference!

    Pretty neat little machine. Years ago, when the automatic bread makers came out, I got one for my wife, or should say the family. Was extremely easy to use, just dump in your measured ingredients, turn it on, and walk away. When it beeped four hours later,xwe had hot fresh bread. And it was really good. We experimented with different recipes and used the ones we liked. It was great, but the only drawback was the small loaves of bread, about half the size of the ones from the store. We would get fresh cream from a farmer friend and put it in a mason jar and while we waited, we'd make homemade sweetcream butter. Soon as the loaf came out of the machine, the whole family would attack it, and then it was gone 😢 then four more hours until the next loaf was ready. We could have got another machine, and doubled the output, but with them going for over $200 each at the time, it wasn't economically feasible.

    1) 3 minutes of mixing it's a very short time. Use manual feature and let the pasta maker work for, at least 7 minutes.
    2) Pasta fresca, the one you made, is cooked in 5 minutes or less: "al dente".
    3) You need, at least, some good olive oil and some "parmigiano reggiano or "grana padano" to taste you pasta fresca or, much better, just learn how to prepare "salsa": I think there is no salsa maker yet.
    4) Amazing video as usual. Commented just because I am Italian :-)

    Another great Techmoan offering. For those that care making your own pasta is really important. Pasta from the shops is just flour, water and stabilizer to make it last for ever. This just about qualifies as food. Home made pasta is egg based and has a short shelf life but you cook it immediately anyway. You can hand crank pasta and make tagliolini with nothing more than a kitchen knife, Jamie Oliver has a great video showing this. Me, I use my Kenwood Chef and attachments which is far more expensive than the Phillips but it makes me happy.....
