Know before you buy
No, this die is specifically engineered for the Arcobaleno AEX-18 Pasta Extruder and is not guaranteed to be compatible with other brands or models.
The brass construction is intentional; it creates a slightly rougher, porous surface on the pasta. This texture helps sauces cling to the spaghetti much better than pasta made with smooth stainless steel dies.
After use, allow any remaining dough to dry slightly so it can be easily brushed out. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting the die in a dishwasher, as brass can oxidize or discolor; instead, clean it with warm water and a soft brush.
Yes, the 2.3mm measurement refers to the diameter of the spaghetti strand produced by the die, which is a standard thickness for authentic, high-quality spaghetti.
No, the die is designed for efficient operation and can be swapped easily as part of the standard setup process for the AEX-18 extruder.
