Secret Technique for Philips Pasta Maker

The noodle is pretty good after you follow the standard program in the Philips Pasta Maker. However, I find that the bounciness (elasticity) is not enough for my preference. This can be solved by adjusting the kneading and resting time. There are 2 programs in this machine (10 minutes and 15 minutes). The first 3 minutes in each of the program is for kneading purpose. After you turn on the machine, it will automatically start the kneading process for 3 minutes. I then power it off and wait for about 15 to 30 seconds. This will allow the machine to shut down all the electronic components completely. It can keep your machine to last longer. Then power on the machine and start another 3 minutes kneading. I then repeat this process one more time. After the total of 9 minutes kneading, I power off the machine and let it rest for 30 minutes. The purpose of this 30 minutes is to allow enough time for the noodle dough to complete all the internal chemical process which is similar to the process of making bread. I then turn on the machine again by choosing one of the program depending of the serving portion. This small secret technique is to adjust the kneading time manually in order to increase the bounciness of noodle. You can then simply follow your own recipe to cook your favorite noodle.
