Imperia Italian Wooden Pasta Drying Stand

Not required in the end

very handy tool this its great

Basic design, but fine for that. Only reason for 4 stars is that it is not very tall so you need to chop your spaghetti to dry. Nonetheless, it's functional and does what it should so I recommend - just needs longer legs (like me!).

Good value product

Complete tack. Doesn't fit together properly. Wobbles all the time. It's FAR too small to be of any use. Too low, not enough space on the dowel "arms", even if they decide not to drop off! The wood is probably worth less than 50p. The concept, if it on a much grander scale i.e. 6 times bigger and of a much higher quality, would be great. Alas, this isn't the case. The only way it is of any use (to me, at least) is to sprawl as many strands of pasta as possible across the whole of the top surface but even then, with the pasta hanging down over each side, you have to cut the strands short enough so as not to touch the work-top. Also, I find it impossible to fit more than one (modest) portion of pasta on this contraption at any one time. In a word : useless. I gave it one star purely because the parts that don't drop off can easily be pulled off and used to kindle a BBQ. I now use a piece of string hanging between two cupboards. I can now dry at least 8 portions at a time, for 1p!!! Don't make the mistake I did... It looks pretty good on the screen but, in my opinion, that's where it should stay.

This is a good gizmo and perfect for the purpose, although a bit pricey for some machine cut bits of wood in my view. I used to ram wooden spoons into kitchen drawers but now my tagliatelle hangs safely and dries properly. There are two small challenges about this item, it's a nuisance to store because it takes up lots of room and the push and plug fit for the poles are too loose so I had to get the wood glue out, other than that it's a winner.

Along with the pasta machine and spaghetti making attachment this has turned out to be so useful. Great item and well priced.

This pasta drying stand is very helpful. The alternative is to lay home made pasta onto floured wooden surfaces or on towels. The stand takes up less space when making even small amounts of pasta and allows all of the pasta surface to be exposed to the air. It can be helpful to dry the pasta sheets a little before cutting too. The wooden pegs slide out to allow hanging cut long pasta to be quickly dropped into boiling water by sliding the pasta straight off without further handling. Easy assembly allows quick use and disassembly allows quick storage.
