We have designed these machines to be very easy for you to use (and clean) while
making them powerful and efficient.
Be creative and develop different kinds of pasta and homemade sausage. Enjoy it and
have fun.
MIX on your switch stands for MIX. It means to blend together.
EXT on your switch stands for Extrude. It means to “push out”.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE
Make sure your machine is unplugged before assembly.
1. Place mixing bin all the way onto the base. The machine will not work if the
mixing bin is not flush against back wall of base.
2. Put the white screw through the face plate all the way.
3. Slip the mixing blade onto the white screw shaft by lining up the grooves on the
white screw shaft and the mixing blade.
4. Insert the mixing assembly loosely into the mixing bin, with the shaft going into
the hole in the base.
5. Line up the face plate dots. Push the mixing assembly fully in, and turn the face
plate to the right. Matching up both lower dots.
6. Note: The front tab on the lid locks the slot on the front of the bin. The lid must be
securely closed to operate the machine.
7. Be sure the white screw is all the way in.
8. Select a pasta die and slide it onto the front of the face plate. Match the 6
notches. Sausage horns are inserted into the locking ring before attaching to
machine.
9. Screw the locking ring over the pasta die or sausage horn to secure it.
10. If your model has a locking ring pasta cutter, snap it into one of the two holes
on the locking ring. The top hole is for thick dies (macaroni), the bottom hole is
for regular dies.
You’re ready to make fresh pasta and homemade sausage!
ABOUT FRESH PASTA
Which Flour?
Many flours work well with your pasta/ sausage maker. In addition to semolina pasta
flour, we’ve tested the recipes with Gold Medal™ Bread Flour, All Purpose and
Whole Wheat Flour. Our preference at Ronco Inventions, LLC is Gold Medal™
Bread Flour because of the high gluten content.
Measuring Pasta Flour
Measure 2 cups of flour with a standard glass measuring cup. What’s easier to use is a
1-cup dry flour measuring cup with a handle. Always remember to use 2 cups of
flour. Be sure to tap the dry measuring cup a couple times to get rid of air pockets.
Use the back of a knife to level flour. Herbs and spices can be added for additional
flavor before or while machine is running in the mix mode.
Measuring Pasta Liquid
You may have a round measuring cup with lid or a dry measuring cup with a handle
that has liquid measurements marked on it. Either one of these cups is self-
explanatory. For 2 cups flour, always use 2 Tbsp olive oil (we recommend Bertolli),
and liquid up to the appropriate line (egg is optional).
Water or Juice?
You can use spinach, carrot, tomato or just about any vegetable juice instead of water
when making homemade pasta. Mix and watch your combination of flour and liquid
develop in the pasta bin in 4 minutes. Depending on the humidity in your area, you
may need to add additional flour or liquid. If you pasta mix is too moist, add flour 1
Tablespoon at a time, while the machine is in mix mode, to achieve the perfect
consistency. If it is too dry, add liquid 1 teaspoon at a time to achieve the perfect
consistency (see page 9).
Cooking Pasta
Cooking pasta “al dente” [to the tooth] firm and chewy is preferred. Don’t overcook
your pasta; it will become too soft and not very appealing. Some of the smaller pasta
shapes such as angel hair, vermicelli and spaghetti takes as little as 30-seconds to a
minute to cook (unlike hard, dried out package pasta). Larger, thicker shapes such as
rigatoni or macaroni of course take longer to cook. Cook in 4-6 quarts of boiling
salted water, remove immediately. After pasta is “al dente”, rinse in cold water to
stop the cooking process.
HOW TO MAKE FRESH PASTA
1. Machine off, lid open. Fill a standard glass measuring cup with 2 cups of flour or
use a dry measuring cup with handle, or use liquid measuring cup which may be
included, up to the 1 cup flour line. Always use 2 cups of flour. Pour into mixing
bin. Close mixing bin lid.
2. Select Pasta Shaping die you want to use. Place in hot water for one minute.
3. Put the heated die on the front of the machine and secure it with the locking ring.
4. In the round measuring cup that comes with your Pasta/ Sausage Maker, pour 2
tbsp. of olive oil to the “Oil” line. Then, add 1 large egg (optional) to the olive oil
already in the round measuring cup, put lid on cup tightly and shake vigorously
for 5 seconds or use a fork to blend olive oil & egg together. Then add water for
plain pasta or use strained vegetable juice of your choice (tomato, carrot, beet, or
spinach) instead for delicious colored and flavored pasta. Liquid is added to the
“Oil + Egg + Liquid” line. If not using an egg, then it’s 2 tbsp. of olive oil to the
“Oil” line then add water or vegetable juice to the oil up to the “Oil + Liquid”
line. Push switch on the pasta machine to MIX, add liquid by pouring slowly back
and forth through the liquid crease on the lid of your clear bin. Mix flour and
liquid for 4 minutes. Push switch to STOP and then to EXT (extrude).
5. Turn OFF and let motor stop completely. Never switch form MIX to EXT or
from EXT to MIX without stopping first.
6. Turn machine to EXT (extrude) and watch your pasta come out the front. Cut it
off at desired lengths with the backside of a table knife or with the optional
locking ring pasta cutter.
7. Cook fresh pasta in 4-6 quarts of boiling salted water. Drain and serve with sauce.
Angel hair cooks in 30 seconds. Spaghetti in 1 minute, and macaroni in a minute
and a half to 2 minutes.
Just Right
Well mixed, after mixing at least 4 minutes. Small pea-sized lumps.
Too Dry
Still powdery. Just add liquid (water or juice) by teaspoonful while machine is on
MIX. Watch for small lumps to appear.
Too Wet
Large wet lumps stick to blades? Add flour 1 tablespoon at a time while machine is
on MIX until you have small pea-sized lumps. You may have to stop machine and
take dough off blades.
PASTA MAKING TIPS
Your Popeil Automatic Pasta & Sausage Maker™ has been designed to be easy to
use and easy to clean. Be creative and develop new recipes that include your favorite
spices and flavoring. Here are a few tips that will help:
• You Can reuse fresh dough. - If you want to change pasta shapes, stop the
machine, put the extruded dough back into the bin, change the pasta die and
mix for 30 seconds before going back to extruding.
• Storing Pasta - Fresh pasta can be frozen for up to 6 months or refrigerated
for a few days. It stores best if first left to dry separated about an hour so the
pasta doesn’t pack together. We recommend storing in Ziploc™ brand storage
bags.
• Extruding Remaining Dough – When you get down to the last couple of
ounces of pasta mix, tilt your machine forward to make sure your machine
completely empties out. You don’t have to hold it.
• Length of Pasta – You can achieve long pasta lengths by placing your
machine close to the edge of the counter or table, so that the pasta can
continue to flow toward the floor. Cut at desired length.
• Cutting Pasta – Use the back of a butter knife flush against the die for your
pasta cutting.
• Pasta Sticking Together? – Probably too wet so add flour 1 Tablespoon at a
time (see page 9). Keep the strands of pasta separate as they come out. Use
your hand to gently ruffle the strands in front of the fan drier while extruding.

Casings
Our sausage casings are used in most of the store bought sausages sold today. The edible
collagen casings that come with the Popeil Pasta & Sausage Maker provide the perfect
finish for your sausage.
HOW TO MAKE FRESH SAUSAGE
1. Select a sausage horn and put it in the locking ring. Slide a length of casing (up to
three feet) over the horn leaving about 2 inches at the end hanging.
2. Meat, Fish, Poultry – With machine off and lid open, add up to 2 lbs. of ground or
finely cut up (1/2” chunks) meat, fish or poultry and one package of seasoning of
your choice. Seasoning packets are 2 lbs or meat, fish or poultry; if using less than
2 lbs, adjust seasonings accordingly. Close lid. (Additional small amounts of
filler, such as chopped, cooked vegetables or rice, ect., also can be added.)
Vegetables – Cut into small pieces up to 2 lbs. of cooked vegetables such as rice,
potatoes, herbs, peas, corn, carrots, ect. Vegetables must be cooked! Switch
machine to MIX and blend meat and seasonings or vegetables and seasonings of
your choice for 30 seconds. Turn machine OFF.
3. Turn machine to EXT (extrude) and hold the twisted end of the sausage casing
firmly, and as it fills, gently pulling and guiding the filled casing away from the
horn. When casing has filled to desired sausage length, hold sausage in place with
one hand; detach filled casing from your machine and place on a flat surface. Use
the forefinger of your other hand to compress sausage firmly into an oval shape.
This will reduce the amount of sausage length to be, twist 3 times. Continue these
steps until all of your sausages are made. To separate your sausages, use your
scissors to cut and twist. See instructional video to make sausage links.
DO NOT OVERFILL CASINGS because meat and food expands when heated and
will split casting. To help relieve pressure inside sausage casing, use the pin included
with your Pasta/ Sausage Maker to poke a few holes in each of your sausages.
Note: if meat sticks to mixing blade while mixing, stop machine and scrape off with
soft rubber scraper. If sausage mixture is too moist, add bread crumbs or cooked rice.
SAUSAGE MAKING TIPS
• Cleanliness is a priority: Be sure all surfaces and utensils that come in contact
with the sausage as it is being prepared are perfectly clean. This includes
hands, cutting boards, knives, spatulas, ect.
• Keep your working area clean and uncluttered
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water often. Bacteria thrive at
room temperature.
• Keep meat cool at all times. Work fast and refrigerate meat as soon as
possible. Don’t leave meat sitting out on the counter if you take a break.
COOKING FRESH HOMEMADE SAUSAGE
Through cooking is absolutely necessary when preparing all poultry, meat or fish
sausages. If you’re frying or sautéing sausages, use the new Amazing Ronco Spatula
(also available through customer service (818) 775-4680) when turning sausages over.
Don’t forget to poke a few holes in each of your sausages with the pin included with your
Pasta/ Sausage Maker. Larger sausages take longer to cook than the smaller breakfast
links. Always check the center of sausage by cutting sausage with a knife to make
absolutely sure your sausage is thoroughly cooked.
Pan Fry – Put sausage in skillet with 2 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil. (optional)
Add ½ cup water. Cook slowly over a medium- low heat for about 10-12 minutes until
sausage is brown on all sides. Make absolutely sure your sausages are cooked thoroughly
by cutting with a knife through the center.
Oven Bake – Cook sausages in a shallow baking pan in a pre-heated 375° oven for about
30-45 minutes.
.
Grill – Brush links with butter, margarine or olive oil and grill over low coals. Cook
slowly, turning to brown evenly until thoroughly cooked.
CLEANING
Cleaning your Popeil Automatic Pasta/ Sausage Maker™ is easy. After Making
pasta or sausage just follow these steps:
All of the parts are dishwasher safe except the base which houses the motor. Wipe the
base unit clean with a soft damp cloth using a light detergent. Do not submerge base
in water!
To disassemble remove lid first!
1. Unplug the machine, disassemble it, remove any lumps of dough and let it dry
out for 1 hour for easier cleaning.
2. If the Locking Ring cannot easily be removed, run the machine on MIC for a
few seconds to relieve the pressure. Stop machine and use your hand to
remove it or use the Wrench counter-clockwise to unlock the Locking Ring.
Make sure you stop machine after pressure is relieved.
3. Remove excess dough from the dies and let them dry out on a window still or
table or freeze them. Use the pick to remove dried dough (or try knocking
them on a counter top and the dough often falls out).
4. You can put all pieces except the motor base in the dishwasher.
5. It is important to prevent flour or dough from building up in the hole at the
back of the base.
6. Keep the air and fan vents in the front free of any flour or contaminants. If
something should get in there, hold the unit with the vents facing down and
gently shake out any flour.
7. The only way to clean out the sausage horns while attached to the machine
that are filled with sausage ingredients is to add 2-3 slices of broken fresh
bread into the bin and push EXT. This will push ingredients out.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Avoid problems with your Pasta/ Sausage Maker™, read all the Safeguards,
Cautions and Instructions in this booklet. Here are the solutions to common
problems:
Machine Stops While Mixing or Extruding – If machine stops while mixing or
extruding, hold bin against back wall until machine does not stop anymore. You can
solve the problem if stopping occurs in the mix mode by stopping the machine, lifting
the lid and removing any pasta dough stuck under the lid. Close lid on machine and
continue.
Machine Won’t Start - Be sure:
• It is plugged in
• Lid is securely latched
• Mixing bin is all the way back against the base
Delayed Starting – You may have a 1-second delay feature. If you do, your machine
will start after 1 second. If you have a manual switch, it will start immediately.
Cleaning Problems – It’s easier to clean the parts after you let the parts dry in open
air for 1-hour.
Slow Extruding Pasta – Dough needs to be the correct consistency. See How to
Make Fresh Pasta Section. Set the die in very hot water for one minute prior to
making pasta. You can always correct your extruded pasta by putting it back into the
mixing bin and starting over before it dries out.
Can’t Remove Locking Ring – Switch to MIX for a few seconds. This will relieve
pressure on the Locking Ring and die. Use the Wrench to help unscrew the Locking
Ring.
Machine Noises – Noise = Power. But loud clunks are not normal. Stop and be sure
your machine is assembled correctly. Also see the Cleaning Section to be sure it is
clean.
Friction-Steam from the Die – Some hot steam escaping from the pasta die is
normal. Don’t tough dies when they are hot during and after extruding.
Electrical Problems – If you ever detect smoke, burning smells, or any electrical
problem, unplug the machine and return it as instructed in the Warranty.
Can’t Line Up Dots on Faceplate – If you can’t line up the dots on your faceplate,
this indicates that the faceplate is not clean and there may be excess flour buildup. It
must be removed from the locking area, bin and faceplate. Make sure there’s no flour
in the white screw hole, which is behind the mixing bin (on motor base).
POPEIL 4-WAY RAVIOLI CUTTER
Lasagna Noodles & Ravioli
You may want to roll the lasagna noodles thinner with a rolling pin. Lay out the
noodles, place ¼ teaspoon of your filling on the center, toward the end in a lump.
Cover with another piece of noodle and cut with a ravioli shaped cutter.
(For convenience use a flat pasta die as a top to protect your palm)
Hints: if your noodles or ravioli aren’t sticking together, brush the edges with water
before cutting or use a small spray bottle with water to moisten the entire noodle.
Don’t try to put too much filling in your ravioli. A tiny amount works best.
Ravioli can be made with a variety of meats and cheeses. Be inventive and find the
ones that suit your family best. Serve them with your favorite Italian Sauces, or with a
combination of Bertolli Olive Oil, garlic and Italian herbs.
Here is a favorite recipe:
Combine 1 cup chopped spinach – Fresh or frozen (thaw & Drain)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional: Mix with 1 pound sautéed ground beef
Gently mix ingredients together and spoon small lumps (1/4 teaspoon) in the center of
the noodles, cover lump with another noodle and cut with the ravioli cutter.
Drop finished ravioli in boiling water for about 7 minutes. Drain.
Serve with either spaghetti sauce or the Creamy Dill Sauce in the Pasta Recipe Book.
