We had a doughnut maker when I was in halls as a present to one of the rich students I lived with. We all oohed and ahhed at the amazing doughnutty smells it produced
but like chocolate fountains, it produced so much mess and the resultant doughnuts were really not worth the effort as they were tiny and a bit crap.

Same applies to pasta mills, too.
I love the idea of making and rolling my own pasta, but it's been a long time since I actually did so. It's just waaaaaay too much effort.

Plus, though fresh home-made pasta tastes better, the texture isn't as good as the dried stuff. You can't get it al dente.

I gave mine away,
smiling privately to myself as I handed it over.
