Ammonite Experiments - Here's the penny for a size reference. See how the cane is reduced? One end is wide and the other end is narrow. To make a sheet like this you slice very thin slices of three different sizes. Large size slices get laid down first. Lay it on a gold sheet and press at the widest setting. Narrow the rollers a notch and turn the sheet and press a second time. Narrow the rollers another notch and turn the sheet again and press a third time. Do it again a fourth time. Lay down the medium size slices, press four times. Lay down the little slices and press four times. Each time you lay down a different size slice you do that four part press, going in all directions narrowing the rollers gradually. This has three layers, so 12 passes through the pasta press in all. |
