— Ann Smith

Answer:

So, you know whether a pasta machine is going to be cost efficient to you, you know is Emma. It's really it's kind of depend on you know, how frequently you you really crave pasta, you know, we don't make pasta very much at home. But we have a pasta machine because we like to make pasta when You know that that urge comes and so you know one's consideration is going to be very different. But I mean if you know gluten-free pasta is something that you enjoy a lot, you know, you might start out by by hand cutting your pasta. So, you know a pasta machine isn't necessary. You can roll out the pasta and then hand cut it with a large knife with a chef's knife. Now, sometimes we might have a limitation on on the rolling that we can or can't do the rolling pin in which case, you know, a machine a pasta machine maybe necessary in order for us to produce the pasta that satisfies that need or that craving. Okay. So think about it if you have the space to store a pasta machine that you might use once in a while if you've got the budget, you know to to buy. Pasta machine, you know they, you know, depend what brand new what size you buy what kind you buy. It can be a few hundred dollars, you know or something less expensive. So look at your options. Look at your situation. Think about your pasta requirements in your own diet and then go forth.
