POM screen Orecchiette small/piccole for Philips Avance. Orecchiette means something like “little ears” in German – they originally come from the Apulia region with the capital Bari. Traditionally they are made by hand, using a large wooden board, a knife and your fingers. You form a thin roll out of a piece of dough and cut off individual portions, then pull and push them forward at the same time with the handle of a kitchen knife and turn them into small mini ears. In our version, the orecchiette are formed by machine, the shape is slightly different than the hand version, but it is much faster and more relaxed.

We will respond to you promptly and tell you which matrices are right for you. POM is the abbreviation for polyoxymethylene, a guaranteed food-safe plastic. This is exactly the same material that is used in the Philips pasta maker matrices. POM has the advantage that it doesn't weigh much and you can put the matrices in the dishwasher for cleaning. Please note that the matrices are manufactured using micro milling. This is a complex process that enables delicate shapes. But small scratches from production and minor chips may be present, these are inevitable when using POM. It is always advisable to add a little more liquid than the pasta maker indicates and to only use cold liquids. The dough should be moist and crumbly. We recommend the following standard recipe for our matrices:Ingredients: 250 g durum wheat semolina or Semola rimacinata Choose ONE of the following ingredients: 100 ml cold water or 110 ml liquid consisting of two eggs, remaining water, lightly whiskedDirections: Please only use cold liquids. Avoid flour, replace it with semolina. Binders such as xanthan gum, gluten, etc. Use only a small amount, a maximum of 1 teaspoon per 500 grams of dry ingredients. Otherwise the dough will be too firm and the dies could break. If you knead the dough longer or If left to rest, the gluten will develop on its own. You can recognize a good pasta dough by the fact that it is moist and crumbly. The production of gluten-free pasta is also possible with the matrices. Immerse yourself in the world of your own pasta production with your palate friends. The taste of fresh homemade pasta is incomparably good.
