How to use

Attach the LA ROTELLA DENTATA Heritage cutter to the designated attachment point on a compatible Marcato manual pasta machine following the machine’s user instructions. Feed a sheet of rolled dough through the machine so that the cutter contacts the edge to be trimmed; guide the sheet steadily to obtain an even serrated edge. For portioning, align the cutter to the desired spacing and feed the dough to produce repeated cuts. Clean and dry the cutter after use according to the machine manufacturer’s care recommendations.

Recommendations

Use dough at an appropriate dryness for cutting—too wet dough may deform the serrated edge, while overly dry dough can crack. For delicate pastries, apply gentle, even pressure and steady feed speed. After cutting, allow pasta or pastry to rest briefly before cooking or baking to preserve shape. Store the cutter in a dry place and follow the pasta machine’s maintenance guidance to ensure consistent performance.
