SFOGLIAFACILE XL Dough Sheeter

I am a home baker, and I don't run a business. The first thing was, no instructions, no recipes. You would not think that that is important, but it is. The sheeter is solidly constructed, and it has a handle on the side that allows you to get repeatable thicknesses. It is very easy to turn. My first 2 tries were failures. Pizza dough ripped up in the machine. Danish did the same. My third try on pizza dough was much better. The thing is, if you know your dough, take it in small steps. Make sure that the dough is not too loose. In the end, I can see me putting away the rolling pin for a long time. By the way, with the weight of the machine, if you set it on dycem, it will not move, and you don't have to use the clamps.

I was extreme happy to see this table top small manual dough sheeter machine seeing at Amazon. I cannot find this type of table manual dough sheeter machine in my country (Asia). I can only find commercial type of dough sheeter machine which cost 4 times the price of this brand Pastaline Stigliafaclie Maxi Dough Sheeter. I can use this machine to start a home bake business to do fondant cake and pastry. I love making croissants, with this machine I am able to adjust the dough thickness. When you are into baking getting a good baking tools is like a dream come true.

I will be HAPPY to revise my rating once I am contacted by the store. This item was ordered then was told it was out of stock and would be a significant delay in shipping. I had ordered it in time for a big event and needed this to make several items, it did not arrive in time but I still needed this item and plan to use it long term, IF I can figure out how to properly use it. The above states ....."Manual Chocolate Modelling Machine Made in Italy Directions in English". What arrived was a manual with ONLY DIRECTIONS IN ITALIAN. Which is absolutely worthless to me. I think but can't tell but this is meant to go from 12 mm to 0 mm but there are more than 13 eyelets or holes to take the roller thickness down and I can't even by doing some deduction if it goes down by 1 mm increments 1/2 mm increments....there should be 26 holes if so or 13 but the holes are only 21 , so HOW does that translate to 0 to 12 mm??? Does anyone who uses this item, have a better understanding of this item? I need items at products at 3 mm thick and 6 mm thick and would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have. I have contacted LaGondola.it./Pastaline and if I can get clarification AND an ENGLISH user's manual I'll be happy to revise my rating up. It IS a heavy duty item, seems very well built and I do believe it will offer many years of exceptional service. You can tell it's quality made but it is not intuitive. I would have expected for the price, like other's I've viewed, to have the mm markings highlighted with number and not just holes so that you could easily and quickly make products without guessing or wondering or trying to measure or just roll the dough out then using a ruler to evaluate the dough thickness. This is definitely a design flaw and poor customer/user experience in both the short and long term.

Machine works well when it can be operated by two people simultaneously. It is difficult to try and roll out a large piece of fondant by myself using one hand to hold and manipulate the fondant and the other hand to crank. Just doesn’t work. I tried using a silicone mat to help in doing it by myself but that didn’t work either as the mat would get stuck due to it’s texture. Otherwise, it is a well built machine...just need an assistant to operate which I don’t have.

This dough sheeter is worth every penny! Tried it out today and it is very well built and sturdy. Best to budget for a work table to go with it. I did make a modification to it. I bought a 24 inch baking pan and attached it to the actual sheeter, to make the existing shelf a bit bigger. Without this modification, I would have trouble rolling out my fondant.

Desde el 2020 me compré esta laminadora con el fin de simplificar el trabajo, lo intenté varias veces y es imposible poder trabajar con ella pues no tiene bandejas que ayuden a transferir la masa sin que se quiebre, si los diseñadores le hacen una bandeja arriba y abajo para poder poner la masa se puede usar , de lo contrario hay que tener 4 manos para usarla y es ahí donde pierde el uso funcional, 2025 la vuelvo a sacar de la caja para darle otra oportunidad y finalmente llego a la conclusión que he desperdiciado el dinero pues compre la XL. 😢😢😢

Took forever to arrive but was worth the wait. Also has to pay customs duties aside from shipping fees separately. Works very well and very sturdy. Used for rolling dough pastry but yet to try fondant. Super heavy!

Really well made machine, and could be great for the right bakery...but not for me. :^( You for sure need a 2nd pair of hands. I am a one-person business and could not use it. For the larger sheets of Fondant I needed to roll out.

Estaba muy emocionada con esta compra, es de buena calidad, pero al usarla me decepcione. es imposible trabajar grandes cantidades, en ese caso, se necesitan mínimo dos personas para usarla, Es un defecto de diseño que la masa no pueda sostenerse por si misma atrás mientras tu giras la manivela. Muy grande la maquina para la calidad de masa que efectivamente puedes manejar cómodamente. Los videos que vi en las reseñas funcionan porque los hacen con cantidades muy pequeñas

The product is amazing. It is very sturdy and it rolls different types of dough. It is easy to use. However, you might need extra hands to use it. I always work with someone else, so it is perfect for me. Customer service is excellent! I had a question about the product and the delivery and I contacted the seller. Carlo replied to me very quick and they came with a solution. I’m very pleased with the product and it’s performance. I recommend it to anyone who does baking

j'utilise ce matériel pour faire de la pates feuillettée, le matériel est trés bien, de plus j'ai reçu le matériel 5 jours avant la date prévue, le colis est bon

Fantastic and professional customer service

I am loving this dough sheeter! It arrived in a timely manner and in perfect condition! It works so well - what a time saver! Great purchase - highly recommend it!
