Mexican cooks always have a molcajete, tortilla press, and hot chocolate molinillo whisk in their kitchen. Thai chefs know the importance of a well-crafted knife. These are not \"one-and-done\" tools - they've been in use for centuries, and for good reason. The molcajete can be used for making everything from salsa to guacamole to queso fundido, in addition to grinding herbs and spices for a variety of recipes. A citrus juicer is perfect for the morning cup of juice, and for making a vinaigrette to go with your citrus marinade for dinner. A molinillo will not only whip up the perfect cup of Mexican hot chocolate, it can also be used as a cocktail muddler. And of course, an all-purpose chefs knife will be a go-to any day. These valuable tools from around the world will find a special spot in the kitchen of novice and experienced home chefs alike.\u003c\/span\u003e","published_at":"2020-09-09T11:19:10-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"International Kitchen Tools"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-09-09T14:44:59-06:00","alt":null,"width":5295,"height":3439,"src":"\/\/verveculture-wholesale.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/20200709_VERVE_Bowls_0521.jpg?v=1599684300"}},{"id":219809448088,"handle":"kitchen-essentials","title":"Kitchen Essentials","updated_at":"2024-04-10T18:08:19-06:00","body_html":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExplore our range of kitchen essentials from around the world, including hand-forged knives from Thailand and artisan-made juicers, tortilla presses, glassware, and more from Mexico.\u003c\/span\u003e","published_at":"2020-09-09T10:37:09-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"kitchen essentials"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-09-09T10:37:07-06:00","alt":null,"width":1254,"height":856,"src":"\/\/verveculture-wholesale.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/VCTMKS_9.jpg?v=1599669428"}}]
Prepare to make homemade pasta that any Italian grandmother would be proud of. All you need is flour, egg, and our Italian Chitarra Pasta Cutter - the pasta-making essential. Made of natural wood and strung like a guitar, the Chitarra (pronounced key-tahr-rah) reflects the musicality and artistry that Italians bring to their cuisine.
Spaghetti alla chitarra
The Chitarra was invented in the 1800s from Chieti, Italy to make long strings of pasta the old-fashioned way. Equipped with iron strings, these are each spaced equally on both sides but with different thickness and a slanted center that allows the various kinds of pasta to slide off easily.
Made in Italy
Traditional, guitar-like tool used to make pasta the Italian way
Dual-sided unit produces 3 mm and 6 mm noodles
Made of beechwood with stainless steel wire strings
By pressing down on the wires, the spaghetti pieces fall through. The wires will cut the pasta into equal sized strips that fall through the wires. The strips of pasta can be collected through the open side. Use one side for thinner noodles, and flip around and use the bottom for wider noodles.
Dimensions & Care
Large Chitarra - 17 X 8.5 X 3.5 in. Rolling Pin: 9.5'' x 1 in.
Hand wash only. Use a pastry scraper to remove any sticky pieces of dough. Treat wood and wires with food-safe mineral oil to keep your chitarra in prime condition. Never run through the dishwasher. Store in a clean, dry place.
Over time, strings may become loose. To tighten, use a large flathead screwdriver to rotate the two silver screws until strings are taut.
