Package Contents

Verify that all components are present upon unboxing:

• 1 x Marcato RT-ARG Aluminum Ravioli Tablet (makes 10 ravioli)
• 1 x Marcato Rolling Pin (typically included for sealing)

Setup

Before first use, ensure the ravioli tablet is clean. Place the tablet on a stable, flat surface. No assembly is required for the tablet itself.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to make perfect ravioli with your Marcato tablet:

1. Prepare Pasta Dough: Roll out your fresh pasta dough into thin sheets. The thickness should be appropriate for ravioli, typically around setting 6 or 7 on a pasta machine. Ensure the sheets are wide enough to cover the entire tablet.
2. Dust the Tablet: Lightly dust the aluminum ravioli tablet with flour to prevent sticking.
3. First Pasta Sheet: Lay one sheet of pasta dough over the floured tablet, gently pressing it into the indentations of each mold.
4. Add Filling: Place a small amount of your desired ravioli filling into each indentation. Do not overfill.
5. Second Pasta Sheet: Carefully lay a second sheet of pasta dough over the filling, aligning it with the first sheet.
6. Seal the Ravioli: Use the provided rolling pin to firmly roll over the top pasta sheet. Apply even pressure to seal the two pasta sheets together and cut the individual ravioli. The edges of the tablet will create the characteristic crimped edges.
7. Remove Ravioli: Gently invert the tablet to release the formed ravioli. If they stick, use a small, blunt tool to carefully push them out.
8. Cook or Store: Cook the fresh ravioli immediately in boiling salted water or allow them to dry slightly before storing them in the refrigerator or freezer.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your ravioli tablet:

• Immediate Cleaning: Clean the tablet immediately after each use to prevent dough from drying and sticking.
• Dry Brush Cleaning: Use a dry brush or a wooden skewer to remove any residual flour or dough from the molds and crevices.
• Wipe Clean: Wipe the entire tablet with a dry cloth.
• DO NOT Wash: The Marcato Ravioli Tablet is not dishwasher safe and should not be immersed in water. Water can damage the anodized aluminum and oxidized coloring, leading to corrosion and affecting performance.
• Storage: Store the clean, dry tablet in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Ravioli Sticking:
  • Ensure the tablet is adequately floured before placing the first pasta sheet.
  • The pasta dough might be too sticky or too moist. Adjust your dough recipe or add more flour during rolling.
  • Ensure sufficient pressure is applied with the rolling pin to properly seal and cut the ravioli.
• Uneven Ravioli:
  • Ensure pasta sheets are rolled to a consistent thickness.
  • Distribute filling evenly in each mold.
  • Apply even pressure across the entire tablet when rolling with the pin.
• Edges Not Sealing:
  • The pasta dough might be too dry. Lightly moisten the edges of the bottom pasta sheet with water before placing the top sheet.
  • Ensure enough pressure is applied with the rolling pin.
  • Avoid overfilling the molds, as this can prevent proper sealing.
