Diamond 426M Matrice En Bronze "Orecchiette"

Bronze dies like this one shape the dough as it's forced through the extruder, and this listing covers Orecchiette. It's a short, cupped pasta shape from southern Italy, designed to scoop up broken-down sauces and crumbled toppings. The usual trade-off with bronze is a slower extrusion speed than Teflon, but the coarser surface it leaves on the pasta is the one most chefs and diners actually prefer. Diamond offers this cut in a few different die sizes to suit different extruders, so it's worth checking this code against your machine's spec before ordering. Diamond backs it with a one-year parts warranty, and it weighs about 1kg as supplied.
