Default Re: How do you cook.....?

You mean as opposed to mixing it in a bowl and then dumping it on a floured surface? I don't know fer sure, but the whole process seems to be about flour control. Like, once you beat the eggs in the well, you fork the flour in gradually until the ball forms. Usually there's extra flour that you then use as the dusting material when you're kneading.

Is your well wide enough? It's more important that it be wide than it be tall, in my experience. The thicker the city walls, the harder it is for anything to get in, or out, in this case, and it's hella easier to beat the eggs without splatter when you have some room. I've never measured mine and I completely suck at eyeballing measurements, but if I were to guess, I'd say it's maybe four inches in diameter?

Anyways people make egg pasta dough in stand mixers and shit, so obviously it's not a law that you have to do the well.
