Dark Spots or Streaks in Dough - Pasta Roller

Dark spots/streaks in the dough

• A "food-safe" lubricant is applied to the roller and cutters during manufacturing to lubricate the rollers and help prevent rusting.
• This lubricant may be seen on the pasta dough and appears as dark spots or streaks.
• Usually, this will cease after the first use.

If you see spots in the dough:

• Hold a damp paper towel on the underside of the rotating roller to help remove excess lubricant from the roller. I
• Do not run the paper towel through the roller.
