Marcato Design Atlas Flour Duster Dispenser Shaker, Made In Italy, Red, 5 x 2.5-Inches

I use this when making pasta with the Marcato pasta machine. It's a great tool and, though expensive, is absolutely worth it. It will not wear out and it is much nicer to use than a strainer. I keep mine filled with flour in the refrigerator, so it's always handy. It holds plenty of flour, is easy to use, and easy to keep clean. It's not just for making pasta. I use it for almost everything that requires dusting with flour: bread dough, pizza dough, and the like.

I purchased this Marcato Dispenser to accompany my red Marcato Atlas 150 pasta machine. The quality of this dispenser is outstanding. It's remarkably heavy and well built. Its a pleasure to use a Dispenser that has a top that securely and easily screws on and off, and doesn't become cross-threaded and stuck like the cheap dispensers. It dispenses flour easily when making pasta, and is a lot less messy than using a flour sifter. I also use this Dispenser to garnish breakfast entrees with Confectioner's Sugar, so my Brioche Strawberry French Toast looks artfully prepared and appetizing. I want to buy another one to use with cocoa powder. I absolutely love it, and worth every penny!

The shaker works great when dusting a workspace with flour so I do not end up with an uneven distribution. It is aluminum construction for the body and stainless steel for the screen. It seems silly that California put a Prop65 warning on it for nickel when it is between 0-10% of the composition of stainless steel with iron(50-72%), chromium(16-30%), and less than 5% carbon, molybdenum, manganese, and nitrogen. More importantly, if you have a nickel allergy, you would be better to choose the “economy” 18/0 stainless which has zero nickel but is duller and has a higher chance of rusting.

For anyone hwo makes pasta from scratch.. this is a great item. I used to throw flour on a board like my mother.. but this allows you to spread the flour out more easily. I am considering buying this for all my family members.. It's sturdy and fabulous.

Very good quality., no doubt about that! Nicely designed as well. Cost seems expensive for the item.

I was happy to see how well made this product is. The dispenser is heavy duty, and opens up on both ends to allow thorough cleaning. I dug out my old pasta maker by the same manufacturer, and found a few items that they make to help make better pasta. So excited to try again after 30 years, lol!

I think the question you have to ask yourself when you shell out this kind of money for this kind of utensil is whether this thing will last a lifetime and more. I don't see how it couldn't. It's a little perfectly shaped tank! Now, average the daily cost of a tool that could last generations versus the price and you'll see it's definitely worth it. Fits in the hand great, easy to clean, sturdy as possible.

Some say its overpriced..... Me..., I'm on the fence about that. I firmly believe that we get what we pay for. This just feels like total quality when you hold it and any good cook knows that you are an extension of your tools that you use. If you go into the kitchen absolutely loving your tools, chance are you will step up yourselves in my opinion. Is gladly pay this again for another one, the quality is just that good !
