Williams Sonoma Pasta Cutter

No, this tool is not dishwasher safe. Because it is crafted from natural black walnut, you should hand wash it with a damp cloth and dry it immediately to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.

To keep the black walnut in top condition, occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil. This helps nourish the wood, prevents it from drying out, and maintains the protective finish.

It is designed for standard fresh pasta doughs, such as egg-based or semolina doughs. For best results, ensure your dough is rolled to the correct thickness before using the cutter to create your ribbons.

A wooden cutter offers a more tactile, traditional experience and is generally gentler on your work surface. While it won't cut through dough with the same sharp precision as a metal blade, the carved grooves are excellent for creating consistent, rustic ribbons.

Yes, this pasta cutter is handcrafted from FSC-certified black walnut, ensuring the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests.
