Gemelli

  • Shape: Gemelli
  • Description: While gemelli look as if two tubes of pasta have been twisted around one another, they are, in fact, single strands of pasta twisted into spirals. The unique shape is known to hold sauces very well. Use with meat-, cream- and tomato-based sauces, with seafood and vegetable dishes, and more.

Details

APPLICATIONS

A pasta's ingredient blend is a major factor in determining its application suitability. To ensure pastas meet your needs, reference the ingredients used in its manufacture, in many cases, blends can be customized to your specifications.

INGREDIENTS

Different shape and ingredient blends define a pasta's characteristics, which may include cook time, processing durability and more. Applications describe the most suitable and common uses for various pastas.

Thickness

For gemelli, the positions of measurement for thicknesses are the vane or fin edges that form the flights. Measurements are taken using either precision digital calipers or point micrometers.

Width

The outside diameters of gemelli are measured along their lengths, as placed parallel within the jaws of precision digital calipers.

Length

The cut lengths of gemelli are determined as the curvilinear distances running parallel their vanes or fins. Measurements are taken using strings and rulers.

Moisture

To assure specified moisture, two batch samples are ground, weighed, heated in an air oven, placed in a desiccator and then re-weighed. Results are validated using two moisture validation machines.
