Twisted goods

Spaghetti and vermicelli are sometime sold as ‘biscuits or ‘skeins’, i.e. twisted clumps, which are dried on trays.

These twisted products were formerly made by cutting a handful of vermicelli or spaghetti in 8 or 10 inch length and putting this products in a tray for drying.

In Europe, ‘nidis’ are popular. These noodles arranged in a shape somewhat like a bird’s nest, The noodles are extruded in a cluster and hang down into a hollow metal cylinder.

When the noodle is cut off near the die, the air jet whirls it into desired form, which is then dropped onto a drying tray.
