Pasta Kitchen launched in 2016 with a straightforward aim: stock the tools that actually make a difference when you're cooking Italian food at home. We're a family-run business, and Italian cooking tools are genuinely what we know. We've been selling Marcato pasta machines and Eppicotispai tools the entire time, and every product we add to the range gets used and tested by our team at home before it goes on the site.
The range has grown a lot since then, but the approach hasn't. We choose products we believe in, from brands that have been making them properly for decades. Almost everything we sell is made in Italy. Marcato pasta machines are manufactured in Campodarsego, near Padova. Berkel slicers and knives are made in Italy, in the province of Varese. Cerutti Inox and Eppicotispai are Italian-made brands we've carried for years.
We're an authorised UK retailer for the brands we carry. Everything is supplied with UK-compatible plugs where applicable, VAT is included in the price, and there are no import duties or customs surprises on delivery.* You may be able to find some of these products cheaper from overseas sellers, but what you won't get is UK warranty support, correct specifications for the UK market, or anyone to call if something goes wrong.

*UK orders only. Shipping restrictions and import duties may apply for orders outside the UK.
The Genus Dei 30 x 40 cm box and lid set includes the proofing box and a matching lid for covering the top of your stack. The box holds up to six 250g dough balls (as a guide, depending on dough ball size), fits most domestic fridge shelves, and the boxes stack snugly without needing a lid between them — one lid sits on top of the stack to keep the uppermost box covered. Both are made in Italy from food-grade, BPA-free polyethylene and sold together at a slightly better price than buying separately.
The lid keeps the top of your stack covered during proofing, maintaining humidity and preventing dough from drying out or picking up fridge odours. The boxes stack snugly on top of each other without lids between them, so one lid is all you need. If you're buying the box, the lid is worth having — and the set saves a small amount over buying both individually.
One Genus Dei 30 x 40 x 10 cm pizza dough box and one matching 30 x 40 x 2 cm lid.
No. The boxes stack snugly on top of each other without lids between them. You only need one lid, placed on top of the uppermost box in the stack. Boxes will stack on top of a lid.
Up to six 250g dough balls as a guide. Capacity will vary depending on dough ball size and weight.
The box is designed to fit most domestic fridge shelves. The external footprint is 30 x 40 cm, so it's worth checking your shelf dimensions if your fridge has unusually narrow shelves.
Both wipe clean easily with warm soapy water. The polyethylene surfaces don't absorb odours or staining from dough.
