RSSTurn a paper shredder into a pasta maker
Paper shredders were allegedly inspired by pasta machines, so why not take them back to their roots? Not sure how well this works. According to the wikiHow, this "hack" was made popular by the Food Network's resident deep geek Alton Brown. If you're a foodie/cook *and* a geek, you might enjoy Brown's Food Network show, Good Eats, as much as I do.

The only problem is, I don't think they use food-grade lubricating oil. Unless only cross-cut shredders need oil...

I love his show, and Iron Chef (Japanese version). I don't think I'll ever eat what they cook on the show, but at least it's inventive.

I like to stick with food-grade equipment when making, well, food.
Still love Alton, though.

Oh my god I hate Alton Brown's show. Hate it so much.

Awesome! Although I might suggest you clean out the shredder prior to using it.
Thanks and keep posting!

I agree. Aside from the obvious mess, I would be afraid of toxic chemicals coming from the tape adhesive and inks used on the paper being in the same place you put food.

Really a thoughtful idea. Has good potential to turn from office equipment to a food processor. If its successful its really going to be a big hit.
