Russian pelmeni maker and ravioli maker plastic machine, Dumpling form

I love ravioli...I hate making ravioli! This gadget totally changed my outlook to making ravioli. It's so easy to use and works great every time. Makes 37 small-ish raviolis per batch. I spray it with olive oil to prevent the raviolis from sticking. I make the pasta dough using a pasta machine and then lay strips across the maker. Add 1/2 tsp of filling then cover with the top sheet. Roll out with rolling pin...RAVIOLI! Then I use the leftover trimmings to make egg noodles!

Good, simple, works decently. Wish it came with instructions as it took a few batches for me to figure out the best way to use it.

This pelmeni maker did not disappoint. I made two baking trays of the pelmeni dumplings and each one of them came out perfect. There was no problems in pushing the dumplings out of the holes, so long as the mold is floured on both sides and not overstuffed with the meat/ filling. This pelmeni maker definitely saved me time from making each one of the dumplings individually and made dumpling making much easier and fun to use.

Does not work.

I loved it. I’ve tried using pasta makers in the past and was frustrated. This is very similar to rolling out dough for a pie. I’m trying different fillings. I tried cheese and spinach first. Can’t wait to try some meat fillings next. PS. I rolled the first layer out dusted the flour off. The used my finger to help form the depression to add the filling to. The used my finger to go around the upper edge of each depression with water or egg wash to help seal after filling. Filled each depression with desired filling (about 1/2 tsp). Place upper layer of rolled out dough on top. I found it to be helpful to gently press down with your hand or rolling pin. Then roll the rolling pin over the top until you can see the outline of each mold. Carefully remove the outer edge. Have a container ready to flip the mold over and gently poke the finished product out. I used a cheese Spinach ravioli recipe. Some of the cheese mixture was in the outer dough. I kneaded and re-used my dough. If this troubles you make 2-3 recipes of dough.

I bought this as an addition to the small white pelmeni maker that I already own. This one was a bit bigger so I wanted to give it a try. I was very disappointed when all my pelmeni would tear open. It was exhausting to try and correct it all. I made several attempts and floured everything very well.

Just what I needed to make the family fresh ravioli. Being stuck home and denied our favorite restaurants this sturdy little ravioli shaper turned making dinner into a fun family project. We have just started using it but it works as advertised and looks sturdy enough to last for years. Enjoy sheltering in place reating new fillings from what's in the freezer.

The product is satisfactory, easy to use. I didn’t like plastic color and quality it was made of.
