Russian Pelmeni Dumpling Machine Ravioli Plastic Mould Shape for Russian Pelmeni

Works great and it’s cheap. We are satisfied

Works as it should

It makes smaller pelmeni but it works better than the metalone.

My family really loves pelmeni - Russian style dumplings.We tried to do everything manually, and - although a very fun activity for the whole family built around our family's cultural tradition - it was VERY time consuming. We would not be able to routinely include pelmeni in our diet by manual production of every single "pelmen'" piece.My friend recommended me to purchase a pelmeni mold.This particular piece makes a descent amount of pelmeni dumplings at a time - enough to overeat for a single person or to still stay a little hungry for two :)Pelmeni that come out of this mold DO NOT look traditional. They are also smaller in size. Luckily this does not influence the taste.As a critical step to be able to take the pelmeni out, I would recommend to USE A LOT OF FLOUR on top of the mold. Or it will all stick to the plastic.

I knew such things existed, but never used them before. I have read the reviews, and it seemed a hit or miss.However, I was lucky to find a good dough recipe online with step by step instructions for the pelmennitsa.The key is to use A LOT of flour. First heavily dust the dumpling maker through a flour sifter. Then roll out a layer of dough and attach it to the device. Then put the stuffing in the little holes, making sure not to use too much. Then cover it with another layer of dough and shake another good amount of flour on top. Press gently to squeeze out the air and put your rolling pin to use. It is oddly satisfying to pop the ready dumplings out of the holes.This was my first time using the contraption, and it was much easier than I expected. I did have 3-4 dumplings that were not sealed correctly, but that was my fault. After making two perfect batches, I got lazy and rolled my dough smaller than needed. The dumplings simply did not have enough dough to be sealed properly, and it was an easy fix by hand.All in all, I recommend it for ease of use!

For 1, the size for the dumplings is way way too small. making it just as tedious as doing one by one.that I can live with, kitchen gadgets are hit or miss.But I am giving this 1 star because the plastic is so poorly molded that plastic pieces fall off into the dough. I do not feel safe using this

I regretted that I took a plastic one, it bends because of this, and you can’t roll out the dough well in all places.

Great item, excellent quality. Durable, everything is as it should be. I recommend for purchase. Very easy to use, speeds up and simplifies the making of dumplings.
