Kuchenprofi Ravioli/Pierogi/Dumpling Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't rate this dumpling press highly enough. It is superb quality 18/10 stainless steel. The one star rating left by another reviewer is unwarranted and unnecessarily downgrades a high quality product because the size was unsuitable for the buyer's purpose. The item should simply have been returned before it was used. In fairness to that reviewer, however, the problem stems from the fact that the size wasn't published previously, so that reviewer had no way of knowing if the size was appropriate. The outside diameter is 4-3/4", the interior diameter (space for the filling) is 3-3/4", meaning the pressed seam will be 1/2" thick. When the dough is pressed together, the folded dumpling is not quite 2-1/2" wide and 4-3/4" long. Furthermore, the item is advertised on the box as "Ravioli-Former". It just fails to mention that they're going to be huge raviolis.
So while this press would be great for empanadas, spinach pies, desert-filled pies, small calzones, or even half-moon shaped samosas. I'm not sure that I could recommend it for raviolis, pierogies, gyoza, or pot-stickers, because the dumpling will be rather large once it has been boiled/steamed (unless you're okay with that). If you're looking for a larger dumpling, however, you can't go wrong with this and I can't recommend it highly enough. As a bonus, when the press is fully open, the base serves as a dough cutter to make custom-sized pieces of dough for this press. Can't beat it.

Norpro Spaetzle Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A decade or so ago I toured through Europe and while in Germany I was introduced to Spaetzle. It was love at first bite. I live in a small town in California and spaetzle is not easy to come by. I bought an instant package of spaetzle, and followed the directions (pour contents of box into boiling water...) and it was terrible. Finally I decided to shop around for a Spaetzle maker and the only one I could find cost a fortune and was incredibly big and awkward, I imagined scraping my knuckles off and gave up my dreams of having fresh spaetzle. Imagine my surprise and delight when I found this simple spaetzle maker here on Amazon.com and at such a friendly price. I ordered it right before the holidays and it arrived in time for Christmas dinner. We eat our Christmas feast early in the afternoon and for a light dinner I love to make turkey soup from leftover Christmas turkey. For a twist I decided to add some fresh spaetzle and it was a wonderful success. The maker came with two simple recipes and after a couple attempts, I mastered the spaetzle maker. Since then we eat spaetle often with gravy's, soups, and tons of other dishes. This is a great deal for such a wonderful tool that will inhance you meals.

Norpro Spaetzle Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was worried that this wouldn't work well, that the dough wouldn't drop through and that it wouldn't really make the process easier. I was wrong! I've made spaetzle before, both by cutting it from a board over boiling water and also by pressing the dough through a collander. This is sooo much easier and faster. The clip fits over the edge of my large soup pot with some room to spare. The handle is sturdy, solid, and it stays cool. Also, it is long enough so that even over my largest pot, the handle is neither over the boiling water nor the flame. The cutting surface is sturdy stainless steel - no twisting, no bending. The hopper slides easily when loaded. My dough dropped down into the pot in uniform and cleanly cut little dumplings as I slid the hopper back and forth - no additional pressing was necessary. The dough didn't cling to or cook onto the surfaces of either the cutter or hopper. I was able to fit my 6 serving recipe into the hopper in just two quick batches- about 2 minutes per batch, from loading the hopper to lifting out the finished spaetzle. The hopper slides off easily for cleaning. (I brush the surfaces off under cold water right away, and after dinner I hand wash it in hot soapy water.) I'm so happy I bought this!
