Bellemain Ravioli Maker Press | Pelmeni Mold, Pierogi Press, Potsticker Meat Pie Dumpling Maker, Ravioli Stamp Pasta Making Kit, Pasta Making Tools, Ravioli Press Mold | Makes 12 Ravioli, 1. 5”

sturdy - works well, we use it with the KA mixer pasta maker which makes sheets perfectly sized to fit on this with a tiny extra edge to cut off. Nice portion control for the fillings etc.

Once you learn how to properly use this tool, it is indispensable for making quality ravioli easily. The product is heavy duty, handles a rolling pin well, doesn't allow the dough to stick to the metal, and the design makes for well-filled raviolis that stay sealed with the proper dough thickness. I found this very easy to use, and make 100 raviolis in a matter of 60-90 minutes. Cleanup under warm water andsoakp is simple, not sure if it is dishwasher safe however. A recommended buy.

I love my new kitchen gadget. I would have rated it overall 5 stars but it is a little difficult to get the rolling pin to where it cuts every line. It just takes more muscle than I really want to use. That said, I think the size of the ravioli is perfect. Lots better than my kitchen aide mixer ravioli attachment which really makes ravioli that aero small. I would recommend this and it will s a real time saver.

I've always made ravioli by hand, I'm 73 yrs old. I taught my granddaughter to make ravioli by hand, she's 11 yrs old. Just recently I asked myself, "why do it the hard way if there's something that will do the job faster?", especially for her since she's still so young and struggles for consistency in her ravioli making. So, I took a chance on this product. I am very happy to say it works very well and has made the job easier for us both. The ravioli are smaller than we are used to, but that's okay. I think the fact that we've always made ravioli at home made it easier to be successful with this device. I plan to order the larger size at a later date. This helps my granddaughter make a consistently sized and uniform ravioli with her great-great-great-aunt's recipe and that's the important thing. I do plan to heed the warnings not to put it in the dishwasher so that I can pass it along in good condition someday. I just have to wonder why I waited so long!!

Just as described

works well

I've made two batches of ravioli with this ravioli press and it has been pretty frustrating. Like other reviewers mentioned, my first batch of filled ravioli stuck horribly to the press. Most of the ravioli were impossible to dislodge without damaging the ravioli and irreparably tearing the dough, so that was almost twelve ravioli wasted. Once I started thoroughly oiling every crack and edge of the press (Pam olive oil spray ftw! Flour alone was not enough for me), the ravioli came out much easier. (Also on the topic of sticking, be sure to lightly flour the top of the first layer of pasta dough before using the plastic insert, or else the dough will stick to the insert and pull away from the metal press, causing tearing.)Another issue has been the difficulty of rolling out my pasta dough consistently to the correct width of the ravioli press. (The dough has to totally cover the raised edges to get a good seal on the ravioli or the filling will escape while cooking.) Perhaps it was the pasta recipe I was using, but if I tried to gently pull the dough to fit the ravioli press, I usually tore the dough. (Alternately, pulling on the dough would create so much tension that using the plastic insert would puncture the dough.) Instead of trying to wrestle one pasta sheet over the whole press, I rolled out two thin strips for each row and pulled just a little so that they overlapped in the center. Double the pasta rolling-- no fun.Finally, cleaning-- if you flour/oil your ravioli press well, this shouldn't be too bad. I handwashed the press and quickly used a toothbrush to clean oil residue out of the nooks and crannies. However, when I didn't oil it well in advance, I ended up with so many sticky pieces of dough in the corners that I had to dig them out individually with the tip of a paring knife.That being said, the question is, "Does this ravioli maker work?" Yes, the ravioli press makes ravioli. When you don't rip or tear or overfill them (other reviewers have been using a tablespoon of filling per ravioli, but I can only use about a teaspoon without the ravioli becoming overstuffed and delicate to handle), the ravioli look very neat and uniform.So, if you have a lot of patience for trial and error, or if you are an experienced ravioli maker, this ravioli press will probably work for you. I am neither of those things, so I'm considering donating mine to Goodwill. In the meantime, I am buying a handheld pasta cutter, which will hopefully be more flexible and forgiving than this ravioli press.
