Zoie + Chloe 3-Piece Dough Press Set - Dumpling Calzone Ravioli Empanada Turnover Pierogi

After I botched the first one, I had great success with the rest! I made Mock Apple hand-held pies and each one turned out great. Much easier than shaping them by hand and much faster. You do have to dust the press each time so your dough doesn't stick. I would definitely recommend them.

These presses work well if you know how to use them properly. Have to be careful to not overfill them otherwise, the filling might burst out when folded. I use them with fathead dough which breaks easily but worked well with these presses. They seal well and the filling does not come out while baking. They are large (as in the description), not dumpling size.

When making empanadas, it made my life soooo much easier. Easy to use, quick and efficient. easy purchase!

As a lifelong lover of empanadas I jumped at the opportunity to get a press to make the rolling and pressing process fast and easy. While this product doesn't help with the rolling process, (still need the trusty tortilla press for that) it does make cutting and forming a breeze. The hard plastic construction and sharp edge on the base is perfect for cutting the dough in circles and the hinged press leaves you with the perfect pocket. Since it comes with three different sizes, I really enjoyed being able to make the tiny empanadas for my daughter. There isn't enough of a size difference between the large and medium ones but thats a minor complaint. The only issues are that the hard plastic is a bit tough on the hands when pressing down and the handles that are molded in don't offer enough support to get the perfect seal. So you do end uppressing down on the plastic "cutting" edge. Secondly, the scallopped edge isn't as nontick as the rest of the surface. After a few empanadas I found them sticking to the edges. I ended up using parchment paper over the press and it worked like a dream. Very happy with this purchase, all it needs is a tortilla press in place of one of the smaller sizes and it would be the perfect package.
