Electric Empanada Maker Machine w Dough Cutter & Nonstick Plates- Easier than Press & Molds- Homemade Latin Turnovers, Hand Pies, Dumplings, Stuffed Pastries w BONUS Churro Plates, Make Dessert & Apps

I bought this to create a fun dessert for our family 'Mexican Night' buffet. The mailman dropped it off and we literally took it out of the box and plugged it in. It heated quickly as we made the dough using the included cookbook. It was so easy to use that my 12 year old made a dozen churros herself. We sprinkled them with powdered sugar and put into a warmer for later. They were very good! This unit is compact and stores easily. I have to admit I have never had a real churro, not even one from Epcot, so I can't really say if these are the best churros ever. However, if you're looking for some quick churros and not messing around with a vat of hot oil, these are pretty good. Empanadas next time!

I don't like the fact that after cooking for 8 minutes the center is still like raw dough, and the cinnamon sugar mixture will not stick to them. because they are so dry, it's easy to use, but don't like the raw center. maybe another recipe will do better

The non stick coating just stick on your empanadas in the second time you used it. This represents a risk to eat that and get cancer if you are not careful and eat the food like that. This is a bad product quality control because now I'm checking this is not the only case. Don't buy this product.

It's great. I bought this on impulse because i love churros and it's running joke between everyone I know that i'm obsessed with them. The churros you make will not compare to the fried churros but they're fun little things to make so you get what you buy right? The recipes it comes with aren't so great because I feel the empanada dough calls for an incorrect water to flour ratio, but you can use any recipe so that doesn't degrade the cooker quality. It starts heating up as soon as it's plugged in.(No power buttons or settings) After 8 minutes of being plugged in the little green light will come on denoting your food is done(par the recipe's requirements but of course you can do as you please.) I used this for an hour straight the first time to make empanadas then a few days later to make churros. I will say it's a bit of trial and error to get the proper amount of dough in because too much spill out and makes cleanup a hassle

Worked ok but the clip was broke off and sharp! Needed it so I didn’t return. I used a pot holder to hold the top down as it cooked. Churros didn’t get very crisp and took quite awhile to cook.

At first I was wondering why I just had to buy this empanada maker. I have one of the old presses and cast iron skillet for doing it the old fashioned way; however, this little machine is easy to use and even easier to clean. I honestly think I've made more empanadas and churros since receiving it than I made in 40 years. I have even been experimenting with different types of fillings used in Chinese spring rolls and quite pleased with the results.

Easy to use. So many options to try with this. 👍

Just the right size, can’t wait to use it. Looks well made especially for the price.
