Zoie + Chloe Set of 3 Dough Press - Plastic Pastry Shaper & Empanada Maker Press With Crimped Crust Edges - Kitchen Tools For Making Dumplings, Hand Pie, Ravioli, Pierogi, Turnover - 4”, 5”, 6”

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.

Excelente producto

Easy enough to use, comes apart for cleaning, nice size. My only complaint is that it appears to be made from inferior materials, cheap thin plastic specifically. It looks like i will have to be careful with it so that I don't break it. Good value for the price though

Son excelentes,tienen muy buena calidad y son súper prácticos para hacer mis empanadas.

These are not very durable. I had one break on me when using light pressure. They function well if you’re really careful with them. Nice colors and sizes, for different sweet and savory dumplings or empanadas.

The media could not be loaded. I used the smallest size (pink) for ravioli and I've used the medium size (green) for pierogis. The large size (orange) would be perfect for empanadas.It is made of plastic, so as long as you are gentle, these should be a helpful tool in your kitchen.Suggestions for use:1. When you are cutting out the circle shape with the back of the maker, it sometimes doesn't cut through in the area where the hinges are. So I started to press into the dough and turn clockwise and counterclockwise to make sure the cut is clean.2. It doesn't always fold perfectly in half, so keep an eye on the edges and adjust before sealing.3. One cookie scoop is the perfect amount of filling for the small size (pink).4. When making ravioli, use small amounts of dough (say 1/2 cup) and cut all the circles out first. Then fill and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and dusted with flour. Cover with a clean kitchen towel as you go to keep the pasta from drying out.

Sent this back it was a used item

I bought this set for the smaller size to make handpies/fried pies. I used the small pink size for my fried pies the back cut the dough well and the size laid easily in the press to fill and seal the pies. I did seal them without water on the edge and with and did not see a different as long as there was no tear in the dough. I plan on using the larger ones for empanadas but I expect them to work. Only suggestion, don't overfill. The small ones used about 2 tbsp of filling. Great product and was easy and fun to use, easy clean up.
