The dumplings kept sticking in the mould however much flour I used. Gave up after a few tries.

Dumpling Maker Press
$11.99
Rolling and pleating dumplings by hand takes practice and a free afternoon. This press does both halves of the job: the base squashes a ball of dough into a wrapper, and the lid folds it shut with a crimped edge.

- 11.2 in (28.5 cm) with the handle
How to use it
From dough ball to sealed dumpling
- 01
Press the wrapper
Put a ball of dough on the base plate, close the lid and press hard on the handle.
- 02
Fill it
Open the mold flat, lay the wrapper in it and put a spoonful of filling in the middle.
- 03
Fold and crimp
Fold the mold in half and squeeze. Open it and lift out a sealed, crimped dumpling.
Close up
Two tools hinged together
Handle
Long enough to lean on. Press down hard on it to flatten the dough on the plate below.
Wrapper plate
A round plate in the base. A walnut sized ball of dough comes out as a thin, even circle.
Crimping mold
The top half opens out flat. Lay the wrapper in, add filling, fold, and the toothed rim pinches a frilled seal.
Hinge
Joins the two halves, so the lid folds shut over the plate when the tool is stored.
Compared
Press or pleat by hand?
Hand pleating makes the prettiest dumplings once you have the knack. The press gets a beginner, or a child, to a sealed dumpling first time.

Shop bought wrappers work too: skip the plate and lay them straight in the mold.
Questions
Yes. Skip the pressing step and lay a round wrapper straight into the open mold, then fill and fold.
Dust the base plate and the mold with flour before each one, and keep the dough fairly firm.
A firm dough of plain flour and water, rested for half an hour. Soft, sticky dough clings to the plate; dust both halves with flour before every wrapper.
About a heaped teaspoon. Overfill it and the filling squeezes into the crimped edge, which stops it sealing and lets it split in the pan.
Small ones, yes. Anything that fits a round wrapper folded in half works, such as mini empanadas, half moon ravioli and sweet hand pies.

Sample, not realTried it with shop wrappers
Skipped the dough one night and laid a store bought wrapper in the open mould. Worked well and was even quicker.

Sample, not realBeginner with pastry hands
My hands run hot and heavy when I handle dough, and my wrappers were always too thick and a bit tough. The press gives me a thin even wrapper without any rolling pin. The dumplings are lighter and they cook through nicely, and I finally feel like I am making something close to what I get in a restaurant. A dusting of flour is all you need.

Gyoza night used to take me an hour. Now it takes about twenty minutes and the pleats are better than mine ever were.

Sample, not realFlour tip
Dust the plate and mould with flour every time and nothing sticks. I keep the dough a bit firm like the instructions say and it releases cleanly. Great for prawn dumplings.

Does what it says. I wish there were more colour choices than three but it works well.

Sample, not realSolid, wish for a lid hook
Solid and useful. I wish there was a way to clip it shut for storage, otherwise it flops open in the drawer.
