O dear business must be slack, still. Stress is creeping in, again.
These were sold through a home sell magazine only, years ago. They are probably being binned as I type.

How do you use dumpling press gadgets?I make mash potato dumplings, pumpkin ones too & just drop the batter into the hot soup/stew to cook.Do the gadgets make those posh filled-style dumplings or Chinese ones?Just curious.

I want to know as well. I am a kitchen appliance/gadget junkie and need to know about something I haven't got lol

Why don't you click the link in post #1 then?

Go on uli, tell em...you HAVE one remember. I am sure you MUST know how they work?

uli, Mar 26, 7:03pm
Don't be silly cookie - I have a set of 4 and of course everybody knows how they work - you put a round of dough in, plus the filling and close them. Gee - what's difficult about it? if you look at the link given in post#1 it is all there.

Yes I was curious too.Clicked the link but was interested to hear of someone's experience.

Watched Jamie Oliver making dumplings in Navajo country on TB today.They were hand rolled sausage shaped.

janny3 - you can easily make filled dumplings without any gadgets, I have mine because someone gave them to me, but I only used them once.

Just roll and cut your dough into any shape you want, then moisten the edges with water, add the filling to one half, fold over and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork if you feel like it. Then depending on what sort you have made, either boil, bake or fry them.

Nephews said the sausage shaped dumplings looked like little-dix as the Navajo would not eat round dumplings.

Instead I'd pinch the round ones in the middle, bow-tie or dog-bone shaped.

When my nephew was a 5 y/o he used to ask me for some little-dix - clicked they were cocktail palonies.

That looks very similar to gnocchi. They are usually made with potato but can be made with pumpkin or kumara.
