Pierogi Maker by Cucina Pro - Includes Tray and Press - Makes 6 Dumplings, Potstickers, or Peirogis at a time

I truly love this, it makes work so quik and easy. I use my pasta maker to roll the dough and then fill and press. Makes 80 pirogies in an hour. Also works great for mini pies or meat pies. Quality is good it will last me a lifetime, washes up good. Just don't use a good rolling pin to press the dough, It will leave dent marks on your pin.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this worked. I grew up eating pierogies but have never made any myself. I decided to try it given all the additional time at home and based on other reviews, was expecting to have a much lower success rate. It actually worked surprisingly well! Part of my concern was with it making only 6 at a time but I think this might be an advantage over the larger options if you're not looking to make batches of 10 dozen because it's easier to take the scraps from one run and make another run of them. When I started to get to the end of the dough, I started rolling into a circle and only using one end of the maker to make 2 at a time and that worked well. Ultimately I made 2 dozen and had hardly any leftover dough. There were a couple towards the end that required me to do a bit of pinching to seal the weaker seams but for the most part, they just worked right out of the device. I decided to freeze them for later and haven't tried cooking them yet but the entire process to actually make them was quick and easy and I couldn't be happier with this pierogi maker.

Item as described and good quality

My mother has an old, heavyweight, custom-made pierogi maker from her parents and this is the closest thing I've found to it available on the mass market.It does pretty well. We made 84 dozen pierogi in 2019 with 3 people, so we need something that is efficient and reliable.If you've been using other molds or hand-making pierogi, this is definitely a step up.Since I couldn't travel home this year, I taught two close friends how to make them and they did a great job using this! Picture is of some of their first tries.It is easy to clean and fairly sturdy. Not cast iron weight but it does the job well even with a marble rolling pin!Suggestions:The "legs" actually make pierogi making more difficult as thin dough is ideal and the height created by the legs causes the dough to sag, stretch and tear where the filling goes. To resolve, I added some tin foil wrapped in floured plastic wrap beneath to leave less of a gap between the mold and the table or rolling surface. I may remove the legs in the future, which is probably the ideal solution.I dont use the plastic piece at all, but I suppose it is nice to include.Overall, I would recommend this style over others available on the market. If there was a "legless" version I would pick it up in a heartbeat.

I like the fact that you can make 6 perogies at a time. The only Robles I can see with it is when you run the rolling pin over the top sheet of dough it doesn’t seem to cut them all cleanly. It may just be something I not doing right. It is an amazing device and each perogie turns it perfect. So. Suppose if I have to manually remove some of the excess dough after rolling it it still works extremely well
