"Excellent bit of kit." star star star star star I read the reviews on here before purchasing the ravioli press and decided it was worth giving it a go. I'm so glad I did. It was easy to use and made lovely ravioli, well shaped and a great size. I kept my pasta well floured, I oiled the press before use and the ravioli dropped out without difficulty.
"Yummy starter" star star star star star I was bought this as a birthday present as I had been wanting to try and make Raviolli for a long time and used to make it by hand, this press made life sooooo much easier. There is no fiddling about with water or egg wash to seal the parcels just roll the pasta over the top and really press down the rolling pin the make the pasta cut on the edges. I always have a bowl of flour sitting ready to shake the raviollo out into so they don't stick. I can make 32 for a starter for 4 people in no time.
"Eccellente ravioli" star star star star star First of all, thank you to all previous reviewers: I followed their advice and OILED the metal tray and used plenty of FLOUR. Great little ravioli produced first time. A couple of points: I used a pasta machine for rolling the dough, and its width was similar to that of the metal tray, so a little careful stretching was required to ensure enough dough at the outside edges. Also, I had to wield the rolling pin with some ferocity to cut through the ravioli, but they did break free in the end! Dough remnants can be recycled to make more ravioli. Overall, takes time, but well worth the effort.
"It works like a dream" star star star star star I was unsure how well this ravioli plate would work in practice, but it was really good. A couple of suggestions that may help others. Before starting spray the plate with olive oil to help release the finished ravioli. When rolling the top pasta sheet in place tilt the rolling pin at an angle and roll just the outside edges, this makes the separation much easier.
"absolutely brilliant" star star star star star I've had my ravioli press for about a year now, and use it most weeks. I've never had a single one split, it's incredibly easy to use and I absolutely love it.
