If I kinew all thoe years that there was such a thing as dumpling
press, I'd have been making dumpling more often. I found out about this only a month ago. Anyway, the one I have seen (at Asian store, Walmart, and BBB)- all 3 stores sell at $4.99 is this size (shown below) and ould fit the wrapper that's commonly available: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/prod...p?SKU=14749128 This press would leave the filling are smaller than I like. Here, I see some sites with bigger dumpling press: http://www.nextag.com/dumpling-press/search-html Here is one though I only want the biggest one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=230488780788 So then, where I can I find bigger wrapper? Can I use the eggroll (TYJ) wrapper for as wonton wrapper, i.e. use for dumpling (gyoza)? |

Wrappers of any size are not available here so we all make our own quite easily from flour and hot water. |

Anyway, the one I have seen (at Asian store, I don't think a dumping press is intended to be used with prepared skins. The prepared skins are simple to wrap and seal manually -- I don't see how a dumpling press would make this any easier. I believe dumping presses are intended for dumplings made from a dough. They substitute for the manual pinching used to seal the dumpling. You don't pinch egg rolls, wontons, or anything else made from skins. |

Can I use the eggroll > (TYJ) wrapper for as wonton wrapper, i.e. use for dumpling (gyoza)? In my opinion, it's just easier to pinch the dumpling/gyoza by hand. Once you make a few batches, it's gets much easier. Eggroll wrappers are not the same as gyoza wrappers and do not make good gyoza. You could also make your own dumpling wrappers. I've done it twice. The second batch was better than the first. I really like the texture of the homemade skins but it is very time consuming when you add to the process of making the gyoza. I usually just buy the premade gyoza skins at my local Asian market. When I do make them, I make a lot, and I freeze them. I place the filled gyoza on a sheet pan and freeze them. Once they are frozen I portion them for individual servings. My son likest them for a snack or quick dinner depending on how many he takes out of the freezer. -Tracy |

I see. If they're not helpful, then no point of getting one until I feel like naking the dough. I did find a couple of videos for it. |

The way you seal an egg roll, spring roll, or wonton is simply to dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the prepared skin you want to seal. You only need to wet one side. Then, you fold it over and press them together. That seals them well within a few seconds, like an envelope. It's basically the same technique as sealing ravioli. Dough-based wrappers are more similar to empanadas, and they are pinched closed, which the press is intended to do. I think you'd get a better result by pinching with your fingers than using a press, or using a fork. Some of the ones pictured here look like they may have been made in a press, though they may have been sealed by pressing the edges with the tines of a fork. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empanada |

I bought one to make potstickers with prepared gyoza wrappers (is that redundant?), and was prepared to find it was a useless waste of time. What I found was it did a great job, and far less messy than pinching my own potstickers. nancy |

I remember when you got it. My experience is the same. I just wish I had more time to use that and a few other toys in the cabinets. Lou |

OK then, I think it's be useful for me then cus I also found messy when I used my fingers. I think it's be slightly faster too. Even if I save 5-7 mins that's a lot for me. > > Lou- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - |
