Has anyone ever tried this Ravioli maker for making Perogy? If so, how well does it work with the Perogy filling?

I while I did not try it for perogies, I did try a cheese ravioli and was unimpressed with the machine and mess. The pasta roller attachment is great and easy to use, but I found it easier to roll out my own filled pasta. Good luck.

Yes my sister and I made pierogi with pasta roller we rolled the dough to one setting prior to too thin so we could roll out and make slightly larger or regular sized ones. The first time we over rolled the dough and had small one. Good luck you should enjoy this because it did lessen the time to make them. We make potato and cheese what type do you make?

I loved the roller and ravioli maker but I used my own recipe for dough and would do the same for perogy. It should work out but they will be pretty small.

You can insert the filling using any method. You can use a piping bag, a spoon, a knife. Personally I used a spoon. Worked out great.

Not if you're talking about the 'form' for making ravioli themselves. This will make the 'sheets' of pasta/dough that you lay on the ravioli form. This was really fun for my granddaughter and I to play with; check videos on line. Tip: Be sure your dough is a little drier than you might think.........to get the LONG sheets.

I found that using quartered size piece of onion works real good for me. The onion skins seem to be really tough, and trying to use even 1/2, caused the plunger to not want to go through and rotate. I really do like mine.

Alan, thanks so much for sharing this. I have some 'silicone spatulas' with wood handles that were ofcourse never 'adheared' to the head, I have to take care not to get the 'connection' contaminated with what ever it is I am using it for. If you run across a solid sil spat, pls let me know. I'll do the same.

The machine is fabulous, got perfect results the very first try ( I have been making pasta for years). It will produce two sizes of "tube"pasta, much like pene rigatti, which could easily be stuffed with a bit of patience. The other shapes are not hollow. I do suggest, however, that if you want larger "tubes" use a manual machine (Atlas is perfect) and make large tubes on a piece of pvc pipe, sealing the edges with water.

You cannot make stuffed pasta like ravioli or cannelloni with this attachment, but you can make rigatoni, which could then be stuffed. I can imagine using a pastry bag to pipe a filling into the rigatoni, then sealing the ends. My favorite Italian restaurant makes such a dish and it is fantastic. But this attachment is meant mainly for making the long or tubular pasta shapes, not stuffed pastas. Consider the ravioli attachment, but you would also need the pasta roller first to make the sheets. Good luck!

The metal used seems to be aluminum. It really isn't great at making ravioli since the cutting process leaves some of the dough stuck in the "press". I wouldn't recommend it but I have bought another single ravioli cutter that works great. since u roll your dough and place your mix on the rolled dough, you will get a more precise cut. It is also available at Amazon.

I believe you have to spoon it in as you go, but the roller will seal the ravioli. I haven't tried ravioli yet, basically going off how I think it works.

You can try making the dough a bit softer (just add a little more water) but in general the rigatoni mold makes very thick pasta. The rest of the molds are fine. I only use the rigatoni when I'm making it with a heavy meat sauce that can hold up to it.

I have and it comes out great. You may have to puff it up a little and shape it up, but otherwise it is a great little burrow.

Don't know yet. The base machine with linguini and spaghetti cutters works very well. Have not used other cutters, including the small ravioli cutter attachment other than the initial waste product cleaning process. the small noodle/crinkle edge attachment looks interesting and want to try it next. If all work as promised, the price is a good one for the entire set. If you don't use it regularly or put a few attachments in deepest recesses of cabinets, they are just expensive toys. The machine itself is top notch.

It's slim pickings for attachments for the 180 mm Atlas pasta maker. There are tons of different attachments for the more common 150 mm version. Many people prefer to manually cut their pasta to width with a chef's knife anyway. That's to say, roll the pasta dough to thickness, make into a roll and cut to desired thickness. Might actually be easier than a contraption. If you are interested in learning more about making your own pastas, there are some great online courses at craftsy dot com. The guy is an instructor at Culinary Institute of America, so pretty accomplished.

I'm using a Lee 4 cavity mold and it works fine. You do have to turn the mold around to fill.

It's pretty easy to fill, I cupped my hand to kind of make a funnel. It's well worth it. I've had no trouble with mine after several months of daily use.

I used the standard flat roller to roll out the dough after letting it rest. As for the ravioli maker, personally, it didn't work really well with the fillings I enjoy. I returned it. Good luck.

Absolutely, Kathy! Further, it does a better job as a fine mesh colander, since no small particles get thru. I have a number of I DO utensils, and am very happy with all of them. Definitely quality products! And, Amazon is the very best firm on the internet to do business with!!! Sincerely, Phyllis (Bethalto, Il)
