Will this work with refrigerated dough, or is it not strong enough?

It's not a matter of the cookie press not being strong enough, the dough would not be the right consistency. It would not be able to squeeze through the templates that form the cookies.

It might. The homemade stuff is a lot more firm than the refrigerated ones, but it might not hold the shape well.

Per my review, this press has design flaw and stopped working on any dough after 1st batch of cookies

I have refrigerated my dough but before using have let it set at room temp for about 10 min. in needs to be somewhat soft so that when you put in cookie press it will squish down and together better. it would take it cold I think as it seems strong.

Yes. I actually used refrigerated for one batch and it was fine. My problem, being new at this, was trying to figure out the best way to load the tube fully.

This press will not work with stiff dough. The pressing mechanism is plastic and aluminum. When I tried to use this with a stiff dough it was clear that pushing hard enough to press out the dough would just break it.

Common sense will help you and practice... Plant a knife in the dough to see if it's cook! It also depends on the dough...

Found the mixer to work great w/cookie dough but it may struggle some w/heavy bread dough. Love the product. JP Jr.

from what I have learned it is probably not strong enough to make bread. So we never used the dough hooks. The beaters work just fine. Do not try a double though as you will be cleaning it off of the walls as the mixer able to mix it but the bowl is not large enough to hold more than one cake mixture.

It will work with bread dough. It is much easier to flatten the dough with plastic on both side . I used this to make the Pot Sticker wrapper(flour + Water)=====&gt; (Thin and round wrapper)

I have used it only as a pastry mat to roll out cookie dough. I personally did not like it and won't use it again. The dough stuck like glue. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I have not used this for dough. I don't believe it would do a good job of bread dough or cookie dough. It is probably too small for dough also.

I lightly sprinkled flour inside the bag and had no problems with it sticking. Never thought to use water on the counter to keep the bag in place (!!!) but I will admit, I was very careful rolling the dough. I do always use chilled dough. Pressed down hard to prevent rolling....and it seemed to work ! Good luck.

The dough needs to be soft to work with this pasta maker. Thick dough will not press through it. If the dough is the right consistency, this product works well.

I don't think that the kind of dough matters. All this does is press them, it doesn't bake them. I've used it for flour and corn (no gluten) tortillas. It is a little hard to get the thickness even. If I had to redo my purchase, I would buy one that has the pressure point in the middle not the side. Hope I helped.

I think any fairly air tight container would work. One nice thing about these is the height allows me to mix and store in the same container. If it was much smaller, this wouldn't work and I'd have to dirty up two things to make dough.

I haven't tried it with sourdough dough. BUT, the non-stick surface works very well with both stiff "dryer" dough and wetter dough. Makes great baguettes!

If you have a bread machine it may not hold the whole recipe. I fix half a box at a time and use my bread machine and it doesn't fall apart.

I only use for frozen pizzas so far. I would hit with some oil if I used a fresh dough. You may want to do a test to see how far the dough will go through the holes.

Yes! I have used it for sugar cookie dough. It is very durable. The way that the rollers adjust is well done doesn't have any give so I would imagine it can be used for almost any kind of dough.

Absolutely. I thought it might slip but it doesn't. The dough doesn't slide around either but comes off easily.

It depends on the kind of dough. It works fairly well for cookie dough as long as the dough does not get too stiff.
