My sister is looking for a "cookie shooter" specifically to use to stuff squid, pasta shells and to make deviled eggs. Will this item be able to do that?

No, I don't believe this device will work for stuffing pasta or deviled eggs. You need piping tips for those, and a continuous feed...this has neither. It is really designed to deliver one cookie (through a die cut disc) at a time. Try a wilton piping back instead.

This particular one did not have the tips to make those, had just the discs for the cookie press

No this will not work for your sister Judith. A pastry bag with decorator tips are best to fill those.

Yes, I believe you can. I've made cookies using one of the tips that look like churros but they were baked not fried. Should work out fine. Love, love, love this press. My old one self-destructed from lots of use. Hope this helps

In the past, I have used it for macaroni and cheese, and pasta. I am pretty sure you can use for other stuff like chicken and stew.

No, I don't think it could be used to make plain cookies as it needs a patterned disc at the end.

Yes. I don't have experience with it so I don't know if it would be pretty enough for your purposes, but I just tried it out and it seemed to give a light dusting, a couple inches diameter, when I tapped it. From now on I'll use it for that one cookie recipe I have that calls for it.

Yes, absolutely. Go to the Sistema website. They have a bunch of recipes to try and these will give you plenty of ideas for things you can cook in this great little cooker.

You mean like "chunky" cookie dough, for like oatmeal cookies? Or do you mean pizza dough? B/c I haven't tried it with the latter but it fared pretty well w/ cookie dough -- the only thing you need to keep in mind is that it IS only 4 cups, so it would probably only hold about 2 1/2 cups flour & 1 stick of butter in order to have space to chunk it up :)

I haven't tried anything other than edible oblate discs. It's an inexpensive machine, so perhaps buy it and try it out. I'm interested in your final product, as well. What are you making?

It would work, makes a perfect size "noodle". But it is a bit of a knuckle buster, be careful.

Most definitely since not all pasta recipes even include eggs. My daughter loves this pasta maker and makes all kinds of recipes flawlessly! You'll love it and it was so affordable!

I am not 100% sure, however, the pizzelle maker closes tightly and pushes excess batter out so I doubt it would make a thicker cookie.

I have never made Mexican Churros, but from the on-line recipie, I would think that this cookie press would work just fine. I know it works fine with heavy dough when making cheese straws. v/r Richard

I doubt it would work very well with cookie or biscuit dough. The shape of the utensil is optimized for digging frozen deserts out of a container. It is shaped like a small garden spade and it does the job it was designed to do very well. You would be much better off with one of the stainless steel hemispherical food scoops with the bale that sweeps across when you squeeze the handle if you want to work with cookie or biscuit dough.

I wouldnt recommend it. It would take a very long time. Invest the money and get an actual sausage stuffer to save time and frustration. However, the gun works amazingly for making jerky!

This should work fine, as long as you don't pause between the clicks and let the dough break. It helps if you tilt the press so the dough is coming out parallel to the cookie sheet.

The disks provided makes Linguine, Fettucine, Lasagnette, Spaghetti, Spaghettini, Vermicelli, Rigatoni, Ziti. It also makes Biscotti cookies. I've really enjoyed mine! The family was really happy with the results. I hope you enjoy yours, if you get it anyway, as much as I've enjoyed mine!

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.
