Will this make giant shells (the kind used in stuffed shells)? If not, do you know of a tool or a machine that will make them? Thanks!

It will not. Large shells and cavatelli are completely different types of pasta. There may be an extruded attachment for a kitchen aid stand mixer that will do that or there may be another brand of pasta extruder on the market that makes them .. Pretty sure that's an Italian American creation, the large stuffed shells. Make manicotti! :)

Hi Kimberly, the idea here is not even to make a shell but more so a "bean" with 3 cuts on it. Wouldn't be able to recommend something for conchiglioni (the ones you can stuff). Likely you would have to craft those by hand.

Not as far as I know. I have made just small gnocchi shapes and I can't see how it could make anything bigger. Good Luck!

No Cavatelli does not make a shell shape it makes a tight curl that looks like a tight gnocchi I hope this helps.

Oh yes! We made a giant gummy heart for my grandson's birthday and it came out of the mold easily and held it's shape. You can get the recipe for the gummies on line, but you will have to multiply the recipe by about 9 to fill the mold.

Yes, but I wish I has gotten the next largest size for draining potatoes and other large items....it is made well and will last forever!!

I have not tried to glue these to shells. If you have the correct glue it should work. I use Beadalon "Bead Fix". Cut it to shape and after 24 hours it is perament.

I haven't tried to do that yet, but I'm not sure how it would work out. I think the yolk would probably explode rather than 'set'. But, I have made Egg McMuffin style sandwiches with it using English muffins and it does that really well.

yes. i melted and shaped the carcass of a foot-long 550 gutted --worked in all slots etc., easy in larger, a bit tougher in smaller. not going to ask why do this . . . .

Peggylee, I purchased this item for my mom as an x-mas gift and she is a BIG fan! She said that it can easily grind nuts into a more fine texture. Hope you enjoy as much as she does!

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.

They are no where near like the ones in the photos. At least mine weren't. They reminded me of cast offs or leftovers. The largest one was a little over the size of a nickle. Some were half that size and a few were about the size of a pea. None of them were square or rectangle. They were all round or oval. You can put photos in them, but it's going to be hard, as there are no sizes quoted for any of them. I still haven't figured out how to measure them. If anyone knows how to, please post the instructions. Thanks.

It could certainly do it and the result would be just fine with the correct nozzle if making a small batch. If you plan on making 5lb or more, I would recommend a sausage stuffer or a grinder with a stuffing attachment. That would take a lot less time and make the job a lot more enjoyable.

I use large eggs; sometimes a bit squishes out the sides, but it doesn't affect the finished product. You could probably use medium, but def not extra large.

There is a larger one....10" would be the max on this maker. You mention "shell"-----I would not recommend a premade corn tortilla "shell" ----just a tortilla straight out of the package; on the maker, add filling, top with second either corn or flour tortilla, close/cook, and serve!!

I am not sure about that, I do know you can make them with Corel Draw products including Photo Paint and Graphics Suite. Some pretty good info can be found on the Corel website itself and shooting them a quick email should get you a definite answer quickly. Good luck! Cheers! Marty G

Hi, thank you for your query. This tester has not yet a proper casing. We are contacting a local mold factory to see if it is possible to get a casing ready for it. With kind regards, Kevin

I filled mine with rice and it works very well. Friends of mine have used sand and crushed walnut shells. sand does get a little heavy, but gives a good base. Rice has to be settled by tapping it. same with the nut shells. All work well.

I'm not sure, but what you are basically trying to do is make presto logs and I don't think this thing is sturdy enough for that. You would need a lot of pressure to use sawdust. If you have sawdust available, I would get an automotive press (these are basically a frame with a hydrolic jack mounted on it), they can be found easily; and get a short piece of pipe or square tubing, fashion a mold with one of these. Soak the sawdust until it's really soft, then press it into whatever shape you want and let it dry. I'm going to try this on paper.
