You don't have to be making Asian food to get the most out of this Dumpling Plus press. Made from sturdy plastics, it's designed for appetizers, hors d'ouevres and dumplings of many nationalities. Use it for potstickers, ravioli, empanadas, piroshki, kreplachs and pasties. Two handles are positioned on either side and the hinged center allows you to place dough or wrapper in middle, fill and then fold press in half. It securely seals your creation, leaving crimped edges. Package comes with Joyce Chen's recipe for Famous Peking Raviolis.
