Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Helen's Asian Kitchen Dumpling Press
Customer Review: It works! but it's not Chinese.
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently picked this up for a couple of bucks at a kitchen supply store and absolutely love it. I do a fair amount of Asian cooking and regularly had trouble closing dumplings in a uniform manner. Folding and pinching in the traditional style sometimes worked, sometimes needed work and sometimes needed some crimping and sometimes needed to just be tossed in frustration.
What the heck I thought. Maybe this will work, if it doesn't it's only a couple of bucks. I have a Chinese-American co-worker and as I picked it up I could just hear her saying "That's not Chinese."
I got my wrappers from the market, made the stuffing and got out the press. And it worked like a dream! Each dumpling coming out perfectly. I've read here that some people had problems but it sounds like problems with the wrapper, not the press itself. I was so use to having a 30% failure rate that I found I'd made too many it was great!
The next day I proudly told me co-worker about the tool. She raised an eyebrow. I showed it to her. "That's not Chinese." She firmly declared. "No" I said, "but it sure works great."
Description of Helen's Asian Kitchen Dumpling Press
The 4? Dumpling press is perfect for making potstickers, international turnovers and dumplings for appetizers, hors d?oeuvres, desserts and light snacks. Quick, easy and fun to use. This Dumpling Press is one of the easiest tools for quickly making popular Beijing-style potstickers. Other uses include: dumplings, empanadas, kreplachs, pasties, perogies, piroshki, potstickers, samosas, raviolis, turnovers and more. To use: 1. Place dough wrapper on the open press. Add your favorite filling. 2. Moisten edges of wrapper with water and press firmly to close and seal. 3. Remove your finished dumpling from the mold and boil, bake or pan fry according to recipe. Dishwasher safe.A smart little tool, this dumpling press from Helen's Asian Kitchen turns out perfectly uniform potstickers, pasties, and perogies in short time and with little mess. Designed in collaboration with Helen Chen, daughter of Chinese food pioneer Joyce Chen, the piece is crafted from polyethylene for lightweight use. Its hinged design produces 4-inch dumplings by tidily tucking filling inside and crimping the edge with a close of the handles. Removal is simple so prep and cooking are streamlined. For cleanup, the press goes into the dishwasher or scrubs up easily by hand. --Emily Bedard
