Kitchen tool Donegal RADEŁKO Z KOPYTKIEM (1043) — dumpling cutter with gnocchi/press wheel

Donegal RADEŁKO Z KOPYTKIEM (1043) — dumpling cutter with gnocchi/press wheel is a handheld kitchen tool designed for cutting dough and shaping gnocchi or small dumplings. The tool combines a fluted cutting wheel with a shaped pressing end (kopytko), allowing you to portion dough, cut strips or rounds, and create the characteristic ridged surface on gnocchi for better sauce adherence. Its compact design is intended for home kitchens and small-batch pasta or dumpling preparation.

Advantages

The fluted cutting wheel produces clean, even cuts through fresh dough while the kopytko end forms uniform ridges and indents on gnocchi and dumplings. The handheld format offers direct control over size and shape without the need for complex equipment. The simple two-function design reduces preparation steps by combining cutting and shaping in a single tool, and its lightweight construction makes it easy to store and handle.

Suitable for

• Portioning and cutting fresh pasta and dumpling dough
• Shaping gnocchi with ridged surfaces to hold sauces
• Making small-batch home-made pasta, ravioli edges or dumpling trims
• Quick kitchen tasks where manual control over dough shape is preferred

Key specifications

• Type: handheld dough cutter and gnocchi shaper
• Cutting wheel: fluted edge for decorative and functional cuts
• Shaping end: kopytko-style press for forming ridges and indents
• Material: lightweight construction suitable for manual use (material details not specified)
• Intended use: fresh dough for gnocchi, dumplings, and small pasta portions

How to use

Roll or flatten dough to the desired thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use the fluted wheel to cut strips or shapes by rolling the wheel across the dough with steady pressure. To form gnocchi or create ridged dumplings, press the kopytko end into each portion and roll slightly to produce grooves. Adjust pressure to vary the depth of the ridges and the size of portions according to recipe requirements. Clean the tool after use, removing dough residues before drying and storing.

Usage recommendations

For best results, work with well-floured surfaces and slightly rested dough to prevent sticking; apply even pressure when cutting and shaping to achieve uniform pieces. Hand wash and dry the tool thoroughly after use to maintain performance and hygiene.
