Key specifications

• Handheld cutter designed for forming round or shaped dough portions
• Suitable for rolled dough sheets of typical thickness for filled dumplings
• Compact and lightweight construction for manual use
• Easy to clean and store in standard kitchen drawers

How to use

Roll out dough to an even thickness appropriate for pierogi or pelmeni. Lightly flour the work surface to prevent sticking. Place the cutter over the dough and press straight down to stamp out rounds or shapes. Remove excess dough and transfer each cut portion to a floured surface, place filling in the centre, fold and seal the edges using your preferred folding or crimping technique. For frozen storage, arrange finished dumplings on a tray without touching and freeze before transferring to containers.

Usage recommendations

Use moderate flouring on both the cutter and work surface to reduce sticking. For best results, maintain even dough thickness and avoid overfilling each portion to ensure reliable sealing and uniform cooking.
