Review of Fox Run Fox Run Aluminum Ravioli Maker

Customer Ratings:

At first, I tried to put my pasta sheets across the metal tray and create pockets by pressing the back of the plastic tray down upon it. This made some of the 'pockets' rip. Now what I do is, flip the plastic tray bump side up,place my pasta sheet on the bottom of the plastic tray first, fitting the pasta around those bumps with my fingers, and then place that assembly on top of the metal tray. All that is left now is to fill the pockets, moisten the edges, cover them with another sheet of pasta, and take a rolling pin across that final assembly. You might have to pull them apart a little and let them set for 30 minutes before cooking. PS The raviolis do seperate better if you also allow your pasta sheets to dry for 20-30 minutes first.

This is a wonderful product. I was surprised how easy it is to make perfect ravioli the first time out. The plastic form makes easy indents in the dough for the filling without tearing the sheet of dough. If you have problem with tearing, it is usually caused by pushing to hard with the form, or the dough recipe may need to be adjusted. Whether you want to brush water/egg around the edges prior to placing the top sheet of dough is up to you. It seals perfect every time without either. Some say the rolling pin doesn't always cut through the dough on the form. I found when going along the edges, if I tilted the rolling pin slightly along the edge, it makes a clean cut. I was amazed how easy and quickly I could make 5 dozen cheese ravioli. Great price as well.

I agree with the reviews that were not successful using the rolling pin. Here's a procedure I developed when teaching my kids and grandkids. When you get to the point of using the rolling pin, simply flip the entire unit over and use a Krimpcut Sealer to separate the ravioli and cut off the excess pasta.

Some tips for success: Liberally dust the aluminum tray with flour before laying down the first sheet of pasta. Also make sure the dough is not sticky you can also use a little flour on the side of the dough that will be in contact with the form. After the pasta is in place use the plastic form to indent and then brush the dough with beaten egg white, fill the pockets and cover with the top piece of pasta. Now instead of using the rolling pin, SWIFTLY (important to make sure everything stays together :) ) flip the whole thing over on a flour dusted surface and use the Krimpcut (which has been rolled in flour to eliminate it's sticking to the dough) to separate the ravioli and cut off excess pasta. Flouring of the tray and dough will ensure that you will easily be able to peel the form away from the pasta.

Also, very importantly, the elasticity and thickness of the dough as well as the consistency of the filling will have a huge impact on your success. These factors, unfortunately are only perfected through the old trial and error process.

The tray worked fairly well for the most part. There's 2 things I don't care for and that may get better once I get more used to it. 1. It's very light, as your trying to use your rolling pin to cut the edges the tray slides all over the place. And 2. cutting with a rolling pin is difficult. If you hold the pin at a slight angle around the outer edges it'll cut fine, but the middle does not want to cut very well, I think Michael's has a small clay roller that would make this work better.
