Cheap Fox Run Fox Run Aluminum Pierogi Maker

Customer Ratings:

We've had one of these forms for several years along with 1 other form without the plastic insert. This is the very best!!! The plastic insert makes perfect depth pockets in the dough after you roll it out. This eliminates accidental rips in the dough when you just press the filling into a plain mold. We loved this so much we purchased a spare for ourselves and one for each of our adult children. Makes beautiful sized and crimped pierogis no matter the filling used.

This maker/press is one of the coolest inventions!! It makes making pierogies a breeze. If you use this press along with a dough roller such as a KitchenAid Mixer attachment it's even easier to make pierogies!!! I posted pictures of different stages in the process of making them with this maker (Amazon did not upload them in order, I re-did it like 3 times and gave up. If you read my caption on the photos it shows which step is which.)

Growing up in a very Polish family I have made pierogies a bunch of times and use my Grandmother's recipe. Making them in years past it was really time consuming having to cut out each Pierogi, fill and seal the Pierogi by hand. I know this is how they did it for generations, but this maker makes the process so much easier!! I can also say that as long as your dough isn't too thin, not one Pierogi will burst open when you put them into the boiling water. This thing SEALS them!! We bought two of these and this is our second year using them. They are awesome. If you roll your dough properly and use this maker properly they will come out PERFECT and it will be less time intensive.

One last note: If you like your pierogies with a lot of filling, this can accommodate that! You just need to be gentle pulling them out of the maker. You basically need to turn the maker upside down and wiggle them out from underneath.

Oh and another side note: The person that rated this product 1 star stating you need to wait until it 'dries' to remove them... since when do you wet the dough?! We used freshly made dough (even sometime sticky dough)and it worked great. They are apparently not using the product correctly!!

Happy Pierogi Making!!

I think this thing is pretty good except the pierogies end up having a lot of extra dough on the sides (still better than ravioli makers). I am from Russia and our pierogies are much smaller when not hand made, but similar in shape. This maker, however, is the closest I could find in the American market for a reasonable price.

The specific model that I received from Amazon, however, isn't entirely straight, meaning when I use my dough roller to put the final pierogies together, the middle part tends to still be slightly mushy, so I end up having to seal the edges in the middle together with my fingers. Not a major ordeal, but kind of defeats the purpose of this instrument. Hence the 4 stars.

Honest reviews on Fox Run Fox Run Aluminum Pierogi Maker

I wondered if the molds would be too large, but they are the right size for Polish pierogi. I added "Polish" even though using the word along with pierogi is a bit redundant. But I had seen another review that commented on "Russian pierogi" and wanted to differentiate. Russian filled dumplings are much smaller than what you get in this six piece mold.

I wondered if the crimped edges would be too thick or wide. No, they are fairly delicate and minimal crimps. I was a bit afraid that having the extra crimp on the long side (the side that is just a fold-over in hand-formed pierogi) would be too obvious. I found the extra crimp to be a non-issue.

One major plus: I found that I could get more filling into a pierog with this mold.

I must say that--as is true with any pierogi-making effort--if your dough is working with you, this is a great product. If your dough is working against you, well, this product will not make the effort any easier. If you've made pierogi before, you know what I mean. I've used this product twice now and thank goodness, (for the sake of this review), the first time I used this mold my dough was cooperating and the experience was a pleasant. The second time I used this mold was more of a struggle. But it wasn't the fault of the mold--it was me and the dough doing battle.

If you make traditional pierogi dough (delicate, soft, thin), you won't need more than one of these molds. It would be hard to roll out enough dough to use two molds at once. (Just multiply the size of this form by four (top and bottom plus another top and bottom) and picture that size rolled out on your counter top.) Personally, I can't keep that much dough stretched out without it drying too much.

Also, if you use a very delicate and moist dough, you might have to use some finesse to nudge the finished pierogi out of the mold. Leaving the mold set for a minute with the pierogi still in it does the trick: After a minute, up-end the mold and the pierogi will fall out.

FYI: To give you an idea of the dough I use: It is too soft to run through a pasta maker.

I'm very glad I finally bought one of these molds; wished I would have done so much sooner.
