Hello girls!
I'll tell you my story of acquiring my pet and assistant!
Last year, after the end of the winter holidays at school and the beginning of the educational process, "dumplings day" came for me (as usual)! This is a day that I dedicate exclusively to making dumplings! How is he special for me? And the fact that he falls out of life! I buy 2-2.5 kg of meat (!!!) And, from the resulting minced meat, by hand, armed with a rolling pin and a round dumplings, I get to work! Since I don't have a kneader, and HP, most likely, will not cope with such a steep dough, then the dough has to be kneaded with handles and rolled out later. In general, you understand all my torments!
As a result, several hundred dumplings in the freezer, the child is happy, his conscience rejoices (the child is provided with a natural breakfast), pride mentally cries out: "Heroine", hands shake with fatigue, greed chokes with the words: "Dumplings only for a child! Who even touches him - a corpse! " For well, their nafik! Terrible fatigue! But I appreciate my work and feel sorry for myself)
So, the next day, back to reality, I dived into the Internet in search of an easier way to sculpt these damn dumplings! The all-knowing Google began to give me different forms for dumplings and stamps in pictures (sobsno, nothing easier)! And then, a miracle Yudo machine catches my eye! I have never met such overseas units before! According to the description, she rolls out the dough (just twist the handle), and if you also attach a nozzle to it, then at the exit you get ready-made (!!!!!) raviolics like a machine-gun belt! Wow! My mind collapsed immediately! Columbus, the first time he saw Amereka through a telescope from his ship, did not experience such delight as I felt! There are colorful pictures in my head: me and ravioli! MOUNTAINS! All! We now need to buy a freezer too! No! TWO! URGENT (where to store so many ravioli now?)! And urgently we buy a dacha and at the dacha we will get a dozen piglets for fresh meat) In general, the horror that my stupefied fantasy was faking!
Then began to study information about prices, types, sizes, manufacturers and other things, something else. Sobsna, and the prices were pleasing, because such a thing with nozzles for ravioli (the most important) was: 450-600-900 UAH and separately Markato with the Empire with prices from 2200 thousand UAH, which I did not even consider (I should buy pigs with freezers You need to save money))) Moreover, at that time they all seemed to me exactly the same! China or Italy finally doesn't matter!
And that's all, I can't eat, I can't breathe, I read and wanted a typewriter!
Well, and then the turn in studying this issue came to distinguishing between models and viewing reviews. Hmm ... Damn, but they (the raviolmakers) are not really praised! Bliin, ambush! Not everyone succeeds, that is, no one succeeds at all (that's about budget options)! But in the pictures, everyone looks beautiful! What's the catch?
Let's read the information again! And I got to the Khlebopechki forum, where there were many more reviews and advice in choosing than anywhere else! Then they surfaced for me like a clear sun among the clouds of Chinese noodle cutters, namely Marcato Atlas and Empire! Damn, but the prices are not "ah"! One car by Marcato was almost equal to the annual budget allocated by our state for an average town! And only vivid memories of the, not yet forgotten, process of the recent molding of dumplings and the killed day did not give me the opportunity to forget and erase these machines from my life! I sit and look at the monitor screen with photos of ravioli, then at my only pens, then again in the photo and again at the pens! Resolved! We’ll rather sell our husband’s kidney (while he sleeps), but by all means we’ll scrap the money ...
Even the machine fell into the soul of Marcato Atlas. The empire seemed to me not very shiny! How I was looking for this machine! To all sites in Ukraine! I almost learned Chinese (I was thinking of ordering with Tao Bao), even a thought arose in Russia to give up on permanent residence (your prices are lower, the sales market is higher, but they were quickly bought up for shares).
I searched for, in search engines I entered both in Russian, and in English, and in Ukrainian, and Markato ", and" Matcato ", and then I entered" MarKato "(with an alleged error). And, lo and behold, I found it! the volume is not a fake, all the pictures and descriptions have the correct name, but there was an error in the keywords for the search! And the price of UAH 1800! The man was throwing off the prices, because there were no sales (of course! ) Standard kit without motor, of course I bought it!
Received and rejoiced hoo how much! And the most important thing is that I made the first ravioli on it a month later somewhere! And why? But because my hands were shaking with joy for a month (I could not approach the test)! And dumplings from the previous molding, as if from a master's shoulder, I allowed my own to devour without greed!
In general, the machine is cool! If someone has doubts, then doubts should be set aside and your beloved should be appreciated and respected. which means to facilitate work!
As in the cartoon "Prostokvashino" Pechkin is honored: "Why was I harmful before? Because I have a bicycle NOODLES CUTTERS did not have! I can, I’m just starting to live - I’m going to retire ... "So I was greedy before on my dumplings)
In general, for a year we lived on the same ravioli (just kidding)! At the same time, I acquired a couple of molds for ravioli and a Tupper mold for dumplings, and a piece for chebureks (really cool, but wider than a strip of dough. But even there I adapted), and a bunch of all sorts of interesting junk.
I was looking for another form about a week and a half ago and again came to your forum. I went to my dear Temka about noodles and already took nostalgia! I was glad for those who acquired the same assistants! And what do you think? And I got infected again, only now with a motor! Darkness! I hate this trait in myself! So what? And I had to look again! Logically I understand that it will not work like that with luck for the price. Shandarahnula from the declared on the sites! Yes, it is cheaper to fly to Turkey with a family than to buy a motor!
Somehow even completely without enthusiasm. I was looking at the local sales website and just thought: for 1300 UAH I would buy ... Imagine my amazement when an ad opens HERE: "Atlas electric machine for the production of homemade dumplings Atlas with a motor" !!! And the price is 1300 UAH! FSE! Speech is gone! Well this is what I was looking for! Marcato Atlas Motor! For 1300 UAH! But also with a typewriter! NEW! With the docks! What have I done? - That's right, let's ask for a discount!))) 200 UAH, bastard, just lost)))) Just kidding, not a bastard, thanks a lot to him))
Yesterday I got it! Satisfied as I don’t know who) Now I just don’t know where to put the second car (my relatives are not such fans of the test, what to give).
Girls, thank you very much and deep bow for all your efforts, reviews, photos and descriptions! Without you, perhaps, I would have sculpted dumplings and stuff with handles in the old fashioned way! I would not have such an arsenal of necessities for cooking for pleasure! And I would be angry and greedy (on dumplings), my family would love me less, I would grow old faster (from hard work in the kitchen) and die before everyone else, all wrinkled and with a rolling pin in my hand!
All!
P.S. I do not know how to briefly express my thoughts ... Sorry for the multibukf and mistakes!
