Preparation of meatballs and not only in silicone ice molds

I am very grateful to everyone for this Temko. We sculpt dumplings together: I roll on a dough roller, my husband applies minced meat and sculpts "dumplings" on Gefu's raviolnitsa, and since the minced meat is now (thanks to you) I have equal portions, then the result is excellent, otherwise my husband's eye is "wrong" then thick - then empty.
I also have a Soviet book, but compared to Gefu, the dumplings from the book are self-indulgence, a trifle, we love the mouth to be happy with the dumplings!

Elena M, how about Gefu with dumplings?

Reporting: Made dumplings in Gefu today

This put the frozen (not melted) Horso mince, you can see that it protrudes from above

And this is already melted, I crushed it on top a little and everything fit

What I like about this method of sculpting dumplings is that you can add a little more water to the minced meat, for greater juiciness, and if you sculpt from completely defrosted minced meat, excess moisture will interfere with the molding. And yet, I do not shake the dumplings out of the mold, but pull out each by the corner, glue the corners diagonally and you're done.

How about Gefu's dumplings?

Normal such dumplings are obtained, made with cottage cheese, the hole is large, the filling fits a lot, it looks like ravioli, and it tastes like dumplings.

ElenaM, Elena, oh, thank you very much for your work and photos! Everything is clear and understandable! Beautiful dumplings! I'm sure that the speed of making dumplings at the Gefu raviolnitsa is very high. Now, for sure, no one in the Flea Market theme will get rid of Gefu's raviolitsa.

[ElenaM]

ElenaM, Elena, raviolnitsa metal or plastic.
Such raviolki are beautiful, like miniature mantas.

Natusya, Thank you so much! Do frozen meatballs work well?

Al, I had to pry off the edge with a knife



I think I should have moistened the uniform.

Oh, I see. Let with a little help, but they leave the form, and this is the most important thing. When preparing a large amount of minced meat, no form is superfluous. So I always process a large amount of minced meat, always large volumes are obtained.

Thank you all for your active participation, wishes and suggestions! Natusya measured the weight of the cells of her combined polyethylene-silicone molds, for which we are grateful to her,  and therefore we supplement the table with the weight of the cells.

ElenaM, Elena, raviolnitsa metal or plastic

Raviolnitsa metal.

Two more pictures, for more information:

Elena, It turns out that the frozen minced meat sticks out not because it does not fit into the hole, but because the short legs prevent it from sinking lower?
And if the legs are built up with something? Then you won't have to wait until the minced meat melts. There, judging by the photo, quite a bit is needed.
In general, very beautiful dumplings-dumplings are obtained

I had to pry off the edge with a knife

Natasha, and there is a silicone bottom in the holes, flexible. When pressed from the back side, shouldn't the frozen balls jump out? There is also a silicone for this and attached below
I twisted this in my hands, but there is an opinion that this silicone falls off from plastic over time

[Ol]

Then you won't have to wait until the minced meat melts.

Ol, I empirically came to the conclusion that the meatballs from the mold from the freezer should lie on the table for at least 30 minutes to thaw the topmost layer ... Otherwise, it sticks to the dough in the hole of the dumpling maker and may tear the dough while rolling on the top of the dumplings

Girls, does it happen for everyone or for me alone?

But to build up legs is definitely worth considering the possibility

The minced Horso blank is not only too tall for Gefu, but also too narrow. With partial defrosting, pressing, and not only shorten it, but also flatten it a little, expand the hole to size. If you build up the legs and insert the frozen blank, then it will fit in height, and in width: there will be a lot of free space around it, there will be a lot of air in it, and the dumplings will seem to be inflated and will immediately float during cooking.

Elena, your truth, the air inside the dumplings is bad, because it can tear it (dumpling) due to the expansion of the minced meat during cooking ...

ElenaM, and you pour flour on the raviolnitsa and what is the thickness of the dough?

I don't sprinkle flour on the raviolnitsa, there is no need, but I roll out the dough on a Kenwood rolling machine on a 7-ke, but it depends on the dough, on its elasticity, that is, on flour (sometimes on an 8-ke).
And I often freeze minced meat cutlets and I also wanted to make them easier to sculpt, so I ordered, but I have not yet received this shape.

photo with Ali, so I'll hide

when I get it, I'll brag.

[ElenaM]

ElenaM, can I have a link to this pink mold?

I can't link, because I'm a reader on the forum, not a writer, I can only like this: "6 Grids Oval Soap Silicone Molds Silicone Molds Chocolate Cake Decorated with Round Cheese Dough Kitchen Baking Cookie Cutter Tools", in the search bar on Ali.

[ElenaM]

ElenaM, Elena, about inserting pictures

This photo just can't be uploaded to your gallery and then post ... Neither openly, nor under the spoiler (thus you pass someone else's photo as your own). It is correct and legal to do it this way - right-click on the picture on the Internet, select "Copy URL of the picture" from the drop-down menu and then paste the bread maker copied through the icon "MONA LISA" in the message on the website

Thank you, Sveta, for the hint, I have already improved

[ElenaM]

ElenaMwhat a good shape for cutlets! : wow: And most importantly, the correct dimensions, especially the depth is the thing! In my molds, the depth is 2 cm. I speak from my own experience. however, I used 3-local ice cream tins from Fix-Price, at the price of 77 rubles per item. In my form, the size of cutlets obtained suits me, and the weight is also - without breading, the weight of the cutlets is 73 grams, with breading, the weight is 80 grams, after frying, the weight is 63 grams.







Pour water over the frozen cutlet for a second and immediately throw it into a bowl of bread crumbs - I really liked this instant process!



Here is a cutlet on a standard Luminarkov plate



And here there are already breaded cutlets, it turned out to be extremely convenient to grab, bread and put frozen cutlets in the ice with such tongs (my favorite tongs, I get them all hotter - be it eggs, beets, a piece of meat from a hot broth, etc.)

[Olga]

Olga, well, you have everything! ... She ran away, at least toss it into the basket.



Ala, your cutlets are beautiful too. And after cooking, they are not made completely thin? We are used to the fact that there were puff cutlets.

We are used to the fact that there were puffy cutlets

But thin ones can be thrown directly frozen into the pan, they will fried well and quickly to the full depth.

[Olga]

Olga, in truth, "everyone has their own taste" - the words of Paratov-Mikhalkov: "someone loves a watermelon, and someone loves a pork cartilage"

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, cutlets are the same thickness, do not rise in the middle with a dome. I turned out to be pleased, although initially I bought only for stuffing cutlets, well, for filling. For the filling, the depth of 2 cm was not enough, but for uniform and fairly fast frying of the cutlets it turned out to be just right. So, quite unexpectedly, I found my Grail for cutlets. I bought additional forms, now I have as many as 10 molds, for 30 pieces of cutlets. I make cutlets quickly, now they are not translated by me.

And yes, I immediately fry the cutlets frozen. How to "seal the juice", then under my stainless steel pan I already put the flame divider and the cutlets "reach".

I measured (with a caliper) the thickness of the already fried cutlet - 2.2 cm.

I also want.
Ala, you probably gave a link to these forms, can I repeat it as a lazy person? Plizzzzz

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, so I bought these silicone ice cream molds at the local Fix-Price for 77 rubles per mold. I thought this price was cheap.

at the local Fix-Price

Pichalka, we don't have a local Fisk-Price ... but in general, we need puzzles

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, Ol, silicone also freezes and does not move the minced meat. Then I bought Honeycombs, they are lying, they are waiting for minced meat

silicone also hardens and does not move the minced meat.

Like this? He must remain soft, this is the whole trick

the thickness of the already fried cutlet is 2.2 cm.

Figase bast

Like this? It should remain soft, this is the whole trick: -

Yul, maybe he should, but I didn't succeed, so it was faster for me to pick up and shake out with a knife



Girls, can you buy Gef's raviolnitsa somewhere cheaper? It’s a pity for me to spread 3 thousand ...

there are already breaded cutlets, it turned out to be extremely convenient to grab, bread and put frozen cutlets in the ice

Alechka, and I have a question - how to cook frozen raw cutlets later? At home, 2 kg of minced meat is already a cutlet - I think either to fry (well, not to fry, of course - the son cannot fried) and freeze or shape, freeze - and then how to cook? )

[Lena]

Lena, if fried is impossible, then stew the cutlets. I put frozen in a frying pan, on a cold one. If simmering, add a little broth or sauce and simmer slowly for 50 minutes over low heat. They are just defrosted and cooked completely.

[Anchic]

Anchic,
Thank you, Anyut) Under their cover?

[Antonovka]

Antonovka, you can cook in different ways. But it is more convenient, simpler and faster to form cutlets from raw minced meat, freeze, breaded, cook (by frying on the stove, or by stewing on a baking sheet in the oven - my godfather always stews and stews cutlets with whole baking sheets), and then freeze ready cutlets ... Then just reheat in the microwave. Out of my great laziness, in order to save time and convenience, I also freeze ready-made cutlets, so that I can only reheat them later. It is extremely convenient, and most importantly, you can put together your lunch very quickly.

Under their cover?

Yes, under the lid. After all, the goal is to cook without frying.My mother-in-law first fries them, then brings them to readiness by stewing. But you can also exclude the roasting stage completely, since it is impossible. And I also thought - you can cook it for steam. In time - you need to get used to it once.

[Creamy]

I keep fresh for a minute at high temperature, then a little boiling water and on the lid)
Creamy, Anchic, Thank you, girls! I have a meat "run" tonight - I need to cook part of the cutlets, freeze some, make dumplings and freeze them - and the freezer is non-rubber)) And there is little time

for the sake of saving time and convenience, I also freeze ready-made cutlets, so that I can only reheat them later. It is extremely convenient, and most importantly, you can assemble lunch very quickly.

This is the most convenient option, I also do it. I cook a lot of fresh minced meat at once, and then I freeze it in portions

Girls, on Ali a 19-seater dumpling maker costs $ 16. And there is? I've been looking for a couple of weeks, the price hasn't changed. I know that there were discounts for it, our girls took it. And without a discount, that's how it costs?

[M @ rtochka]

M @ rtochka, Daria, I took it for 969 rubles ... Now it seems to be 30 rubles more - 998 rubles. But I have never regretted it! With science from Alevtina, dumplings began to be made with joy and quickly!

[M @ rtochka]

M @ rtochka, Daria, when you throw something into the basket on Ali, a whole bunch of this product from other sellers is displayed, but at different prices, both higher and much lower. The site thus helps in choosing. Good luck!

Today I received a plastic dumplings and was upset. It is so tiny, but I thought that it was 37 pieces in diameter, like a Soviet one, and it has 19 cells.
I thought that I would cook with steamed meat. With cottage cheese, with cherries ... roll out my lip.

Thank you! Have you bought from him? Reviews are not very good.

Have you bought from him?
