Preparation of meatballs and not only in silicone ice molds

Girls, and the diameter of 3 cm is outside or is it already a shitty product? And then I look for a slightly smaller diameter for the IDEA dumpling maker - optimally 2.5 cm.
Of course, Ali-eBey has this, but who knows how their pictures relate to the real product

Ol, I'm trying to insert a photo from the phone, it doesn't work. 2.8cm cell diameter



Wo, it worked!)

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, the diameter is about 3.1 cm, and the depth is about 2.9 cm. Something like this.

2.8cm cell diameter

Oh, deffki, you are confused in the testimony! And they confused me fsyu
You probably have different horses *
___________
* Horse (English) - horse, horse

Virgin, now wait my husband looked over his shoulder and how he began to laugh!
Says: Margot, what are you doing here !!!!
What kind of balls are you measuring with a ruler in cm ...
Olyayayaya
And yet, he in my Ozone in the delayed Wishlist saw that children's scoop ... soooo long neighing !!!

Oh, deffki, you are confused in the testimony! And they confused me fsyu

Ol, well, for your sake, I even learned to insert pictures from the phone. So watch yourself, lope

What kind of balls are you measuring with a ruler in cm ...

When I went to the kitchen with a ruler, mine also asked, what are you? I didn’t even bother to speak, and I’m already in his eyes

Girls, I didn't find the ruler right away, I measured it with a centimeter. Sorry.

Here is the scoop. See for yourself. One of the girls wrote: I ordered it for children, but did not give it away, I use it myself in the kitchen. Well, I rushed to Ozone, when I saw ...
What is "Out of stock"

The husband says "Have fun with you!"

I even learned to insert pictures from the phone for you.

Oh, how young I am! I bring skills to the masses.
So, I’ll still teach you how to measure the depth of the cells
Write:
1. Take a ruler, put it flat on the form, like in your picture.
2. Then you take a toothpick and poke it deep into the cell (the current is careful not to pierce the valuable thing). Use a fingernail or a marker to mark the depth of the ruler on a toothpick.
3. You remove the marked toothpick from the depths of the valuable thing and apply it to the ruler.
4. Then you already know.

We are waiting for
So be it, you don't have to suffer with the photo, just give the result

[Lilida]

Lilida, thank you, I'll see!

never "worn"

It doesn't matter, the main thing is that they are there, but wanting to eat ...

[Olga VB]

Especially for Olga VB I am posting a photo and my reflections on stuffing a Horso hemisphere into a Soviet rather rare dumpling maker for 23 large dumplings. It's just that they used to torture me in a personal about this, so I decided to post it for everyone to see. Click on the photo, they increase.

So I took out just such a dumpling maker and put one frozen hemisphere-sphere into the cell.



And here the snapshot is closer:



I want to note that the hemisphere slipped into the hole and lay down on the table with a "belly" (remember what lies on the table!) The upper edge of the hemisphere was above the entrance to the hole, but below the upper edge of the ribs protruding above the surface of the dumplings. In the hole, the hemisphere does not reach at the edges by 1.2-2 mm. And it should be borne in mind that there is no layer of dough either under the hemisphere itself, or in the bed of the ball, and the dough has a thickness of 2-2.2 mm. That is, if we put a hemisphere on a dumpling dish covered with dough, then the hemisphere will not enter, or will just enter, but with its size and rigidity (it is frozen) it will tear the dough at the level of the entrance to the hole.It turns out there is no margin for safety from breaking the test with a hemisphere. It's about the hemispheres.
About the use of honeycomb meatballs for this dumpling maker. It is categorically impossible to use frozen, because the height of the frozen honeycomb-meatball is as much as 2 cm !, and with its six corners it will also tear the dough. Meatballs - honeycombs can be used for this dumpling maker only if they are completely thawed or half thawed beforehand to remove the presence of 6 corners by defrosting. Here's an analysis.

[Alevtina]

Alevtina, here on the fly FSE extinguish impulses!
I will have to squeeze the minced meat out of the culinary bag in the ancient way
Or the cells are not filled to the top, which requires additional fuss

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, for Horses' half-balls you need a 19 local Chinese dumpling maker, so they fit perfectly together and even frozen dumpling maker's half-balls are easy to fit.

a 19 local Chinese dumpling maker is needed for Horses' hemispheres

Hachu under IDEA

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, give it to someone in FIG. And bother with big holes. Creamy will not advise bad.

Gyyy! And I also buy a mouth in China - a new one, with a large hole
I do not like to bite off dumplings, I like to put a whole in my mouth

And I also buy a mouth in China - a new one, with a large hole

Sit and open - exercise, stretch the hole

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, but Khors is a Russian company, and if you write to them, what if they condescend and take pity and release a mold for IDEA? And a dumpling from under a 19-seat dumpling maker is exactly the size that is made at home, cutting the dough into a glass, this is absolutely mini dumplings.

because of you, I went to dig out this, remember at least the direction where I hid :)))

[Lika_n]

Lika_nand what is it?

There used to be such ice cube trays in old refrigerators.

this is a mold for ice in my refrigerator Zil-Moscow was.
pull the handle up, the blades become mobile and shake out .. well, I will have square meatballs :))))

[Lika_n]

Lika_n, I always admire the engineers of those times. Many modern composite materials did not exist at that time, but the problems were successfully and successfully solved precisely by engineering thought.

And I also buy a mouth in China - a new one, with a large hole

Sit and open - exercise, stretch the hole

FSE! Kirdyk! Nimagubolsha! Aaaaaaa-Ha-Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Girls, I read, I read you ...I have molds, I use and now I already understand that I do not understand something. No, well, the fact that you want tasty big dumplings to make your mouth happy is understandable. what deepen and speed up their preparation from your semi-finished products, having meatball molds and dumplings mantle with large cells, so that their holes coincide in size with the meatballs from the mold - this is also clear. I don’t understand why, for what purpose a ready-made dumpling must certainly slip out of the hole onto the table? Tell me, plizz! I have an ordinary Soviet-era dumplings, inherited from my mother-in-law. I never remember that her dumplings would fall out through the holes on the table. She simply rolled the top layer of the dough with a rolling pin, the dumplings were pressed into the holes, while the edges of the dough were already cut by the edges of the dumplings. And then ... everything just (!) The mother-in-law turned the dumpling maker over and all the dumplings fell out, you want to go to the table, you go straight to the casserole. Well, sometimes you need to hit it once, not without it. And I've been doing this for a century. I ... in the sense of stupidity? and don't understand something? Or do you have some new technologies for using dumplings? Do not throw stones. I'm hiding for every fireman, I will spy

I don’t understand why, for what purpose a ready-made dumpling must certainly slip out of the hole onto the table?

Nooo, shouldn't! He, like any other dumpling from such a dumpling machine, should fall out on the table when turning over.
We try on something else. We are looking at what diameter the mold for freezing minced meat should have, so that this frozen minced meat can then be conveniently used in your favorite dumpling maker.
And this diameter should be such that this frozen hemisphere freely fell into the hole of the dumplings, rinsing the dough layer with itself, but without breaking it, and at the same time so that it did not stick out over the cutting edge of the cells. And at the same time, the favorite thickness of the dough should be taken into account both from the sides and from the top, i.e. the dough with the filling should have free interlocking, so that it is convenient to roll the dumplings, and then dump them on the table when turning, so that they do not slow down in the mold, do not get stuck, and so that the frozen half-sphere of minced meat does not tear the dough when making dumplings. Therefore, we see that if the frozen minced meat freely, with a margin passes into the hole of the mold, then it will also behave decently when making dumplings.
Fuh! ... She explained how she could. I hope something became clear from my confusion

I hope something became clear from my confusion

ahhh! out cho pozvazyvatstsa! and I think, why are they measuring everything in millimeters? Well, yes, it's easier with minced meat, you can't shove it anymore. And here, with frozen balls, half-balls, hexagons ..., just calculate everything mathematically and provide for A. I think, but the faq ... turned the order! And here ... you know, science is mathematics. Well done, girls, everything up to a tenth of a millimeter. Probably, for a safe option, the diameter of the cell in the molds should be 5 ml less than the diameter of the holes in the dumplings, otherwise nothing!

She explained everything correctly and absolutely accurately!

Today I made minced meat, put it in honeycombs and hemispheres. And for the experiment, I even folded the two forms of the hemispheres facing each other - it’s immediately clear that there will be more than a ball, some kind of mignon, it’s also interesting to know whether the hemispheres will stick together into balls or not, and it’s also interesting to find out if such “minions are cooked in broth” "from the two hemispheres will fall into halves, or they will stand. If there is enough time, then maybe I'll play with dumplings

Oh, how young I am! I bring skills to the masses

Well, on the off-line, someone said that you are like the headmaster or something like that

So I will teach you how to measure the depth of the cells.

No, well, I'm nipOnila, are you teaching an engineer how to make measurements?

We are waiting for

Well, lana, lana, I'll do a mustache, chief And I'll even take a picture, I can now. But the current is not today, okay, Maryvanna?
Damn, tomorrow I would remember what did you learn today how to insert pictures from the phone

[Ala]

Ala, we look forward to MK, I want to see firsthand the result of searches

Well lana, lana, I will do a mustache, chief

Zhenya, not the Chief .. but the Director !!!!!

Ohospadi, if only they fell apart, if only they fell apart!
Then I will at least settle down with these molds.

if only they fell apart, if only they fell apart!

should not! I froze 2 molds, and put them on top of each other without a bag gaskets between themselves. So the bottom of the top froze so well to the lower meatballs, and it was just silicone for the minced meat, and if the headlights for the minced meat, it would freeze tightly! I'm soooo kaaaTsTSA

[Elena Tim]

Ohospadi, if only they fell apart, if only they fell apart!
Then I will at least settle down with these molds.

Elena Tim, I ripped off my tongue ... I follow Alevtina, like a mouse for a pipe - what will show, I immediately obediently go to dig the Internet and order

oh, I didn't get honeycombs, but I have such round yellow ones somewhere !!! I bought in Lenta, I remember this, but for a long time, I would find it now)

[Lena Tim]

I show that I got from two Horses' forms with hemispheres connected by the front sides.



As expected, not a ball at all, but an unknown culinary form of minced meat semi-finished product. It reminded me of the characters of the cartoon "Despicable Me", so I named the minions. Despite great efforts to pick out these aligned shapes, none of the 18 minions broke. In the photo, raw frozen minions on a regular Luminarkov plate. minions turned out to be really big, the weight of one minion is 25 grams. One minion about the size of a tablespoon.


Commemorating a good order Lena Tim so that they fell apart during cooking, I cooked for a long, long time, I already boiled them, boiled them, but nothing takes them, they are strong, monolithic and are also uniform in the cut, without hints that they were molded from two halves. Here are boiled minions on the same plate.



The minions, of course, are strong, but I did this only for the sake of experience, I wanted to see what happened. Curiosity gratified. Painfully, the minions look dumb, and in time it doesn't hurt even quickly. For myself, I decided that I would not make exactly such minions.

Here I will show, as promised, a photo, how to bend the frozen shape with honeycombs in diagonal rows over the edge of the table in order to quickly knock out the frozen meatballs.



And here I show my plywood board under the bottom of the silicone molds. To keep it from getting dirty, I put it in a sturdy zip bag.

[Creamy]

The minions, of course, are strong, but I did this only for the sake of experience, I wanted to see what happened. Curiosity gratified. Painfully, the minions look dumb, and in time it doesn't hurt even quickly. For myself, I decided that I would not make exactly such minions.

Creamy, Alya, but it seems to me that you shouldn't be so on them. I immediately got the idea to make a thin dough into rectangles and wrap it like candy. Candy dumplings will look very funny on the plates

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, funny, then funny. But while these frozen minions are boiling over (and 25 grams of freezing is not sickly), the dough can be boiled into the trash, although, of course, you can try this if you wish.

I remember Lena Tim's kind order that they fall apart during cooking, I cooked for a long, long time, I already boiled them, boiled them, but nothing takes them, they are strong, monolithic and are also uniform in the cut, without hints that they were molded from two halves.

Damn ... I didn't even have time to dream.

Alenka, thanks for the "overbeat" across the table - I'll try it too. And then the last time ... I pulled out meatballs in half with swearing words, I was afraid to tear the uniform to shreds.

[Creamy]

Creamy, Alya, but I liked the minions! And if you fry them after boiling with vegetables a la wok, add Asian seasonings and sauces? The result is a dish with oriental notes!

[Rosie]

Rosie, Yes, it will be much more interesting for frying and if played with seasonings and serving with decor, it will look unusual.

[Rosie]

these frozen minions are boiled (and 25 grams of freezing is not sickly), the dough can be boiled into the trash,

and if steamed in a mantool ...

And if you fry them

Rosie, not minions, but from this opera fried directly from the freezer, everything worked out, the meatballs were fried and the potatoes were crispy:

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, fry and boil in broth, these are two big differences. These minions are best fried. They remind me of an egg from a kinder surprise. Minions from minced fish may be interesting. My minions are completely nondescript in appearance, they are chicken-curd, pale.

My minions are completely nondescript in appearance, they are chicken-curd, pale.

Alya, well, you’ll say it too ... there are some pretty minion sausages. Fry until golden brown and!

Girls, but did not you try to pour hot water into a deep bowl and lower the silicone molds with minced meat there for a few seconds? They should jump out faster from such heating.

No, we haven’t tried it, we’re afraid that later the meatballs in the bag will grab each other. If the honeycomb shape is bent over the edge of the table precisely along the line of the diagonal rows, then the meatballs fly out only on the way. I always bend all my various silicone forms on the edge of the table precisely along the line of the membranes-partitions, everything immediately flies out easily.

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, your meatballs are very beautiful. Probably the latest fashion is from silicone special forms?

[Rosie]

Probably the latest fashion is from silicone special forms?

Rosie, "I can't say for the whole Odessa ...", but HP is definitely the last squeak!

[Ilmirushka]

IlmirushkaBy the way, you were interested in the ideal dumpling maker who does almost everything herself? The other day I ordered myself such, but close to ideal, Risto's dumplings. Found the ad on our local counterpart Avito, but the store is Moscow. Probably everyone knows him, he sells Italian dough rollers. I don't know, you can write its name here.
Last weekend I walked through all the hot spots of Almaty, where the Gondol dumpling machine for 19 dumplings could be sold. But alas, everywhere there is a dumpling maker, but the usual one for 30-something dumplings. With the same label, instructions in Turkish, but made in China. Both plastic and metal. And there are no molds for meatballs either. China, apparently, does not do such things, and Horst is not brought to us. I thought, I thought, I ordered a silicone mold "koloboks" from Becker (for meatballs) and this dumpling machine at the local WB branch. They just had a 50% discount, before it cost about 12,000 rubles, and now, together with delivery, 6,000 plus something. I don’t know if it’s expensive or not. Now, the main thing is to get it quickly. TK promised in 2 weeks. Now I'm waiting for her with the same impatience as Kuzinka.

after all, you were interested in the perfect dumplings,

yeah, it was, I probably saw all the homemade machines for dumplings, but my ideal has not yet been invented. I dream when they connect a couple of cars into one, I will put flour in one half of the car, minced meat in the other, and ready-made dumplings will fall out, and without me! Well this is my dream ...

Olya, somewhere 2.2-2.3 cm
