Preparation of meatballs and not only in silicone ice molds

In plastic, the diameter of round holes is 25mm, and in black it is 32mm.
The second photo shows that the plastic mold fits almost completely between the black legs. It would fit neatly if the white had smooth edges, not wavy ones.

The height of the legs of both is 1.5 cm.

[Marpl]

Marpl, MarinaThank you very much for the comparative analysis.

[Marina]

The plastic round holes diameter is 25mm

Abaldet! This is even less than that of my Soviet dumplings (28mm).

Marina, very valuable data on the plastic dumplings. Thank you!

Recently I tried to stuff large snail shells with minced meat from frozen honeycomb meatballs.



I took these Shebekin snails



here the ratio of the size of the meatball to the shells-snails. On the right are boiled snail shells. The filling of one Shebekinskaya snail takes half a meatball from a honeycomb.





And here I was already stuffing mega-large snails. One honeycomb meatball was not even enough for such a snail. The double volume would fit exactly. In the photo, just one meatball peeps out at the bottom. Then I sprinkled them with cheese and herbs.



This is how mega-large snail shells look in the package.

My conclusion: I didn't like it at all! I didn’t like the fact that it took a long time to stuff (especially Shebekin snails), it took quite a long time to cook. Boil, fill, set to simmer for minced meat and evaporate excess liquid, then sprinkle with cheese and bake lightly again. It seemed to me very long and not productive. And it tastes like macaroni with meatballs, even with cheese and herbs. No, I won't do that anymore. Here is such an experience, and maybe I just do not know how to properly stuff such snail shells.

[Alevtina]

Alevtina, I am very grateful for the shown here stainless bowl. The bowl is just super - weighty and stable, with a wide bottom and thick walls. Now I'm thinking about 6 liters like this. Bought her May-shop

🔗

As for stuffing pasta snails - and I really like it, but I really don't boil them first, I buy mega snail shells, put raw minced meat in them and freeze them. It turns out a ready-made semi-finished product. And then, either in the Princess, or just in a frying pan under a tight lid, I simmer with a little water for 20-25 minutes.

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, Sveta, did they send you a silver dumplings? I'm still waiting for the comparison. Didn't miss it?
I have to finally decide whether to buy a complete set for large dumplingseth, or just buy molds for your IDEA and Soviet classics
I've been waltzing like a Buridan's donkey for half a year now, I can't decide where to go - either to the smart ones, or to the beautiful
Someone would give me a kick pointing in the right direction

[Yuliya K]

Yuliya K, Yulia, the bowl is really wonderful. And the price is generally cool, I bought a little more. I like the 3.5-liter bowl for its successful volume and the fact that it does not jump on the table, does not fall on its side, like all other light bowls. And I also have an Ametovsky basin for 6 liters. It is very cool to cook jam in it, especially tender, with all kinds of translucent slices. I cook on gas on a flame divider, thanks to the large area of ​​the basin mirror, boiling takes place exactly as needed.

[Creamy]

Creamy, Alevtina, thank you BIG for the topic. I follow with interest (for now). Thanks also for the info on bowls and basins Ametovsky!

It is very cool to make jam in it

So, looking at this one, I thought that it would be great to cook jam in the same, but larger size! We must take!

[Olga VB]

Svetlenki, Sveta, did they send you a silver dumpling dish? I'm still waiting for the comparison. Didn't miss it?

Olga VB, Ol, the second dumpling maker has not arrived yet. But I have a VERY big doubt that it will be silver. it will be black again ... But I talked to smart people about the NOT use of this stupid coating (well, my quirk went to a commercial non-stick layer) - and so it is dangerous only when heated with oil at uncontrolled temperatures ... And here we are just making dumplings ...

The children noticed that the dumplings became larger - it seemed like before, when they were small, they tasted better ... That is, I still hope to find minced meat molds to use in the Soviet dumplings ... I look around

CreamyAlevtina, I haven’t written to the alibaba yet ... You have to register there, and you have to have some position ... And I’m a housewife ... While I’m pondering this topic ... But I’ll write to someone anyway!

That is, I still hope to find minced meat molds for use in a Soviet dumpling machine ... I look around

So I gave reference on a suitable mold

[Creamy]

So I gave a link to a suitable form

Ol, yes, I saw her ... I thought, I thought, why does she "not catch me". I'll tell you why - I went to measure the depth of the Horso hemispheres - 2 cm! And in the 1.2 cm offered by you ...

Then I measured the depth of the Soviet dumplings ... Well, there is a little less than 2 cm ... I won't say exactly, because I have a ruler as an instrument.

1.2 cm is too little stuffing for my men. I received reprimands so many times for a little minced meat And this symbiosis from Creamy so far ideal (Horsovskie plus black dumplings).

And, I repeat once again, Horses' molds are really cool! They are made with the mind, like the dumplings. There the stiffeners are in the right place and they themselves are compact - super simple!

Gyyyy, but on the contrary, they blame me for not having enough dough (I always have it straight transparent)
Then you do not need hemispheres, but like cones.
There were also such, - the base is plastic, and the bottom is silicone, just about 24 in diameter, and about 20 in depth.
I was just looking for the diameter to fit, and so that it was hemispheres, so that you could use it for dumplings and meatballs, adding 2 pieces each so that round balls would turn out.
We also love such tiny meatballs in tomato sauce, but you’ll wind them up - Mom don’t worry! I just want to try them in honeycombs

[Olga VB]

Then you do not need hemispheres, but like cones.
There were also such, - the base is plastic, and the bottom is silicone

Olga VB, Ol, they have bad reviews in the English Amazon ...

And, I must also say, today I took out the blanks for the baby from the honeycomb (ground baked chicken in broth), so after three honeycomb molds I put on gloves before working with frozen minced meat from Horses molds - my fingers froze into ice.

And with plastic molds with a silicone bottom it will be, I think, even longer and more complicated

We also love such tiny meatballs in tomato,

This is generally a dream, if someone comes up with a life hack! Unusual yummy!

And with plastic molds with a silicone bottom it will be, I think, even longer and more difficult

It's really easier with this: you press the soft silicone bottom on the table on the hard plastic, they all rise to the surface, flip - and everything flies out.
But I also heard (from you?) That this plastic-silicone joint is not reliable.
We are looking further.
But since there is no way for me to find a company, I myself will order small hemispheres, and then boast about it Or complain

Oh, girls, I forgot to tell.
I bought frozen cherries, it turned out to be quite vigorous, so I stuck dumplings on a dumpling machine like dumplings - one cherry in the hole and a slap-slap. Fast, convenient, tasty!
Recommend

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, Ol, yes, the cherry in the dumplings is cool.I have specially bought a Czech or Slovak dumpling maker for 55 tiny dumplings specially for cherries, exactly one cherry is placed in the hole.

So you probably have the right cherries. And that time mutants turned up for me
By the way, get ready, now you will be bombarded with questions about this Czech woman

Girls who already have large dumplings, can someone make it with cottage cheese filling. I wonder how many cherries fit inside

Girls, maybe someone has already conducted an experiment?

[Olga]

But since there is no way for me to find a company, I myself will order small hemispheres, and then boast about it Or complain

Olga, I got a form ...



did an experiment ...

This was the second batch ... the first batch failed ... the whole dough broke ... because. meat balls almost end-to-end enter the hole ... and frozen minced meat ... I made the second batch with slightly thawed balls, and it turned out better, as you can see ...

The third run was even more successful when the balls melted even more ...

From the rest of the dough, I cut out round pieces, and cut the meat balls in half ... and we got wonderful dumplings ...

[Lena]

Lena! This is a photo session! Well, cool! ... Everything in detail is beauty!

[Lena]

Lena! This is a photo session! Well, cool! ... Everything in detail is beauty!

[Elena]

Elena, Helen, thank you very much for such a wonderful report! It is already clear that the weight of one meatball from your mold is 5.23 grams. And the volume occupied is already clear by weight. You see, you have learned in practice that it is much better to work with half-thawed meatballs. Or maybe a hernia of dumplings will also be cured by lengthening the legs? Do you have a dumplings-book for 48 dumplings, or am I wrong? Did you like it yourself? Didn't regret that you bought a silicone mold with half-balls for a dumpling maker?

Alya, to me, to YOU ​​!!! Yes, a book dumpling maker, I liked it ... I didn’t regret it ... I rarely use it on the tap, I like hand-made dumplings more ... But now having a silicone mold and after testing, I liked the third option and liked to sculpt by hand with these halves ...

[Helen]

Helen, Elena, well, that's great! : Friends: Now it remains to try to lengthen the legs, perhaps even more like it.

I write for everyone and especially for Olga VB, Olya, you need to roll the minced meat weighing 5 grams with your hands and try to put it in the cell of your dumplings (IDEA too), so you can find out in advance whether the volume from this form is suitable for your dumplings. Thanks again to ourHelen, Elena, for the fact that she weighed 10 meatballs for us from her new silicone mold, so that we can already try on the weight and volume of the meatballs for our dumplings.

A request to everyone who bought different silicone molds for dumplings, just like ours Helen, hang 10 meatballs and place a photo in the subject. So, knowing the weight of the meatball, it will be much easier for us to select forms for our various various dumplings.

Now it remains to try to lengthen the legs, perhaps even more like it.

Alya, why lengthen the legs !?

[Creamy]

Creamy Ala, look at this link the shape, there are pink balls 1.7 in diameter, and the shape itself is 12 by 24, 40 balls

This is a wholesale with a description

And here retail looks like

The links are the same ...

Len, here's a retail like

Teenra 1 Pcs. 40 cavity silicone ice cube mini ice ball maker silicone ice cube trays mold sphere ice mold maker mold

Alya, why lengthen the legs !?

We lengthen the legs in the case when you have to put a lot of filling into the cells of the dumplings, and the height of the legs is not enough, the stuffed dumpling with its belly rests on the table, so the dumplings have a hernia. I lengthened my legs for my 19-seat dumpling maker, wrapping them with medical adhesive plaster.

Olga, I got a form ...

Lenka, an infection! Sole woman! I was ignored, like, the goose is not a pig's friend, I don't take a company with you, I don’t want to combine parcels, be-be-be, right? Is that you?
All! I'm leaving you for a monastery!
Toka, first you tell me this:
Where did I order
Dap pieces
Time for delivery is gone (quickly, I see, they arrived)
What is the diameter and depth of the hemispheres (if possible, take a large picture with a ruler)
Do you have an IDEA? Can you compare the size of the cells with your own, with which you experimented? Or take a big picture of yours with a ruler.
Will you do it? In the meantime, I'll think about what else to command

Alenka, you probably both have dumplings, will you also look at the sizes of the cells?

I understood ... yes, if so, but it is necessary ... there are big dumplings ... but here, I think, it is not necessary ... from the photo you can see, I took a photo upside down, I have enough minced meat, in dumplings ..

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, Olya, I do not understand something, what size of cells should I see? What to watch then?

Lenka, an infection! Sole woman! I was ignored, like, the goose is not a pig's friend, I don't take a company with you, I don't want to unite the parcels, be-be-be, right? Is that you?

Dap questions !!!!!!!!!
Ol, I tell:
I ordered even earlier than you threw a cry ... I just still wanted, with you in the company ... but decided to wait for mine ... so it waited ... and it is a little different, as you showed ... see the link my ... DON'T GO TO THE MONASTERY !!!

[Helen]

Helen, class means you need to order this!

[Helen]

Helen, Helen, did I understand correctly that your silicone mold is not a hemisphere?
CreamyAlevtina, in your opinion, this form is not better

that you have a silicone form, not a hemisphere?

no!

what sizes of cells should I see? What to watch then?

This luminous one, like Lenuska's on the photos and IDEA.

I ordered even earlier than you threw a cry ... I just still wanted, with you in the company ... but decided to wait for mine ... so it waited ... and it is a little different, as you showed ...

Yes? Okay, then I forgive!
Yeah, I looked. It turns out that if your cells are a little too big and the dough is cut through, if the spheres are frozen, then should the size be good according to my reference? Of course, if this is your dumplings with the same cells as IDEA.
But you have plump washers, and there are clearly hemispheres. No matter how little meat is

class means you need to order this!

I wonder: she tears the dough, if it is not defrosted a bit.
And this is not always convenient. For example, bulmen can flow.

[Evgeniya]

Evgeniya, Evgeniya, according to your link, I really liked the hemisphere shapes precisely for their correct hemisphere. But this is purely outwardly, and how it will be in reality, only experience will show. I would like to know the weight of the hemisphere from this form.

I wonder: she tears the dough, if you don't defrost it a bit.
And this is not always convenient. For example, bulmen can flow.

what is it, you manage ... so don't make frozen ones ... take them out of the refrigerator, put them on a board ... and while you roll the dough ... and the balls thaw out ... but otherwise everything is fine ...

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, Olga, I no longer have such a luminous dumpling-book. But you have an IDEA. Ol what to watch?

what to watch?

I wanted to compare the sizes of the cells of these two dumplings in order to understand - if the hemispheres are a little too big for a "book", then will they be good for IDEA, or also large, or small
Those. cells wanted to compare in one and the other.

But you have an IDEA.

There is. But there is no book
I thought you had both.

And enough of twisting me already, or am I still not all relatives?

[Olga VB]

I would like to know the weight of the hemisphere from this form.

Alevtina, in the original forms of Silikomart hemisphere dimensions: diameter 26, height 14.75 mm, volume 5 ml, pebble: diameter 26, height 13 mm, volume 5 ml. I believe that the weight of the hemisphere will be the same as Helen's. If only the Chinese respected the dimensions




Olga VB, Olya, I have a book. What to measure?

But there is no book

2.7cm diameter

Oh, you know for sure whether it fits or not only by experience. And the Chinese have no faith, different sellers have different sizes for the same shape. Here are these simple comrades, these Chinese, you think 1-2 mm back and forth. But the manufacturer of these silicone molds has the exact dimensions in the documents. But what to say about the Chinese, almost everywhere even eminent manufacturers of tableware and confectionery molds do not indicate the working volume of their cupcakes, bowls, pans, the attitude towards women as illiterate cooks in the master's kitchen. You buy a mold and begin to fill the mold with water on the scales in order to calculate the volume by weight. And then on the inner door of the kitchen cabinet you make up a table for yourself with the weight of empty containers and the working volume of your all kinds of shapes, bowls, bowls and basins.

I have a book. What to measure?

Zhenya, take a picture, if possible, large with a ruler, the size of the cell and, most importantly, the holes in it. I want to compare with IDEA.
And then our Lena quieted down. Looks like dumplings are chewing

Olya, the hole diameter is 2.7 cm. Tomorrow I will take measurements with a caliper and take a picture.

Tomorrow I will take measurements with a caliper and take a picture

Our person! Yes, Alyona?

Olga, can Irina Kara have this silicone mold with hemispheres?

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, Olya, exactly our man!

[about]

Can Irina Kara have this half-sphere silicone mold?

Of those hemispheres that I saw on her gorgeous desserts, everything is real.aboutlarger diameter. But, of course, you can ask.
