Tortillada – Large Empanada Maker Mold Kit (15.5 cm) / Set of 7 Pieces incl. Recipe Book, Ceramic Dip Bowls, Cookie Cutter, Knife

Simple to use and perfect results

I have used this but not as often as I thought I would. I think the pastry I use springs back after rolling and using the cutter. I go through phases and in a few months I will fall back in love. The recipe book though is fab, so many inspiring ideas

Will try it but it looks good and the book will help

I like the empanada maker but inexplicably you get two the same size - I'd have preferred two of different sizes. I struggle to envisage the industrial levels of empanada making you would do given you've bought an empanada starter kit - one imagines, like me, because you had some on holiday and fancied giving them a go.The disc cutter is too small. It's 0.5cm bigger in diameter than the mould but when it sits in the dip for the filling it's approx the same size as the 'machine.' This means that sometimes you open it up and it's barely sealed, sometimes it's not. Invariably I had to folk the edges rather than the neatness / satisfaction of the in-built crimping pattern. I have to find a 17cm cutter, these come in sets and don't look cheap.The recipe book doesn't actually include a recipe for the dough. Loads of other recipes but I still had to go on line to find out how to make the empanadas.. The "knife" is neither use nor ornament. I have no use for the bowls.I really enjoyed making empanadas, everyone loved the Hairy Biker's recipe. Not sure you need to buy a kit. It's mildly irritating that the makers haven't considered the above given who is likely to buy this.

Does what it says

I visit a restaurant in Spain where they offer 15 choices of empanadas and always wanted to do them myself. This is a really good if you like empanadas. The cutter works perfectly and they can be gently eased out of it from from the hinged end. The recipe book is very good but most are for 12 empanadas so you need to scale down. Used them with ready made pastry sheets and just perfect for the job.

I thought this looked like something I could use. But everything stuck. I even greased them first. Not for me

A nice little gift set for someone
