   Easy to use and clean. makes nice size raviolli. Get a cheap wooden roller to help with the final sealing and cutting.

2. A useful gadget

   The Norpro ravioli maker is easy to use, and I love it because it's a non-electric gadget that works well, if you know how to use it properly. I found that it's important to lightly flour the surface of it before each pasta cutting, and it may be necessary to use a sharp knife to completely sever the edges between raviolis. Ravioli is much easier to make than you might think, especially with this handy tool.

3. A No-Brainer way to Ravioli

   This is probably the easiest way to literally make as many ravioli as possible, only limited to as much pasta dough and filling you have, at an assembly-line pace.
   
   The very first time I used it I made 12 dozen ravioli in less that 30 minutes.
   
   The only caveat is to either sufficiently flour or spray oil onto the metal component.
   
   I highly recommend this to any and all.

4. Works Well but Do Not Put in Dishwasher

   The title says it all, the device works fine but one trip through the dishwasher and it will oxidize like you won't believe. After the first use, and one dishwashing, I scrubbed for half an hour to get the device to a state that did not transfer too much aluminum oxide off on my hands or the ravioli I was making. The product was $12, so I guess I should have figured the finish was not dishwasher safe but a warning would have been nice. At $12 it is not worth sending back, I'll just buy another and be more careful. If you do buy one of these sort of devices, a wooden rolling pin and some cooking spray are mandatory. Hand wash when you are done!!!

5. The press is great but......

   Maybe I'm a bit slow sometimes - I'm usually pretty quick to catch on to how things work but I have to admit this had me puzzled. It took watching a video on youtube to realize where I was goofing up.
   
   The press is AWESOME to use once you figure it out. The tan press with the "tubs"? You use that AFTER you've laid your rolled pasta on the metal piece. It's really obvious how it works but for some reason my brain couldn't make the instructions computer. Anyway, when you use it, make sure you dust the metal part with flour or the raviolis will tend to stick and also make sure your pasta sheets aren't tight on top of the press - give yourself a bit of extra or when you press the dough, it'll tear.
   
   Also I use a pizza roller like this one Norpro Deluxe Pastry & Pizza Roller that works really good, especially on the center horizontal and vertical cuts. A regular rolling pin works ok for the outside cuts but not as well on the inside.
   
   Plus, I've gotta figure out a way to keep the press from sliding all over the table when I'm trying to roll it out. Maybe some of those rubber "feet" things. It makes it difficult to make good raviolis when you're chasing the press all over the place.
