Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of VillaWare V5500 10-Square Ravioli Maker

Customer Review: Better products out there!
Summary: 2 Stars

I've bought two of these...the first one I had trouble using, so I gave it to Goodwill. Someone recommended it again, so I thought maybe I was just using it incorrectly. Still same problems.

My main problem is that the plastic press that makes the indentations and the metal frame have somewhat sharp edges, and I've had problems with it cutting into the dough and creating a weak spot that opens during cooking. The pasta dough isn't generally flexible enough to adapt to the sharp corners and shape of the plastic press plate. I heard that adding egg makes the dough more pliable, and also used semolina flour. I've been trying to make whole wheat pasta and have finally perfected a recipe. It works okay with this frame, but I still think the design is not the best.

I've also had a problem with overfilling that causes the ravioli to "mushroom" below the frame, which makes them difficult to remove.

I just purchased a different version that is a solid mold...there is no overfilling problem at all, and it works better than the Villaware V5500.

Ravioli Maker - 2"

Description of VillaWare V5500 10-Square Ravioli Maker

Fill, cut and seal perfect ravioli every time. The fastest and most efficient way to make ravioli at home. Includes a second plate for forming pockets quickly. 2 1/2" square, 10 at a time.
Just call it "Ravioli-Making for Dummies." I certainly qualify, having admired but never attempted this tricky-looking Italian entr?e. Yet within half an hour, I had made and rolled out a sheet of pasta dough (the recipe is in the kit); laid it over the metal ravioli mold; used the plastic mold to indent the dough; filled the indentations with a three-cheese mixture (recipe also in the kit); laid a second pasta sheet on top; and rolled over it with the rolling pin to seal the dough casings. I turned the metal mold over, and out plopped 10 perfect, plump ravioli, which tasted delicious after several minutes of boiling. --Leah Kohlenberg
