Question 1

What is it made of?

Accepted Answer

It seems to be formed aluminum for the base and polystyrene for the press former.  I have 3 of them and have made more than 800 pierogies over the past 3 years, so they are sturdy.

Question 2

Why do these turn all black and greasy and the chroming come off in the dish washer?  I bought one and looking here at the one star reviews its a comm

Accepted Answer

Why put it in the dishwasher?  It isn't that dirty. Just use a quick brush, a little soap and you are done. I believe the black comes from the clash between the dishwasher liquid and the aluminum.  I don't use grease on my periogie maker, just dust with flour when I am laying out the dough.  No problems at all. Elizabety

Question 3

what size do these make? 4" diameter?

Accepted Answer

The pierogi is about 4" each.  You get 2 pierogi's per round circle, 6 per tray.  It really is a good product and making pierogi's is much easier and they are very uniformed in shape and makes for even cooking.

Question 4

how do I use the metal and plastic pieces?

Accepted Answer

The internet is full of answers and the box has instructions...but since you asked here you go:  roll out your dough, lay it over the metal piece. Line up the plastic piece over the now covered metal piece and use the plastic piece to push pockets into the dough you just placed over the metal piece. Now you have a place to add your fillings. Now roll out a second piece of dough and lay it over the first piece of dough that now has filling in all 6 pockets.  Now that it is covered, take your rolling pin and roll over the now covered metal piece.  Press firmly enough to allow the rolling pin to push against the metal piece and both crimp and cut out the dumplings/pierogi. Remove the trimmed excess dough from the metal piece and you should now have 6 dumplings with filling.
