Ravioli Trays

Ravioli Trays June 30, 2004 12:28AM |
I have just purchased a ravioli tray. It is designed so that you lay your pasta on the bottom, fill it ,then place another pasta sheet over the top. You then get a rolling pin and roll over the top to seal, however it does not cut the ravioli into parcels very well. Is there a special knack, or tool that I should be using??? The rolling pin just does not cut the mustard..... or the ravioli

Thnx to those of you who replied. Its a shame really - I paid $40 for the tray from a very reputable kitchen store in WLG. I rarely buy kitchen gadgets, and like to think that my purchases are well thought through - I might pop back to the store and get their opinion. The ravioli did tase good despite the messy experience. If you have any favourtite ravioli recipes to share let me know....

Trish,
If you've still got the receipt you should take it back to the shop, explain the problem and ask for a credit note or your money back. Unless it explictly says on the instructions that you have to cut the parcels with a knife, surely one of the main purposes of the tray is to cut the separate ravioli?
If it doesn't do that adequately then it isn't fulfilling the Consumer Guarantees Act - it is not fit for its purpose and it it is not of acceptable quality. If the shop is reluctant then ask them to show you the correct way to use it so that it cuts the ravioli (although it doesn't sound like it will, from others' comments!)
You can then use the $40 towards another ravioli gadget that actually works!
I would have thought that a reputable kitchen shop selling something like that for $40 would have tested it first to see how useful it is and to be able to explain the benefits to their customers.

My Italian mother-in-law was the best ravioli maker ever, and she used a cutter that was a little fluted wheel on a handle. Sort of like a little pizza cutter I suppose. Unfortunately, I never took the time to really have a lesson. We never realise at the time how much we are going to regret something we did or didn't do, do we?

I copied both of these down from a programme on Discovery channel (Biba's Italian Kitchen) and haven't gotten around to trying them...
Fish Ravioli
--------------
3 tbsp butter
750 grams white fish
2 slices white bread
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp parsley -- chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg
Melt butter and saute fish. Soak bread in cream. Place fish, bread and all other ingredients into a food processor and pulse gently. The mixture should be granular, not a paste. Refrigerate until firm and then use to prepare ravioli.
Eggplant Ravioli
--------------------
1 large eggplant
2 cloves garlic -- crushed
7 basil leaves
1/2 cup parsley
250 grams ricotta cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Slice eggplant and sprinkle with salt. Leave to drain, then saute 6 - 7 minutes. Add garlic. Combine with other ingredients in a food processor.

I've got a ravioli gadget that fits on my pasta machine - you roll 2 sheets of pasta through it at the same time as the filling!! You can imagine why I don't bother with it at all now and just do it Jamies way and the uneven "peasant look is much more appealing especially in a big bowl. And round ones are real easy with scone cutters.
