So I got this grape leave stuffer yesterday, and tried it out today.
Basic Use:
-Place leaf on device
-Make a well by pushing leaf into the the depression
-Put stuffing in well ( dont overfill)
-Roll by sliding the moveable piece
Pros:
- Relatively easy to use ( although there is a slight learning curve)
- Rolls are relatively tightly packed
- Rolls are uniform in size and shape ( for the most part)
- Possibly good for people with limited dexterity
Cons:
- Rolls are smaller than hand rolled
- Less filling inside these rolls than hand stuffed ( part of the learning curve)
- Not any quicker than hand rolling
Learning curve:
- Leaf selection ( a leave that is more solid is better than one with a lot of indents )
(the less it looks like a Maple leaf shape, the better)
- Placement of leaf (Roll towards the stem)
- Amount of filling ( Not too much , or it doesn't roll properly)
All in all, Id give it a B+
Not a must have , a one trick pony, but for 10$, so far its worth it
I think kids would get a kick out of using it ( big plus, although my kids are in their 20's)
Will I use it again, yeah probably
Will it hold up over time? Maybe , not the most sturdiest device.
