Make them from aluminum, the most part of modern models has the thinnest layer preventing sticking of the test to surface. Simpler metal pelmeni molds need to be powdered with flour. By means of such adaptation it is possible to make 30-40 pelmeshka of identical form (hexagon or circle) for time. Hostesses love this option for their form – more convenient to roll round layers of the test.
The principle of molding by means of metal and plastic pelmeni molds is identical – in deepenings on the first layer of dough forcemeat gives all the best, it is covered with the second layer and vigorously rolls out rolling pin.

As for mechanical, they represent similarity of manual extraction on ancient washing machines – that is the handle which rotation sets two drums in motion. Dumplings at the same time turn out similar to flat ravioli with carved edges.
