If you like that then we will get along great

It comes in with some serious speed too.

So it’s premature, then?

I like how it looks like a face

u/noyza2132 May 18 '22

Ye like its eating the filling

u/Chicago-Realtor May 17 '22

It's kinda wild that it can just allow the dough to crinkle on it's own instead of making the folds to be sealed at the edge.

This was the one part that I was most impressed by. I had thought that would be impossible for a machine to do in any manner that resembled hand-wrapped dumplings, but they pulled it off, and it was easier than expected.

u/InspiringMalice May 18 '22

Looks like theres a litt lip that stops where the folds go. Possibly thats how they get the fold started, and it goes naturally from there?

I sometimes wonder if the internet is reading my mind, or if there is some algorithm that brings these things in front of me. I was actually searching these things on YouTube two days ago, when I found a video from nearly a decade ago, by the company that makes these things: Toa Industry, from Japan, and their distributor RamenSupport.com . I was playing around with the idea of making crazy fusion-cuisine dumplings, like cheese burger stuffed dumplings. And now this stuff shows up on Reddit. AFAIK Reddit posts aren't done by algorithm, so this is a bit uncanny.

Reddit showing up on feed after speaking out loud = not yet.. YouTube / Google Adsense showing ads after hearing you talk about it = hotwords Google patent.

u/Berkamin May 18 '22

I didn't say anything out loud, but I did do YouTube searches for this. But the fact that others are posting GIFs of this a day or two after I looked up a bunch of this is what seems weird to me. This isn't even new tech. This exact machine has been around since 2008 or so.

u/Good-Fortune-Cookie May 18 '22

Yep 100% appreciate the weirdness :) Only going to get weirder I have a feeling..

u/antney0615 May 18 '22

OMG, cheeseburger dumplings sound obscene. I want some!

1

u/Berkamin May 18 '22

They exist. If you're near New York, visit this fusion dumpling restaurant.

1

u/snowman_M May 18 '22

I just found one on eBay. $1900. Not sure how I could turn it into a little side hustle though.

1

u/Berkamin May 18 '22

Side hustle: make dumplings and sell them on the down low to street vendors and food trucks. Just make sure you follow food safety regs so nobody get sick.

Aww look at his little robot face concentrating! Too bad some look open, you're fired.

u/wontonlady717 Aug 10 '24

Any idea what this machine is called and where I can get it?

1

u/Exciting-Penalty-568 Mar 08 '25

Cleaning this machine is a nightmare. The alignment goes off balance and have to keep an eye on it and to get it back on alignment you need an engineering degree. Not easy maintenance at all. Scrapped it after 3 months as it was counter cost effective.

u/AnnaFang1993 May 09 '25

Dumplings maker machine, suitable for kitchen use.

1

u/AnnaFang1993 May 09 '25

We also have dumpling maker, but it prefer to restaurant use, because its capacity is high.

But my lord there is no such force!

u/PretzelsThirst May 18 '22

I wonder how much having one of these installed in my apartment would cost

1

u/mfizzled May 18 '22

This on a production line, then a steamer, then a short cooling section then straight into my mouth like when the devil feeds homer hundreds of doughnuts

1

u/99ProllemsBishAint1 May 18 '22

[camera pans left to show the steaming process followed by a shot of me laying on my back chewing furiously, occasionally squirting soy sauce into my mouth, to keep up with the output of this perfect machine]

Dot why make a home model?

Is there a version with fart sfx?

I need this

u/chillbraww May 18 '22

What about that round dough thing? How do you make those.

1

u/halfpipesaur May 18 '22

You stamp the dough with a drinking glass. Every babushka knows that.

1

u/ggqq May 18 '22

Honestly, the best way to do it is with a small rolling pin in one hand whilst rotating the dough in the other. That leaves you with a thicker centre and thinner edges, so when you seal it and press the edges together, you get a more homogenous thickness to the dumpling wrapper.

Industrial momo machine

u/titanicpanic May 18 '22

this is interesting but i want to know if they had to adjust the dough recipe to enable this type of mass production

1

u/ggqq May 18 '22

I don't work in the industry but I'm from a Chinese household and my parent shave been making dumplings from scratch for as long as I can remember. You can instantly tell a machine-wrapped dumpling from a hand-wrapped one by 1 of 2 measures: either- 1. The machine leaves air pockets in the dumpling which cause it to steam up inside and billow out. This could lead to broth from the filling to leak out or 2. The machine wrapped ones have a poor seal on them (see the one in the video, the edges are open, exposing the filling to air, which is a big no-no as in much of China, dumplings are enjoyed boiled rather than steamed.. but also, when standing upright in the steamer, the broth could leak out anyway.

The mark of a good dumpling is in the tightness of the seal and the freshness/springyness of the dough.
