Meatball Maker & Stacking Storage Tray System - Kitchen Professional - 32 Meatball Product

This is excellent for making nice even sized meatballs. BUT after I coat the meatball trays with vegetable oil I load them and freeze them. After they are partially or totally frozen I unload them, very easily. If overloaded with a lot of mixture on the sides, the meatballs will fuse together resulting in difficulty in separating. If you want to unload without freezing, it would depend how tight or loose the mixture is. I have not tried this yet. For my purpose of freezing while loaded, this is excellent.

I tried this several times and gave up. There is no way to make perfect meatballs unless you do it manually. They fell apart so I donated it to a church for their flea market. I should have known better but I was too impulsive when I bought it thinking I would be taking the easy way out. Since I'm Italian I have made thousands of meatballs in my life! This was not the way to go, they were too small, fell apart when cooked and then I had to wash this contraption. Sure it was fast but it the long run definitely not worth it. Save your money and do it the old fashioned way.

I bought this on a whim. I was planning to make ground chicken meatballs, and I hate the drudgery of rolling each meatball by hand. Initially I was going to buy a scoop, but that still required a lot of rolling to get the spherical shape for each meatball. When I saw this, I decided to give it a try even though I felt skeptical about whether it would really work. On my first attempt, I didn't have quite enough of the meat mixture in each mold. I took the cover off and added more meat and got nice round meatballs on my second try. Removing the raw meatballs from the mold isn't quite as easy as they make it sound, but it's still far superior to rolling the meatballs by hand.

I used this to make a very large batch of around 5.5 - 6 lbs of meatballs. It made just over 5 batches of 16 ending up with 81 meatballs in this size. They are a good size. The product was easy to use, comes with clear instructions and pictures. My only real complaint is they do get stuck in the mold after you press them. I thought my mixture might be to warm so I put it in the fridge to firm up but that didn't help either. So I finally gave it a light spray with avocado oil (sprayed but top and bottom) and that helped a lot, they released right away. I only had to spray lightly once, I didn't need to spray all five batches. Overall it was a huge help. I definitely recommend this if you make large batches or if you have trouble with portioning and rolling.

Complete waste. Spent more time cleaning it than what we spent trying to follow the directions. Meat does not fill little cups completely. You’ll have air pockets. Easier and quicker to just scoop meatballs.

I make different kinds of meatballs at least once a week. Italian, taco, meatloaf, General Tso's, etc. This product takes all the work out of making round meatballs. Although there are a couple of steps to the process, once you do it a time or two it's easy, and the meatballs come out intact without much effort. I made 36 meatballs in about 5 minutes. Huge time saver for me!

not an easy tool to work with

The media could not be loaded. It makes 32 meatballs at a time. It is simple to use and works great when directions are followed. Easily make uniformed-sized meatballs! Perfect size for whatever dish you make. It also can be stuffed with cheese and rolled in breading to fry - like mozzarella bites!Freezer friendly too
