Abstract
A press for forming and cutting filled dough products such as dumplings and ravioli has two parts which are hinged together at one end and have handles at the other ends. The parts which are hinged together each have enlarged portions with a cavity in each fitting a like cavity in the other with cooperating cutting surfaces surrounding a major portion of each cavity for cutting a filled dough product positioned in the cavity. Each cavity opens to the rear of said enlarged portions adjacent the hinges and thus provides an opening from the cooperating cavities when said press is closed, permitting expansion of the dough product without bursting during formation thereof.
