Hand-press mooncake mold (Lion)-2pcs
50g
This is a hand-press mooncake mold set, a pastry tool specifically designed for shaping traditional Chinese mooncakes, cookies, or green bean cakes. The set includes: • The Hand-Press Plunger: A spring-loaded mechanical barrel that creates even downward pressure to compress and shape dough. • Interchangeable Design Stamps: Two swappable plastic plates featuring a stylized Chinese Lion Dance head (Wusheng or Barongsai) pattern. These intricate textures imprint a traditional festive design directly onto the top of the pastry before baking. How it Works 1. Insert the plate: Slip a decorative design stamp into the bottom opening of the main barrel, smooth pattern side facing down, until it clicks or locks into place. 2. Load the dough: Roll your prepared dough into a uniform ball (and coat lightly with flour or cornstarch to prevent sticking). Place the ball inside the open barrel chamber. 3. Press to shape: Set the open bottom flat against a smooth baking sheet, then firmly push down on the top handle. The internal spring handles compression to compact the dough into shape. 4. Release: Pull the plunger back up or gently push it while lifting to cleanly pop out the beautifully patterned pastry, ready for the oven This specific version is a standard 50g capacity mold, which is the most popular size for delicate, bite-sized mooncakes and pastries. When using a 50g mold, a good rule of thumb is to portion your dough and filling so that each assembled ball weighs exactly 50 grams in total (for example, 20g of skin wrapper and 30g of filling) to prevent overflowing the barrel
