After making the video I wondered why they got it so wrong.  I had a quick look at patents for donut mold tools and you can see that the one below has a part that comes below the hole when the plunger is pressed.  That made me wonder if this one was incorrectly assembled when it arrived.  So after pulling the centre out and unscrewing the end.   I reassembled it, pushed the plunger down, flipped the end piece upside down and screwed it on the outside of the gadget &#8211; now it is a shape that looks like it might just work.  This wish gadget needs to come correctly assembled OR come with instructions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/donut-gif.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"332\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-132676\" data-wp-pid=\"132676\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you bought one and want to try it out here is the recipe that I used for the thick batter:<br \/>\n4 cups flour<br \/>\n3\/4 cup sugar<br \/>\n2 eggs<br \/>\n2 cups milk<br \/>\n3\/4 cup oil<br \/>\n4 tsp baking powder<br \/>\n1 tsp vanilla<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/before-after.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"154\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-132678\" data-wp-pid=\"132678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/before-after.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/before-after-300x116.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dolmer Roller<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.45.45-am-550x324.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"324\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-132666\" data-wp-pid=\"132666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.45.45-am-550x324.png 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.45.45-am-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.45.45-am-768x452.png 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.45.45-am-1536x905.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.45.45-am-2048x1207.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.45.45-am-400x236.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><br \/>\nPositives:<br \/>\n* Rolls perfect, even sized grape leaf parcels<br \/>\n* easy to use<br \/>\nNegatives:<br \/>\n* none<br \/>\nMy overall rating: Clever<\/p>\n<p><strong>Microwave Potato Bag<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.46.50-am-550x312.png\" alt=\"microwave potato bag review\" width=\"550\" height=\"312\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-132669\" data-wp-pid=\"132669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.46.50-am-550x312.png 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.46.50-am-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.46.50-am-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.46.50-am-1536x871.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.46.50-am-2048x1161.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-11.46.50-am-400x227.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><br \/>\nPositives:<br \/>\n* cooks potatoes<br \/>\nNegatives:<br \/>\n* Has a fire danger on the bag, you can cook potatoes in the microwave in a bowl with a tiny bit of water at the bottom and a plate sitting on top.
