Using this Fox Run 55443 ravioli cutter is super easy. First, lay out your pasta sheet on a flat surface. Then, hold the cutter by its wooden handle and press it down firmly on the pasta to cut out 1.6 x 1.6 inches ravioli shapes. After cutting, you can add your favorite fillings and seal the raviolis. When it comes to maintenance, always remember to wash it by hand only. Don't put it in the dishwasher as it may damage the wooden handle or the stainless - steel blade. After washing, dry it thoroughly to prevent rusting and keep it in a dry place for future use.
