At this time, it is preferable that the dropped tool is pushed down a little to enter the recess 8 slightly. Since the inner surfaces of the measuring portions 28 and 29 of the measuring spoon 17 are embossed, the tool can be easily dropped. Next, the presser member 19 is reversed by placing a finger on the finger-addressed portion 23 of the presser member 19. At this time, since the end portion of the finger-addressed portion 12 of the main body 1 is bent obliquely downward, there is a gap between this end portion and the end portion of the finger-addressed portion 23 of the pressing member 19 so that the finger can be easily applied. . After the pressing member 19 is inverted, the finger-addressed portion 13 of the main body 1 and the finger-addressed portion 23 of the pressing member 19 are sandwiched between two fingers and pressed. At this time, since the end portion of the finger-addressed portion 13 of the main body 1 is bent obliquely downward, the finger catches well and the finger does not slip. Since the portion surrounded by the pleat forming portion 22 of the forming portion 20 of the presser member 19 is the flat portion 21, when the tool is evenly distributed in the recess 8 and the dumpling is formed, one side is made flat. Mold. Therefore, when dumplings are baked, they can be cooked evenly if they are baked with the flat side of the dumplings facing down. Moreover, the inner surface near the boundary part 14 of the recesses 7 and 8 of the molding parts 3 and 4 is formed in the flat part 43 (the other is not shown). Therefore, a flat surface is formed on the dumplings by the flat portion 43. That is, since the formed dumpling has two planes, when the dumpling is baked, the cooker can freely select which plane is to be baked downward according to his / her preference.
