Shoppers are flocking to their nearest Kmart stores to get their hands on the retailer’s dumpling presses ($1.75).
Dumpling presses are easy to operate and can be used with homemade or store-bought dough.
They are also available in several colors, including blue, pink, green, and gray.
Many have already started praising this handy kitchen tool, with some sharing that they can also be used for other foods like cakes, cheese puffs, agnolotti, and more.
“The grandkids loved making mini cheese puffs with the presses,” one woman shared.
“This really takes all the hassle out of making dumplings,” another revealed.
“Absolutely fantastic, makes the whole process less tedious,” said one.
One mother also shared that her daughter loved helping her make dumplings so much that she asked for her own press.
