Vegetable Water Squeezer for Dumpling Filling

Yes. A colander lets water drip out, but the greens sit loose and stay wet. This press compresses them with the lever, so more water leaves the leaves in a few seconds. You also skip the separate colander and the towel.

Yes, with small batches. Cabbage holds a lot of water, so press a handful at a time and empty the bowl between rounds. Dense cabbage takes a little more effort than spinach to press fully dry, but the lever does the work.

The body is one molded piece of plastic with a hinge and pivot knob, and the flat disc is part of the lever arm. It is built for hand pressure on vegetables. Press steadily instead of forcing it.

Think about the time. Wringing a big batch of spinach in a towel is slow, leaves your hands wet and is hard on the wrists. One press does the same job in seconds and keeps the sink clean. If you make dumplings every few weeks, the minutes saved on each batch add up.

Yes. Spinach and chives are the easiest greens to press, and the press works well for stuffed vegetable fillings. If you prep a lot of produce, a manual vegetable chopper pairs well with it.
