String Hopper Machine and Trays

This string hopper machine and trays set has everything you need to make string hoppers at home. Also, it comes with a mahogany wood press and 10 cane trays. In Sri Lanka, people also call it an idiyappam machine or a string hopper maker.

What is in the string hopper machine and trays set

First, you get one carved mahogany wood string hopper machine. Then, you get 10 string hopper trays made from cane. So you can steam many string hoppers at one time.

Made from mahogany wood and cane

Skilled Sri Lankan craftsmen make the machine by hand using many cutting tools. They carve the mahogany wood and keep its natural colour and texture. They weave the trays from cane in the traditional Sri Lankan style. As a result, the holes in the trays let the steam pass evenly.

How to use the string hopper machine and trays

First, press the string hopper dough through the machine onto a tray. Then, place the trays in a steamer. Steam them until the string hoppers are soft and tasty. For example, you can serve them with curry, sambol and coconut milk.

Eco friendly and non-toxic

This string hopper maker set is eco friendly and non-toxic. So you can replace plastic presses and trays with natural ones. Also, you support skilled Sri Lankan craftsmen when you buy it.

Easy care for your string hopper machine and trays

Wash the machine and trays by hand with warm water. Then dry them well in the sun. Also, please keep the set dry after use.
