"The dessert-decorating gadget features a cylindrical body that you usually load with sugary frosting which is then distributed evenly through a piping tip by simply pressing down on a trigger. While these tools are typically used for sweet preparations, they aren't limited to icing. Custards, buttercream, and fruity fillings can also be stuffed into the icing gun, so why not a cheesy ricotta filling?"
"As if you needed more reasons to stuff shells with an icing gun, the tool is also easy to fill and clean. And it's reusable, unlike flimsy plastic piping bags. Nearly any kitchen supply store or online retailer will carry icing guns that come with a variety of differently shaped tips (like JAYVAR's Dessert Decorating Set from Amazon) to better fit the size of your pasta, as well as add extra finesse when stuffing."
"Stuffing pasta shells is no easy feat, whatever their size. The curved shape of the pasta can make them tough to fill, especially if you lack the proper tools. While a spoon might be the most tried and true method, it isn't always the cleanest technique - think ricotta-covered fingers and messy shells. Not to mention that it's pretty time-consuming."
Stuffing pasta shells is challenging because the curved shape makes them difficult to fill, and spoons can be messy and slow. An icing gun, also called an icing press or syringe, uses a cylindrical chamber and trigger to push filling evenly through a piping tip, enabling faster and neater stuffing. The tool accepts sweet and savory fillings including custards, buttercream, fruity mixtures, and ricotta-based fillings. Icing guns are easy to load, clean, and reusable, and many include interchangeable tips to match shell sizes and improve precision. Users should consider filling consistency because very thick mixtures may not pass through the device.
