Does anyone know a quick and easy way to fill caneloni tubes other than putting the mixture in with a teaspoon

Answer 1

Put the mixture into a ziplock type food storage bag and cut one of the botton corners off and squeeze it in. Cheap and easy.

Answer 2

Use softened lasagne leaves, spread the mixture on and roll up. Place overlap side down in your gratin dish. Alternatively use an icing bag with a large nozzle.

Answer 3

Use a cake decorating bag, or a piping bag fitted with the widest nozzle you have. Be sure to squeeze from the end, otherwise your filling will squirt out of the bag.

Answer 4

this might sound silly but it works!
i like my cannelloni filled wit salsa bolognese!so,i prepare the sauce a day before & freeze it in a 1 inch high container! next day when am ready to do the fillin, i get the frozen mixture out & cut it in slices the width of the cannelloni!its,easier,less messier & it will all defrost & bake well in the oven!give it a try & let me know...

Answer 5

do you have a pastry bag??? or you can put your filling in a ziplock bag and cut a whole in the corner and carefully sqeeze into tubes. Or make triangles with some parchment paper...

Answer 6

A bag that holds frosting, used to decorate cakes would work just fine & would be a lot faster. I'm not sure where they can be purchased but try Wal*Mart, etc.

Answer 7

The instrument that is used to ice cakes with a wide opening is great for something like this. Buen provecho!

Answer 8

Use a piping bag with a wide nozzle. Or a Wide spouted funnel.

Answer 9

I would use a piping bag with a large nozzle x

Answer 10
