Why the shutters of some encrusting and forming machines cannot form products?
There are a lot of encrusting and forming machines in the market. They may look the same but are uneven in quality.

Even though all machine parts are made as same as ANKO's machine, they cannot figure out those problems. The secret is the speed of shutter opening and closing as well as the design of its material and action.

Kubba is derived from the Classic Arabic word "kubbah", meaning "ball". The egg-like food is made with fine bulgur wheat, chopped onions, ground meat, and Middle Eastern spices. Kubba is a popular dish in the Middle East; however, there are many variations in different countries, such as kubba with tomato soup, kubba with cream & cheese, and rice- or potato-made kubba. Every mom has her own homemade kubba with secret ingredients that many travelers miss the most.
