The Totem Arancinotto - What is it?

The Totem is a semi-automatic machine for the production of sicilian arancini, supplì and potato croquettes.


This is a manual machine designed to optimize the use of the "Arancinotto" (the mold) without using motors or other electrical elements.

The totem was designed with the express purpose of facilitating small and medium-sized workshops in the production of typical Sicilian arancini guaranteeing:

  • Possibility to install different molds to achieve many shapes and weights (NOT PRO or SLIM molds);
  • It reduces to the minimum the effort of the user;
  • High quality arancino, with rice grain always intact;
  • Easy to use;

The materials used are stainless steel, a high-strength plastic material suitable for contact with foodstuffs. Designed and built in Sicily.

Designed to adapt to your needs

The Totem adapts to your needs thanks to the molds made specifically for it. Whatever the weight and shape of the arancino you want to make, the Totem is always the same.

To make different arancini is possible to install a large variety of totem molds (see photo) simply by screwing them to the Totem. 
A Totem's Mold is composed of: one basis, a ring, one long plunger and one short plunger .

These molds must be purchased separately and are different from the classic PRO and SLIM molds.

Can I use the Totem's molds by hand?

Yes, you can.

You can use the Totem's Molds without the Totem itself. To do it,  you can use these handles, and screw them to the molds.

These handles are UNIVERSAL, as you can use them with any mold of the Totem, regardless of the shape and weight of the arancino.
