Hand baking smaller prillas

[DanielO]

How do I hand bake a smaller prilla? I only know how to make larger ones. Something the diameter of what a 3ml icetool makes is what I'm after.

Just grab an appropriate amount of snus and put it in your hand; then form it in to a prilla.

Use less snus? :^P

I take a pinch out of the tin, and while holding it, half-assed form it with the thumb and forefinger of my other hand. It doesn't look pretty, just mashed together, but when I have the size I want, I toss it in my mouth, and place it with my tongue. If you have an IceTool, shoot a pris into your hand, and work with that. That'll give you an idea of how much tobacco to use. It's probably less than you think.

Just pinch with your fingers and put it in your mouth. Only little boys and girls actually hand-bake prillas.

Bake a big one and then take pinches off it until it's the right size. I often have to take a bit off after I bake to get the perfect size.

[WickedKitchen]

To really get it right you should probably use a milligram scale.

The manliest of snusers here in Sweden bake the prilla. They just do it in the can as they are pinching.

That's how I learned to measure snus with my fingers. Coming from American dip my fingers were trained to grab way too much.
