Ateco Cookie Cutter Sets Review

Ateco Cookie Cutter Sets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Over the years, I've collected lots of cookie cutters. I keep most of them in a plastic storage box in my pantry because I try to keep my kitchen drawers from getting too cluttered. However, I do keep some of my sets of Ateco boxed cutters in a drawer because their storage cans are small and compact, and I use them a lot. Ateco is a quality manufacturer of baking accessories. I own several of their products: a revolving round metal cake stand; a large pastry decorating set, including icing bags and tips; and baking spatulas.
The Ateco line of boxed cutter sets includes cookie cutters with holiday and seasonal designs; a bridge set; sets with hearts, stars, animals, toy shapes, alphabet letters, gingerbread families; mini cookie cutters; dog bone biscuit cutters; pie cutters; aspic or jelly cutters; and biscuit/pastry cutters - some come in boxes, and others come in storage cans, like this one. This set has 11 plain round stainless steel cutters in graduated shapes, from 3/4 inch to 3 5/8 inches. They nest perfectly in their storage can, which has a tight lid so the cutters don't spill out into the drawer.
I only use a few of these round cutters on a regular basis though. I find that most of the cutters are too small for anything other than specialty baking. Although Ateco says that their cutters are dishwasher-safe, I hand wash mine because I've found that the dishwasher doesn't always get them clean.

WOW! This cool tool makes converting recipes, whether downsizing or cooking for a huge crew, a breeze - it does all the converting for you! The directions are pretty simple, though I keep my user's guide handy for a refresher from time to time. The protective keypad cover is a must in the kitchen, keeping it clean. I love the tilting display, the ease of use, and this cuts out the headache and pencil & paper converting to about a minute! It even has a "pinch" and "dash", oC & oF, metric and English measurement choices. All it takes is just a few entries and the calculator does all the hard work. It couldn't be any easier! My kids love it also! I don't use the duo timer very often, but am glad it's there.

If you are a busy cook, or even slightly mathematically challenged, you'll love this device. It allows you to scale recipes up or down, easily calculating increases and decreases in portions. If you have a European cookbook or two, it cuts through all that metric confusion - coverting weights and measures quickly in fractions or decimals. Enter and convert between teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces, pints, millileters, even dashes and pinches! Finally it's a digital timer that will keep track of elapsed time even while you perform other calculations.
