Ateco 11-Piece Graduated Round Cookie Cutter Set

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.

I got this cutter for my baking class (culinary school). It's great for a students' budget (compared to the plastic ones made in France that costs five times as much) but the downside is it will rust (the cutter and the inside of the tin) if one does not properly clean/dry it. Mine does not have the size markings on the actual cutters so I had to measure mine before using it (for very picky chef instructors!). Just take good care if it and it will treat us well!

Nice sharp edges, plenty of variation in size. I'd replace them with the same product if I lost them. Dropped a star because the sizes aren't stamped on each cutter. Not that I don't have a ruler, but it would have been more convenient when a recipe calls for a specific diameter to be cut. :)

This is great set. The 11 cutters are conveniently stored in a little tin. They can not only be used as cookie cutters, but also as a ring mold for wonderful plate presentations (providing you don't need lots of height), and a friend recently used them to cut off the crusts of cocktail pumpernickel bread for tea sandwiches. The smaller cutters can be used to cut holes in the sugar cookie dough of larger cookies. If you bake half with and half without the hole in the middle, you can add raspberry jam to the ones without holes, sprinkle powdered sugar on the ones with holes, and combine the two. I too hand wash mine.

I'll be honest. I don't make cookie cutter cookies more than once a decade, but Alton Brown uses a similar style and if it's good enough for Alton...

The real reason I got them was so I could keep my eggs from running when I'm making the weekend sandwiches my fiance and I love so much. They worked wonderfully, providing I remembered to spray them with Pam first, otherwise we had some sticking issues.

I'm sure I'll use them on actual dough soon enough and I've no doubt they'll work wonderfully. I gave them four stars because they're a bit thin (for good reason, I'm sure) so I worry they'll bend if I handle them too roughly.
