Pizza-wheel
cutter
Name of item :
Pizza-wheel Cutter
Function :
to cut pizza to smaller size and more easier to eat
Materials :
stainless steel & wood/plastic
How to clean :
using wet napkin
A
Pizza-Wheel Cutter is a rotating wheel blade with a handle meant for using in
cutting up a pizza into slices for serving.
The
wheel blades on them will be 3 to 4 inches (7 1/2 to 10 cm) wide. The larger
the wheel, the more quickly it cuts.
Some
makes have wheels with wavy edges on the blade, to give your slices scalloped
edges. Some have dual blades (the blades are more end to end, rather than side
to side.) Some have a blade guard on them. This is useful both for safety
during use, and to help stop it scratching other things when stored in a
drawer.
Some
have a hole in their handles, letting them be hung up if desired for storage.
At the blade end of handle, there is usually a finger guard to stop your
fingers approaching the blade. Some modern ones have no handles, just a big
blade guard on the top that you press down on.
The
wheels can loosen over time and wobble. Some models have a mechanism that can
be used to tighten the wheel support back up. When they start to wobble, or get
dull, they can drag toppings with them.
Some
less well designed models might not have enough clearance between wheel and
frame to stop cheese getting stuck.
Pizza-Wheel
Cutters with a bit of heft to them can mean that you have to press less.
Not
all are dishwasher-safe.
Pie
weights
Name of item :
Pie Weights
Function :
to help when blind baking pie, so the pie crust don’t make a bubble
Materials :
ceramics
How to clean :
using dry towel/napkin
Pie
weights are small ceramic or metal balls that you use when "blind"
baking a pie crust.
To
blind bake a pie crust means you bake it naked, without its filling. Or, you
may blind bake a pie crust for a pie that has an especially wet filling, so
that the crust gets a head start on crisping up and is less likely to be soggy.
Pie
weights prevent the crust from forming air pockets that bubble up or shrinking
as it cooks. They weight down the dough so that it holds its shape and stays
firmly nestled against the pie plate.
Piping
bag/pastry bag/decorating bag
Name of item :
Piping Bags
Function :
to help when decorating cake, to help whipping cream application
Materials :
plastic
How to clean :
you can’t wash the piping bags, you only can use it once
A
piping bag is a kitchen tool used for decorating cakes, pies, cookies, and
other pastries, and also for squeezing doughs, batters, creams and puréed
ingredients like potatoes onto platters or baking sheets.
A
piping bag is basically a bag in the shape of a cone. The bag is filled with
the ingredient to be piped and then twisted to force the ingredient
toward the pointy end of the cone. The pointy end is open and can be fitted
with any number of tips which will produce a different decorative effect.
Piping
bags come in all sizes from very large for doing big jobs to extremely tiny
ones for doing finely detailed work on cakes and cookies. Pastry cream is often piped through a bag, and choux pastry dough is piped onto a baking sheet for
making cream puffs or éclairs. Piping bags are also used
for filling pastries, like doughnuts that are filled with cream or jelly.
Piping
bags are usually made of canvas, which makes them durable, with a plastic
coating on the inside which makes them easy to clean and reuse. But disposable
plastic ones are often used, too.
A
piping bag is usually fitted with a coupler at the pointy end, which makes it
easier to swap out different tips — otherwise, you'd have to reach through the
bag of frosting to change the tip.
The
easiest way of filling a piping bag is to attach the desired tip, then fit the
empty bag point-down into a glass quart jar. Then you can wrap the wide end of
the bag over the mouth of the jar like a cuff and then simply spoon your
ingredient into the bag.
