Mrs. Anderson’s Baking 6-Wire Pastry Cutter and Dough Blender, Stainless Steel with Wood Handle

Well made and easy to handle,

Works great

Works good for biscuit making!

This was on a list of tools I had to buy for an 8th grade cooking class in Jr. High. That was in 1967. Before they taught me how, I always used a fork to make pie crusts (taught by Mom). This is a game changer for pastry. It's also great with mushy fruits and vegs. My old one gave out a few times and my talented husband fixed it up until this year it was unfixable. Good price, comfy to use, never steered me wrong!

I bought this pastry cutter to replace one that was exactly like it, but from the 90s. After trying a different, more modern, fancier pastry cutter, I realized some things really don't need much (if any) improvement. I needed a pastry cutter that could cut shortening very finely into flour, and the close-set wire design of this pastry cutter does that job perfectly. Newer, wide-set blade style pastry cutters simply cannot do that, and what they are capable of I prefer to do by hand; it's virtually impossible to do by hand what this tool can do.

This particular pastery tool design works best. I bought this one for my soon to be daughter- in- law.

Cuts through dough, good product.

replaced one that was over fifty years old and made partially of plastic that had disintegrated this one is all metal and wood so it should last fifty more years (hopefully)

Much better than using a fork or large spoon, this breaks down the ingredients, the flour and shortening to where it looks like it' supposed to before adding the liquids. Helps me make great biscuits!

Bought this for my daughter as everyone should have one!
