I only saw the Wilton 20 piece on your website. Where is the information for the al la carte products?
That is disappointing, but ultimately not that surprising that the disposable bags were favored. Was there a runner up by chance? Aside from the color/odor, what were the issues with the reusables? My gut instinct says the silicone bag would be harder to control, but that's not necessarily true.
I'm also curious if/how the bag's angle/opening of width affects things.
While doing dishes I got the tip of my finger stuck through the the tip of piping bag. It was stuck hard, it really hurt and I felt life a dope asking the pastry girl to get it off.
I bought my set in a local restaurant supply store, complete with coupler. I also got far more tips than I ever use, but they are in a nice handy plastic holder. Now if I can just figure out how to use them….need to make more cakes, I guess. (My wife is reading this, and she heartily concurs…)
Love these equipment reviews Thanks
I like using zip lock plastic freezer bags so nothing happens to squirt out the wrong way
Those piping tips are real nice and I have seen them used on the TV show: "America's Test Kitchen" and they worked nicely in decorating cakes.
single use plastic bags??? way to pollute the planet, dude. don't you folks care about sustainability?
Interesting. Good job.
Can we get more videos of the other format? No fuss, no playful banter, just the cold hard facts and the winners at the end
I use a piping set from the dollar store. Cause I'm a maverick.
When comparing the 2 pink piping bags, was the first one without a tip? The 2nd one was w/a tip. Just observing
I love ATK, but please stop promoting single use plastics
Good job
And good to know
It would be nice if you made a video about microwave pressure cookers… should be the fastest and healtiest way cooking.. or so have I heard…
