Ateco Wheel Stainless Steel Cutters Review

Don't recommend this item for large production - we own a bakery, and it is wobbly and difficult to control. It's worth spending more to get the proper one for commercial use. Maybe it's ok for home use, but cannot imagine why anyone at home would really need it.

Oxo Good Grips Dough Blender Review

I do a lot of baking; a lot of different types of baking and therefore need good equipment that is not going to break my piggy bank. I have owned several dough blenders (still have them in the baking section of my kitchen) but found this Oxo brand to be the best of the litter. It fits my hand perfectly and for those of you who do a lot of work with these utensils know, this is very important. Nothing like a good hand cramp to set your day off just right. I suspect that this company has put in quite a lot of research as to the workings of the human hand and they pretty well have it nailed with this product.
The blades of this one (five) are quite stout and do not bend and flex as most do. I hate flimsy utensils, so this one was a real pleasure when I started using it. As to the sturdiness, this one if far superior to the Wilton, Pampered Chief or Anco...there is just no comparison. Trust me, I have used them all.
There are some considerations though. As pointed out by one reviewer, this mixer is not compatible with smaller bowls. I use rather large and heavy mixing bowls so do not have that problem myself, but I can see were some might have. Secondly, cleaning by hand is a chore. I have found the best way to clean this thing up is to soak it for a bit and then simply throw it in the dishwasher. I usually like to hand wash all my equipment, but in this case I go for the washer. The other way I have used is the simple use of a longer bristled kitchen brush.
As an added tip, this is a good tool to make thin butter patties with and to slice eggs for salads..a very nice even cut.
If you do a large amount of "scratch" baking, then this one is going to make life a lot easier for you.

Cutting butter or margarine into flour for great pie and pastry crusts is easier than ever with this heavy-duty dough blender from Oxo. Designed with sturdy stainless-steel blades, the dough blender makes quick, efficient work of preparing crumb toppings and pastries. The broad, soft handle absorbs pressure and is non-slip for a secure grip. The kitchen tool measures 5 by 5-1/4 by 2 inches and is safe to clean in the dishwasher.
