Creating and cutting a perfect circle is difficult to say the least. For many years I have kept an ordinary 12 inch ruler in my kitchen. It is practical but will not help when a perfect circle is needed. You can create circles which range from 4 inches all the way to 14 inches. Perfect for a small tart, a quiche or a family sized pie. The guide also lets you know the diameter for standard sized pie dishes. For example, for an 8 inch pie dish you will need an 11 inch pastry crust. The guide will also give dimension all the way to a 14 inch pie crust. It is nice to know you will be correct the first time. This tool is flexible but well made and easy to keep clean. Once you have it you will find more uses.

I wasn't sure how to use this item but I bought it on sale. I made a lattice top apple pie using it within 1 day of receipt. It made a nice design and was easy to use. Sometimes the dough rolled up into the middle of the 2 wheels. It was easy to remove but I wasn't sure how to prevent this. Perhaps the dough needed more flour so it would be less moist. I tried rolling the wheel cutter in flour to see if that helped but it didn't so what I did was go real slow and push the dough down if it seemed like it was about to go into the center of the wheel. If anyone has a better idea of how to prevent this let me know. Either way, I'm glad I got it. The lattice pieces were uniform and very pretty as a final product on my pies.

Pastry guide was delivered rapidly and Amazon carried the best price for this essential pastry implement. I produce numerous tarts, pies and quiches from scratch for the holidays. This pastry guide is thin and flexible but most effective for measuring the pastry accurately. The slot on the arm works nicely when forming a radius. Be sure to hold the red center button down with a light pressure when turning the arm.
