Low expectations help...March 5, 2008 K. Man(London) 22 out of 25 found this review helpful
So I was looking at cookie makers because I am bored and have time, the other two on the site use batteries. One got slated in the reviews, the other was pretty good, this one had no reviews. Now I don't really like battery powered goods... and this one seemed pretty functional. Doubles as an icing gun which you can buy for a lot cheaper anyway. But given the gadget status my expectations weren't high - it's a novelty item for bored people. Perfect. So unlike some people who might think the plunger will be a perfect fit and a feat of engineering, I put the dough in a bag and then inside the tube. Less cleaning. I tried the one recipe they put on the paper inside. It wasn't the best recipe, but try what they give you first (FYI brush with egg because they come out very pale). The instructions say "click once and remove" Leaving the cookie one assumes. Reality check, the dough stays stuck to the template. Because there is nothing to cut it off (if there was a little cigar cutter mechanism to crop the cookie off it would be PERFECT) but instead I worked out a knack... you have to get the dough to a perfect sticky but not too wet consistency and then if you click twice and you're lucky it clings to the baking sheet so you can pull the gun off leaving a decent little cookie shape. It'll get better with some practice but like I said, I have low expectations. Would also be better if the gun mechanism opened at the top so you could remove the whole tube to clean like some icing guns. I should work for KitchenCraft...
