Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fox Run Pinwheel Pie Top Cutter
Customer Review: This Pinwheel Has Beauty without Functionality
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted to dress up my double-crust pies in a more artistic and
professional way, so I ordered two pie top cutters along with some other
items. I was disappointed by the Pinwheel pie top cutter because its cutting
ridges won't give even a basic form of the openings you see in the picture.
Only about half of the design shown will be made by the cutter, as if
one took a knife and make a slight curve, then pulled back in an arc-- it
looks like a fishing hook. Think about a lattice pie cutter that didn't
make diamond cutouts, but just made smaller V-marks in the pastry dough.
Also, each marking does not follow the stylish shape of the openings; each
is far more simple, just like a backwards letter J. Plain, not artistic.
Ugh. Not for my kitchen, people. Definitely NOT consistent with what
Amazon's webpage says: "Creates uniquely decorative design for top pie
crust."
Looking at the pictures on Amazon for other pie top cutters, you can
see where the pastry cutouts were being used to decorate the outer edge or
sometimes even the center of the pie-- now that's a creative dynamic! I
was looking forward to using the cutout pieces of dough from the Pinwheel
in between the voids, but in reverse, for a "stretched-out, 6-9 effect."
However, my artistic plan is too much work with this pie top cutter. This
piece does not make cutouts. You will not have any pieces of dough at all,
anywhere, after using it. All my hopes went crashing to the floor.
Amazon says: "Make decorative cutouts for the tops of your pies with
this pie top cutter." Sorry; this cutter does NOT make cutouts-- it makes
lines; 1D, not 2D. A line is not a cutout. Even little children know that a
cutout is made by going all the way around a shape, not just a long, curvy
line. There are no pieces of dough taken out by this cutter.
The webpage says: "Roll out the dough to the required size and press
down with the pie top cutter to cut out decorative vent holes." Sorry
again; this cutter does NOT make vent holes, not even one.
As for what I like about this cutter, the fact that the pie top cutter
is totally flat, with no raised edge seemed like another problem at first,
but when bake a huge pie, or a cobbler in a rectangular pan, the crust
ought not be cut off automatically.
It's made of sturdy enough plastic, which should last "forever," even
though no warranty is expressed. The Amazon webpage says it's 9" wide, and
other websites say it's 10", but actually it is 9.5" (24.2 cm) wide,
overall.
The design is gorgeous. It caught and held my eye when I first saw it.
A stylized daisy or sunflower with a polarized effect.
I called the Fox Run Company and it responded well to my concerns. If
the Pinwheel were done over, I would be one of their first customers.
Sadly, I'm returning it. I want both utility and art in my kitchen, without
settling for just one.
