Marcato Biscotti Maker - Premium Anodized Aluminum Cookie Press for Italian Biscotti Baking - Perfect for Holiday Gifts, Coffee Pairings & Italian Dessert Making

This is the first cookie press that I have ever owned so I can not compare it to others but I can list why I liked it so much:• It is well made! Metal and isn’t flimsy. Quality made!• It is easy to clean. Smooth edges on the tube, the handles, the press disks and everything else the dough comes i to contact was smooth and made for easy, quick, hand washing.• I bought the blue and it is a gorgeous color. Doesn’t hurt to enjoy looking at the items you’re using in the kitchen, right? Makes it fun when baking.• I followed tips on Pinterest to chill your cookie sheets, don’t use parchment paper, and to make a fairly firm dough.• The recipe for a basic butter cookie dough in the booklet that comes with it was good tasting and enjoyable. Though I must admit again, I used a recipe I found on Pinterest as a go-to recipe as well as experimenting with my own recipes (shown in images is a custom made pumpkin-spice recipe that was hit with all of my family on Thanksgiving).• I loved the variety of disks that it came with, too. Something for holidays and for every-days, and with experimenting some could be used for almost every holiday. Plus you can make cookies of almost every shape from round, to oblong, to fancy flowers, trees, and stars.All-in-all this product has exceeded my expectations as to what it was going to be. It is a quality made product and I am very happy with my purchase!
