More fun than useful, but if you enjoy playing with food consider purchasing these, July 12 2006

An avid home cook that is a collector of both cookbooks and cooking gadgets writes this review. I purchased this product because my cooking has progressed to the point that I am as concerned about presentation as I am the taste of the food I fix for my family. I use this product to make fancy cuts on cookies, pie dough and raw vegetables. I have summarized my observations of this product below:
Pros:
1. Easy to change the shape of the cutout
2. Small size means easy to store
3. Excellent for cookie dough as well as chilled pastry and raw vegetables
4. Easy to clean by hand
5. Makes a very impressive cookie or pie crust that is deceptively simple
Cons:
1. Of limited usefulness but still quite fun (It wouldn't be the first kitchen gadget I would add to my collection)
2. Small size means it should not go into the dishwasher unless you want them to end up in the bottom
If you are wondering what you could do with these, here are some suggestions:
1. Happy Birthday on a top pie crust (cut out dough from the top crust or add dough letters to the top)
2. Message cut out of the top of a quesadilla
3. Monogrammed cookies
4. Monogram tea sandwiches
5. Cut out letters from cooked veggies and use the rim of a plate to send a message
6. Monogrammed french fries of polenta (the potato will needed to be thinner than normal to successfully cut it out)
The options are really endless if you are creative. I think messages in lunches are a nice way to remind those that you love that you are thinking about them.
Overall, if you are looking for way to enhance the appearance of the food you serve your family you will get a lot of use out of these.

Gosh I really didn't expect them to be this small. 1 inch high by 3.4inch wide. I'm going to be making Q cookies for days for the kindergarten class. I must have missed the measurements when I went to order these. Oh well fun for the children to make their name.

Smaller than expected, Oct 22 2008

Sturdy cookie cutters but they are a lot smaller than I expected. The image shown is true to size! Makes it hard to cut anything remotely sticky cause it just gets stuck in the cutter.
