FAQs
What materials can I use these reindeer cutters with?
You can use them with a variety of edible materials like sugar paste, gum paste, marzipan, and cookie dough. They are also suitable for non-edible craft clays.
How do I clean the reindeer cutters?
Handwashing with warm, soapy water is recommended. Dry them thoroughly immediately after washing. They are not dishwasher safe.
Are these cutters suitable for children to use?
While made of food-grade plastic, adult supervision is recommended if children are using the cutters, especially when working with crafting materials or sharp edges of the paste.
What are the dimensions of the reindeer cutters?
The set includes two sizes: a small cutter measuring 25mm (approximately 1 inch) and a medium cutter measuring 40mm (approximately 1.6 inches).
Can I use these cutters for both edible and non-edible projects?
Yes, but it is essential to keep tools used for food separate from those used for non-food materials to prevent cross-contamination.
Are the cutters double-sided?
No, these cutters are not double-sided. They are designed to be used from one side for cutting.
Troubleshooting
Reindeer shape is not cutting cleanly through the paste.
Ensure the paste is not too soft or sticky. Lightly dust the paste and the cutter with cornstarch or powdered sugar. Press down firmly and evenly on the cutter.
Paste is sticking to the cutter.
Lightly dust the cutter with a small amount of cornstarch or powdered sugar before pressing into the paste. Ensure the paste is adequately firm.
Cutters feel flimsy during use.
These cutters are made of ABS plastic and are designed for careful pressure. Apply firm, steady pressure rather than excessive force. Ensure the material being cut is not excessively thick or hard for the cutter's intended use.
