Create perfectly flaky pie crust dough & biscuits

I felt that it was time to replace my 20+ year old pastry cutter with it's bent blades! When I saw this one, I knew it was just what I needed! It has a comfortable, firm grip. The serated blades are something that I hadn't seen (the blades on my previous blender were smooth). I feel like they really make blending butter with flour much easier. I have used it to make biscuits, and was impressed with this pastry blender.

I used this pastry cutter tonight to mix my 8 lbs of ground beef mixture for meatballs. It did a great job. It is larger than my old one and the handle is comfortable. I like that the top blue grip is one coated piece. My last two had rivets holding the top grip and both grips separated from the bottom. This one is one solid blue grip that is soft plastic and comfortable. As with my old ones, I had to clean the blades off when they picked up too much meat. This will happen with the dough also but it cleans off easily. It went through the dishwasher and came out clean and no rust. I will update my review if anything changes.

Ah, I have used the standard version of a pastry cutter for decades and while it worked okay, it was just never as good as I wanted it to be. This pastry cutter is my game changer! First, the heft and grip are perfect. I feel such a difference with the control and less fatigue I get with this over my old version. It is not overly heavy by any means, but the size and feel gives me such a solid grip and then you get to the blades and another wow moment for me - they are much thicker and completely more sturdy than my old version. I really like the design of the inner blades with the notches taken out - I felt that this was as important as the other features that made it out perform my old cutter by leaps and bounds. Overall, my experience was that the blades gave more consistent results and much faster cutting in of the butter with the flour. I am so glad I found this pastry cutter and highly recommend.

I already have a pastry cutter, but I had to JB Weld the handle back on (hey, it works). So I wanted a new one before my old one breaks again. This pastry cutter is super heavy duty! The handle is very comfortable and provides a nice grip. the stainless steel blades are very sturdy and incorporate butter and shortening very well into dry ingredients. While some dough does get stuck between the blades, it has done the same with every other brand I've used in the past--just scrape it out with a butter knife. This cutter has five blades, the middle three have serrated edges to blend the ingredients faster. Very nice pastry cutter for the price.
