MasterClass Wooden Pastry Tamper For Easily Press Dough into Mini-hole Pans, Brown

The lady who works for me couldn't for the life of her, guess what this was for, but when I showed her, she was thrilled. It's a very clever item and perfect to use when doing pastry casings. It's not what you need until you use it, and then you wonder why you never bought one or even designed it yourself.

I bought this pastry tamper as a gift for my mum, who loves making her own mince pies but always hated the mess and time it took to press the pastry into the tray with her fingers. I actually spotted one on a friend's Instagram story while she was making mince pies with her nan, and she mentioned it was an old-fashioned tool passed down through generations. I struggled to find one in shops, but of course, Amazon came through!The quality of the wood is fantastic—it feels really sturdy and well-made. I love that it's double-ended with two sizes, perfect for both mini and regular pies or tarts. I’m sure it would be great for jam tarts too! My mum was absolutely thrilled with it, and it’s made her pastry-making experience so much easier and quicker.A real gem of a find and a perfect gift for anyone who loves baking but wants to save time and avoid the mess!

Bit bigger than expected but I think it will do the job. Well made.

This was delivered quickly and did the job I needed perfectly which was to push pastry down into a Pie Maker. Great additional at a reasonable price.

Loved that this enabled me to fit my mince pie base easier and better to my Patti tins. Great shaped pies and time saver.

I bought this hoping it would help shape my dough to perfect tarts…. But the dough sticks to the base. I’ve tried dusting it with flour and using some grease proof paper at the base too but it’s just not as easy as hoped it would be
