Would these be useful without a pastry tip, but if I just cut the bottom tip off in order to squeeze homemade purees into cube trays?

Yes, these bags are truly awesome I love them for anything. I make cakes and cupcakes and use them without tips writing and doing just a round frost.

yes Lindsey you can use these bags without a pastry tip I do this often especially for purees and jelly filling.
1279126
Yes. They are so sturdy I have used with and without a tip. So much better than the ziploc bag method! Hope this helps.

Yes, you can cut the tip any size. So I would think no tip would work great!! I just found them a bit small for what I was doing.
1279128
Yes, it works well even thought a pastry tip. Perfect for squeezing purees into cube trays.

You can cut the bag to any size opening you need an not use a coupler and tip.

A flat cake pan ala tiers = shave off the rounded center to flat. My guess is rim isn't wide enough for a pie edge. I'd experiment.

Certainly. Only be careful as a very little bit of this goes a long way. I would use a pinch at a time with a thorough tossing in between pinches. Good luck.

You can use them w/out the plastic holder but need the tip. When you insert the tip into bag just cut about an inch around the tip, promise that the icing won't smear out. They are also good for chocolate, they are microwaveable

I don't know why not. This device is just to shape patties. I don't think it would matter what you are shaping. Word of advice: put wax paper on both top and bottom of whatever you are pressing.

You are going to have to cut that part loose like you did before. Personally i found it the easiest task; just take a butter knife (or the thinnest knife you have) - the utensil does not have to be sharp, and bring it was close to the metal as possible and just run your knife along the underside of the cake and it should come out without any issues. Once i started running my knife it came off and without cutting away at the cake at all. If you had problems with this, you could add a piece of parchment next time to the bottom - it shouldn't effect the chiffon cake at all. But honestly, i don't think you'll have problems getting the bottom off - it's usually the easiest part!

gave mine away as baby gifts. Dont think those really puree. You might be happier using a blender first and then adding the stringy food with fruit/ or something else to put through the grinder. Just speaking from experience of the similar one I had when my children were babies---years ago.

I get they are triangular, but there is no opening for the frosting tip until you cut the tip of the bag, after filling with frosting, right? If I put frosting in the bag and wasn't going to use it immediately, it wouldn't run out the bottom...

Yes. You would just use the round tip and insert it into the cupcake. The same way you would with a piping bag. However, i find it much easier and less messy to use this instead of a piping bag

I have not cut them up - but I have looked this up on line & with the silpat company & they said NO. Do not cut as the fiberglass mesh particles might migrate into the food.

I haven't tried that, but they might. I think it would be hard to get the crust pressed into them without support on the outside (since they flex), but they fit nicely into a standard muffin tin, and you could put them in the tin while pressing the crust.

You can but it is clumsy. The trays are very flexible which makes it great getting the cubes out, either one, a few, or all, but when you are moving tray with water in it, that flexibility works against you. Until you have the tray on a flat surface it is very easy to spill the water.

I think it would definitely damage a silicone pastry sheet if you try to scrape anything on it since the edge is somewhat sharp (but not knife sharp by any means). Also, like another poster said, the corners could easily do damage as well. If you're careful and just lifting things off the silicone then you might be ok.

The dough would come out in a round form, and be more of a blob. There are tips that will work that are smaller round or even flat.

I have mine in a drawer but I didn't have to cut them down. You could possibly trim about 1/4" off around the sides. But the tray sits in a clear plastic tray for support and you couldn't cut that at all.

I've never tried that but I would think if you cut them up pretty small, like less than an inch long, it might work. Something fibrous like celery would probably get wrapped around the blade. If that happens you can take a large spoon and put it between the small protrusions on the bottom and twist. The blade will come out. I do this every time before I put it in the top rack of the dishwasher.
