Description

Picture a Saturday morning with a plate of matching doughnut rings, each one cut in a single press. This plunger cutter gives the ring and the center in one motion, and the included tongs keep your hands clear of hot oil and sticky glaze. It is a simple, budget-friendly way to bake doughnuts that look neat enough for the whole family.

Cut and shape perfect homemade doughnuts in one press

Solves
  • uneven doughnut shapes
  • messy hand-shaping of dough rings
  • handling hot or glazed doughnuts with fingers

Perfect doughnuts in one press, no mess

Hand-shaped dough leaves rings lopsided and fingers sticky. Press once, cut clean rings and balls, then dip and glaze with tongs for doughnuts that look like they came from a bakery.

One press, one clean ring every time

One press cuts the ring and center

Press the handle once and the outer ring and the center punch cut in the same motion. Every doughnut in the batch gets the same hole, and the edges come out clean and even.

Tongs keep hands out of the oil

The serrated-end tongs grip dough and glazed doughnuts, so you lift and dip without touching anything hot or sticky. Kids can dip their own while an adult keeps watch over the fryer.

From rolled dough to glazed in five steps

  1. 1
    Roll the dough

    Roll dough to an even thickness on a lightly floured counter. Even dough gives even rings.

  2. 2
    Flour and press

    Dust the cutter with flour, then press the plunger straight down once. Lift the cutter to release the ring and the center.

  3. 3
    Rest the rings

    Set rings and balls on a floured tray. If the dough feels soft, chill it briefly before the next press.

  4. 4
    Fry in small batches

    Lower rings into hot oil a few at a time. Flip once, then lift them out with the tongs over a rack.

  5. 5
    Dip and decorate

    Let the doughnuts cool slightly, then dip the tops in glaze or chocolate with the tongs. Add sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.

Questions and answers

Is the plastic cutter strong enough for thick dough?
w
Wanelo · seller

It is plastic, so it is light and not a heavy-duty metal cutter. It handles standard rolled dough well when you roll to an even thickness and flour the cutter before each press. For stiff dough, press firmly and steadily instead of forcing it.

Is the plastic budget-grade and will it hold up to repeated use?
w
Wanelo · seller

It is a budget plastic set built for home batches. Wash it by hand, keep it off the hot pan, and it will handle a weekend routine. It is not built for daily commercial use.

Does the cutter work with yeast dough as well as cake batter?
w
Wanelo · seller

It works on rolled dough, which is what yeast doughnuts are. Batter is poured rather than rolled, so the cutter is for dough only. Soft or sticky dough smears at the edges and fills the center punch, so chill it briefly and flour the cutter first.

Is it safe for kids to use the plunger?
w
Wanelo · seller

The plunger is a press action with no blades, so kids can cut their own rings. Keep an adult at the fryer and the hot oil. The tongs keep small hands clear of the oil and glaze.

Is the set worth it if I only bake doughnuts occasionally?
w
Wanelo · seller

You get two tools at a budget price, and every batch baked at home replaces a bakery box. Bake once a month and the set pays for itself quickly. Store the cutter in a drawer so it is ready for the next weekend batch.

Can I wash it by hand and reuse it?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Wash it by hand in warm soapy water after each batch and let it air dry. Keep it away from the hot fry pan, since plastic softens under high heat and can warp.
