The best donut cutter is one that's easy to use making it one of the handiest kitchen gadgets to have in your cupboard. You'll enjoy using it to make perfect looking donuts the quick and easy way at home. Grandma would have loved having one, and you will too.
It's not easy to find a high quality dough cutter for donut making since most local stores don't carry them, except for the cheaper plastic models that don't work as well. But, I found a great little cutter that will do the job well and stand up to years of service.
The Ateco 3-1/2-Inch Stainless Steel is considered the best donut cutter, as it cuts a perfect donut shape to make the best sized donuts for serving.
As one satisfied Amazon reviewer says, "The rings puff up to good sized donuts, not too big, not too small." And it's a perfect size for making small bagels too.
The Ateco's outer edge has a diameter of 3-1/2 inches with a 1 inch center hole. This means it's designed for easy handling and should fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, not awkward like some cutters. And your hand won't get tired while using it.
Well made of high quality stainless steel, its sharp cutting edges slice cleanly through the dough without mess or fuss. The open top means no clogs and no prying out the dough.
This means you'll be able to cut a dozen or more donuts in no time at all, effortlessly, just like the pros. Its professional cutting edge is sharp, so take care using it. Treat it as you would a knife and you'll be fine.
The stainless steel is not only durable, but it's dishwasher safe too. This means it's very easy to clean, and it's safe to leave in the dishwasher while drying overnight too.
This cutter is loved by consumers on the Internet with an average of nearly 5 stars on Amazon. Here are some of the comments:
Fry the little "donut holes" and sprinkle them with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Everybody loves to nibble on them!
I found virtually no complaints for this cutter. However, one person's review did say that the dough stuck to it a little bit.
However, this depends a great deal on how well the dough was made, and it's easily rectified by dipping your cutter in little bit of flour before cutting, as the flour will help to prevent any dough from sticking.
Just imagine how thrilled your family will be with fresh homemade donuts that look and taste just like Grandma's.
