 Rating:  - Great cookie pressI finally broke down and bought a new cookie press - mine is about 35 years old. It's the kind that you have to turn a knob on the top to push the cookie dough out. Now that I'm baking with my granddaughter, I thought I'd update my kitchen equipment. As with anything else new, I had to get used to it, but it didn't take long. I like the "trigger" on it, but I'm wondering whether I will still like it as I get older. I kept my old one - just in case. So far, well worth the $. Rating: - Found a solution to the sticking problem....Overall I found this to be a good cookie press, especially for the money. The barrel is made of plastic, not glass, which was disappointing.It's fairly sturdy, but also doesn't weigh a ton. It comes apart easily which is nice for cleaning or changing the shape during cookie making. I've read reviews where people complained about the ratcheting action not working - mine worked perfectly, or the dough not sticking (this has more to do with the type of pan you use or the type of dough than the cookie press). Don't buy this press thinking you can use the premade store cookie dough - it's just too thick! The only cookie presses this might be possible with would be professional grade = $$$$$. The recipes Wilton provides are lousy, but you can find many good spritz cookie recipes - check out Recipes.com - that work fine with this press. Some tips that I've learned after owning this for a while.... refrigerate the cookie press for about an hour before you intend to use it. The colder the barrel, the easier the dough slides through and the better shape you get. Also, try putting your cookie sheets in the freezer for several hours before making the cookies - the dough will stick to a frozen cookie sheet just like your tongue would. Rating:  - Broke on First Use!After going thru 2 other cheaper cookie presses in about 7 years, I decided to splurge and get the one that was supposed to be a "professional" version. It certainly looked and felt sturdier, so I was optimistic, however the very first time I tried to use it, it broke. Although, most of the construction is metal (steel?) there ARE plastic pieces on it, and the main piece that pushes (ratches) the dough thru the cylinder is plastic - it cracked after only a single tray of cookies. The dough was NOT overly stiff, so there was no reason it should have cracked. I had to get my mother's 30+ year old cookie press (made of ALL metal) to finish the batch. It handled the job with no problem. I wish they made them like they used to. Rating: - Easy to use, but recipes a problemMy daughter bought this because we had so much trouble forming the cookies with our old-fashioned aluminum cookie press that once belonged to her great-grandmother. The ratchet and squeeze handle are so much easier to use than the screw. However, when we tried our first recipe, chocolate spritz, the cookies spread out during baking into nearly shapeless blobs. We also noticed a very critical typo in the recipe for classic spritz cookies: it says to use a "greased" cookie sheet instead of ungreased. The French version of the same recipe and all the other spritz recipes I've ever seen say to use ungreased ("non graissee"). I'd appreciate any tips or hints that would solve the problem of spreading cookies.
