Decora 60212 Tinplate Sicilian Cannoli, Silver, 14 x 9 x 5 cm

This pack gives 6 rolled metal cannoli forms, which can be squeezed to make narrower cannoli if you choose. The edges are quite sharp, so please use gloves to protect against getting cut. I thought I would perhaps need 2 sets but one is adequate and cannoli are best served fresh in any event, so you can prepare them in batches of 6, and chill the remaining dough for another day.PROS-------1. Great price, so easily affordable for even a few packs if required.2. The rolled metal design allows you to adjust the width of the cannoli to your choosing (especially if you want less creamy fillings :)3. Easy to grip with tongs after frying.4. The size of the form allows for shorter and longer length cannoli to be made.5. Fairly easy to clean in hot water, drain and dry.CONS------1. The edges are a bit sharp, so you must be careful not to give yourself razor-blade like cuts.2. You must spray the form first before looping the cannoli onto the, and glue the pastry edges with egg white or they will mis-shape.3. A bit fiddly to remove from the form once cooked and expanded, however squeezing the form to make it smaller, allows you to slide the cannoli off gently.4. You may need two or more packs if you are entertaining, as although you can re-use the forms once the batch of 6 is done, you do need to wait until they are cooled before mousing another cannoli to the form.VERDICT----------Good value and make gourmet cannoli which look very impressive as you can see from the photograph. I made mine in batches, as I knew about the freshness aspect. However I made about 28 in total, so this would have been tedious if done in a single batch to keep waiting for the forms to cool. I will probably buy another pack given the price is reasonable, so I can make enough for family in one batch!

Easy to use and I personally don’t find they have sharp edges. However, the pastries suppose to shake off once cooked. My experience is that whatever I do the pastry sticks. I have given up trying to use them. I have only knocked off 1 star because the sticking problem could be me and not the item.

I have never made cannoli before today but these worked great. If a sixty yeard old with dithery hands due to rheumatoid arthritis - aided and abetted by an enthusiastic nine year old granddaughter - can make something worthy of a confectioner's shop window then so can you. Heartily recommended.

Works really well, great value for money. Easy to clean and use, a bit thinner than expected

Beautifully designed, durable and easy to use. Very pleased

Ok for the job but be careful cause I cut myself! Don't use them with children!

Ace, does exactly what it says. Really easy to get cannolis off the metal! Tasted amazing too :-)

Good value for money, exactly what I wanted
