SPILL THE BEANS

Home-baked pies are a real winner at dinner time, with their crispy crusts, delicious sweet or savoury fillings, and that scrummy scent that fills the kitchen. Finishing your pie with a traditional rustic latticed design really is the cherry on the top, and is sure to get ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ from everyone round the table when you lay it out to share. But cutting that lattice design can be tricky, even for pastry pros. So leave the knife in the drawer and grab this lattice roller instead. With its easy-roll action, it glides through rolled pastry, cutting a perfect criss-cross design as it goes. It will save you bags of time and hassle, so it’s great when you’re busy prepping for a dinner party or family feast. And best of all, it creates a perfect professional look every time, even with sticky or delicate pastry.
