O'Creme Commercial Lattice Pie-Top Cutter Pastry-Crust Cutting Roller 4-3/4 Inch Wide, Stainless Steel Blades with Plastic Handle

A latticework crust on the top of a pie makes it attractive and advertises its filling, so the baker or homemaker knows what kind of pie s/he is serving, and the consumer or guest has his or her appetite whetted. If a lattice looks hard to make, no worries: You don't need artistic skills to make your lattice pattern perfect. With your dough flattened, roll this lattice cutter straight down the dough with moderate to firm pressure. A lattice pattern forms on your dough through the structure of this tool, whose blades (all with three notches) alternate in their placement, the solid-edge part of one blade adjacent to the notch in the neighboring blade, leaving alternating slits in the dough that, when stretched out, become openings that both adjoin each other and run in diagonal lines — in short, the pattern of lattice.
