Fluted pastry wheel

Cuts straight, even lattice strips with a pretty crinkled edge.

What it is and why it matters

A pastry wheel is a rolling cutter for dough. It cuts straight, even strips for lattice pie tops and crackers, and a fluted wheel leaves a crinkled edge. It's easier than a knife for long straight cuts.
