This star cookie cutter from Dexam is made from rust-resistant aluminium finished in gold, making it a practical choice for cutting biscuits, fondant, or pastry shapes. It comes in two sizes, 5.5cm and 7cm, so you can choose the scale that suits your bake or mix both for variety on the same tray. As a metal cutter, it gives a cleaner, sharper edge than a plastic alternative, particularly through thicker dough. It's hand wash only, which is a small price to pay for a cutter that should last well with proper care.
What Customers Ask About This Product
Which size should I choose, 5.5cm or 7cm?
It depends on what you're making and how many you want from a batch of dough. The 5.5cm cutter is better for smaller bites or decorations, while the 7cm cutter gives a more substantial biscuit. Many people end up buying both for variety.
Is this cookie cutter dishwasher safe?
No, this cutter is hand wash only. Aluminium can react with the heat and detergent used in a dishwasher cycle, which can affect its finish over time, so washing by hand is recommended.
Is the gold finish food safe?
The cutter is made from rust-resistant aluminium, which is a standard material for metal baking tools. As with any metal bakeware, it's designed for contact with dough rather than prolonged contact with acidic or wet ingredients.
Will the cutter rust over time?
The aluminium used is described as rust-resistant, which should reduce the likelihood of rusting compared to untreated metal. Drying it thoroughly after washing will help keep it in good condition for longer.
In our experience...
Metal cutters give a sharper edge than plastic ones. A thin metal rim cuts cleanly through dough, while plastic cutters tend to push and compress the edges rather than slicing through. This matters most with denser doughs like gingerbread or shortcrust.
Drying metal cutters properly prevents most rust issues. Even rust-resistant metal benefits from being dried thoroughly straight after washing rather than left to air dry on a draining rack. Trapped moisture in the seams is usually where rust starts to form first.
Having two sizes of the same shape is genuinely useful. A smaller and larger version of the same cutter lets you vary portion sizes without buying a completely different shape. It also helps when stacking decorations or making a tiered effect with icing.
Coloured finishes on cutters are cosmetic, not functional. A gold or coloured coating on a metal cutter is there for appearance and doesn't change how it performs. The cutting edge itself is what matters for a clean shape, regardless of the colour of the body.
