Each good pastry chef always has his own set of tools with which he is able to work miracles. One of such tools is a confectionery syringe. With its help, you can not only decorate any cake or cake, but also give shape to the semi-finished product from the dough. It is always nice to see a culinary product not only deliciously prepared, but also decorated in an appropriate way. Many people underestimate the stage of decoration. But in vain. Using a pastry syringe, you can transform the simplest home-made biscuit and turn it into an elegant piece of culinary art. It can be used to work with cream, mousse and even pasta.
This simplest device is a cylinder made of metal or plastic, inside of which a piston moves. At its opposite end there is a nozzle with a hole. The mixture is loaded into the cylinder, and as a result of the
translational movement of the piston under pressure moves towards the nozzle. The hole has a certain profile and, passing through it, the mass acquires the corresponding shape. In this way, roses, petals are made, inscriptions and openwork drawings are applied. Confectionery syringe provides an opportunity to show imagination. Take this opportunity!
If you look closely, you can see that the confectionery syringe is very similar to the medical one. The difference is only in the nozzle. But the medical needle is also a kind of nozzle through which the medicine is pushed out. The same thing happens with cream.
Recently, housewives are increasingly wondering where to buy a confectionery syringe. In the trading markets, Chinese products are predominantly dominant. This already says a lot about its quality. Devices quickly break down and fail. Therefore, sometimes the idea arises to make a device with your own hands. This is not difficult. As a cylinder, you can use any unnecessary bottle of soft plastic. For example, after dyeing the hair, a tube of peroxide remains, and its cap can perfectly serve as a nozzle. As a cylinder, you can also use a piece of dense fabric. In this case, it turns out not a confectionery syringe, but a confectionery bag. The fabric folds in the form of a cone, and the selected nozzle is fixed at the end. With the help of such a bag of cream, you can write a congratulation on the cake or apply your favorite pattern. There are many options. It is only necessary to adapt and show skill. At first it’s always difficult, but this is only the first time.
The confectionery syringe usually has several nozzles of various shapes, which are designed for mixtures of different consistencies. It can be either mechanical or electrical. The electric version is more powerful and greatly simplifies the work of the hostess in the kitchen.
Syringes are used not only at home, but also on production lines of the confectionery industry. With their help, marshmallows are deposited, as well as dough pieces for custard cakes. After baking, these blanks are filled with fragrant cream and enter the distribution network in the form of everyone’s favorite treats.
Having such a device at home, you can easily cook various complex desserts, decorate holiday cakes or fill in airy donuts with mouth-watering mixes. Friends will admire for a long time, recalling the unique masterpieces of your culinary art, and soon you can really become a real master.
