Pastry bag

A pastry bag, piping bag or pastry bag (also piping bag ) is a conical bag made ​​of waterproof fabric with a spout at the bottom. It is used in kitchens and patisseries for precise application of whipped cream and creams, mayonnaise and similar to most decorative purposes or for forms of shortbread cookies. It is commercially available in various sizes and forms. The actual bag is usually made of very fine fabric, now mostly water-resistant synthetic fabric, while the Nozzles are made of stainless steel or plastic.

The handling of piping bags requires some practice. They are about half filled, twisted together at the top and served with both hands. The writing hand holds and guides the spout while the other holds the bag closed and compresses the same time, so that the mass escapes in the desired amount. To meet the different purposes and consistencies meet, have a piping bag over interchangeable spouts with different sized and shaped openings.

To make work easier and to avoid washing out the pastry bag made ​​of fabric, the catering supplies trade also offers disposable bags made ​​of transparent plastic.
