Ateco 870 - 10 Piece French Star Tube Set, Stainless Steel Pastry Tips, Sizes 0 - 9

Initially was sent the wrong set of tips, but Amazon sent me the correct ones & allowed me to keep the incorrect ones. The tubes are great quality, none of the tips were bent or broken. The 10 piping tips come in a plastic cone with a lid, which is pretty sturdy for shipping purposes. The tips are engraved with the brand and piping tip number. I bought these specifically for piping eclairs & they are awesome! Keep in mind that the larger the piping tip size, the larger the opening (or entrance) of the tip.

Sturdy, well constructed tips. Very easy to use.

Their wonderful tips. I love the tube they come in for easy use. However, I didn’t realize they were all French tips. Oh well they’re still great!

i loved this product, it is wonderfulll, i made meregues and it piped like heavennnnnnnn wooooow thanks for this awesome product

Love these. They work great.

I bought these to round out my piping tip set. Thomas Keller calls for them in his book BOUCHON BAKERY to make eclairs, amongst other items. I find having the full set gives me a range of options as a pastry chef for sizes and applications. These are sturdy and sharp enough to actually cut you and draw blood, so please use caution when prying them out of the end of a piping bag. Ateco tips are made of stainless steel and always cut with precision. Note that in the identifying numbers stamped on each tip that the 8 refers to the fact that it is a large pastry tip. This means it wont fit a standard small Wilton or Ateco coupler. The second number refers to the shape the tip is cut into. in this case, the 6 means its a fine-toothed star, aka French Star. The third number is 0-9, referring to its position in the graduated sizes, 0 being smallest, and 9 being largest, in that series of tip. NOTE AGAIN- THESE WILL NOT FIT A STANDARD WILTON OR ATECO SMALL COUPLER. Also, if you arent using a disposable plastic or parchment made bag, and youre using a canvas or multi-use plastic bag, youll need one dedicated to this general size of tip. Ive owned sets of the stainless Ateco tips for over 10 years. Keep them clean, dry, and safe after each use, and theyll last you a lifetime. Youre more likely to lose them in the garbage disposal, by accident, by theft, or accidentally knocking them into a trash can, long before you ever lose them to wearing out.

PERFECT! The best french star tips you will find!

I love the quality of this item. Easy to use, easy to clean, and strong material. Ive already used them too many times to count in the little time Ive had them. My favorite tips to work with by far.

the tips i ordered were awesome. they came in a perfect variety of sizes and work great for a variety of things like piping mashed potatoes and veg. purees; not to mention perfect for various designs for frosting cakes. i recommend these to everyone who enjoys cooking and or baking. the best part is they are stainless steel so they last forever. Easy to clean, and the hold their shape way better than plastic of tin.

These Sizes are perfect for anyone who likes to have a good variety of piping tips to decorate cakes, cupcakes, eclairs etc... Just have fun with them you will feel like a Pastry Chef, because I do every time I use them and I love them its Ateco Brand you cant go wrong. I will get more variety for sure.
