The piping bag this kit made me the eye for some time and I finally gave in! It is pretty convenient to fill and store reusable and well on what was important to me. It is well suited for preparing enough fluids such as macaroons, but I have not tested with a thicker paste. The carpet is convenient because the circles allow the right amount of paste deposited the amount, but the buttons tend to stick to the mat after cooking. The last time I slathered the oil carpets and the result was much better. In conclusion not regret this purchase, but it is not essential provided!
