Pizza cutters have been a wonderful modern invention for making slicing pizza a much easier task. However, you can use this kitchen gadget for several other things. Check out my tips and let me know if you have a couple of your own!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Pizza cutter
  1. Step 1
    Homemade brownies

    A pizza cutter can also be used when baking brownies. When your brownies have been removed from the oven and cooled, run the pizza cutter through them to cut them precisely and evenly. No hassles!

  2. Step 2

    Do you make homemade dumplings? Rolling out the dough and cutting it with a knife makes it a bit challenging, or at least to me it does! The pizza cutter will whip right through the dough and have your dumplings ready to throw in the pot in a jiffy.

  3. Step 3
    Fudge

    Homemade fudge is another sweet treat that makes good use of a pizza cutter. After your fudge has set and hardened the pizza cutter slices right through making nice and neat fudge squares.

  4. Step 4

    I also like to use a pizza cutter when making a chef salad. It works great for slicing up strips of ham to top off any salad.

  5. Step 5
    Croutons
    Croutons

    Want to make homemade croutons? We always seem to have a couple of slices of bread that remain in the package (especially when a new loaf is sitting and waiting). Put those slices on a baking rack and pop them in the over for a few minutes to toast the bread. Cut up into small squares with the pizza cutter and you have homemade croutons!

  6. Step 6

    Turkey day is almost here, and a turkey isn't complete without stuffing. Use the pizza cutter to dice up bread for your stuffing. It's quick and easy!

Tips & Warnings
  • A pizza cutter can be used for many kinds of desserts that are baked in shallow pans for slicing and cutting.
  • Be careful...pizza cutters have very sharp edges. Always keep them out of reach of the little ones!
