de Buyer Le Tube Decorating Tool – 18-Piece Set

If you’ve ever squeezed frosting out of a piping bag—or worse, a sandwich bag with one corner snipped off—you’ve probably wondered, “Why hasn’t anyone invented a better way to do this yet?” Well, de Buyer has. Their durable, easy-to-fill, completely dishwasher-safe Le Tube system will replace single-use piping bags (and those stained “reusable” ones) for good. It’s a sturdy, rigid plastic tube with an easy-grip piston handle that works like an oversized syringe, giving you complete control over the contents. Just squeeze the handle to depress the silicone-ringed plunger; it scrapes every last bit of filling out of the tube without a fight. (And without wasting a drop.) Customizable pressure options let you adjust the power to your liking, so you can avoid squeezing too much out too quickly. It even takes the guesswork out of portioning; you can set it to dispense specific amounts from 0.5 to 1.5 ounces, which is a lifesaver when making piping macaron batter or ravioli. In addition to its dishwasher-safe material, Le Tube is also freezer- and microwave-safe, so you can freeze prepped fillings ahead of time and fine-tune the temperature on the fly. The set includes two piping tips (round and star), 13 decorative discs for cookies and two closing caps for convenient storage.

How to Use: Squeeze the easy-grip piston handle to depress the silicone-ringed plunger; it pushes and scrapes the filling toward the tip. Use in any recipe that calls for piping or decorating. We love Le Tube for filling madeleine molds, piping identical macarons and spritz cookies, adding jam or dulce de leche to sandwich cookies, and, of course, decorating cakes and cupcakes with intricate designs. It also makes filling ravioli, tortellini, pelmeni, potstickers and manti both easy and precise.
