great! thanks...
I wasnt sure it would be durable enough for dough.
I thought , its gotta be easier than using the darn pastry bag... the orginal recipe calls for rolling the dough with your hands and shaping into pretzels, but it was way tooooo time consuming and I found that piping the dough made it much lighter and I make little "star clouds" instead of the pretzels.
