Decorator Bottles Question....help!!!

[hoosierchef]

I recieved an email from a customer concerning the Decorator Bottles. Since I'm new....and not familiar with this product.....I was hoping some of you "seasoned" consultants could help me out. Here's her question:

​

>
You just brought some books into Shelley Lucas for a fundraiser
and I had a question about one of the items. It's a new one, the decoratorbottle set. Do you know if you can use other tips
you may have to fit the bottles? I have tips that are Wilton from one of their classes and didn't know if they would fit with these.

Thanks Ladies & Gents.

YES, Wilton and I believe it's Aztec (??) tips can be used with the DBS.

HTH,

Lisa

I just got into my "old" tips bag, only have 2 left...1 is Magic Tip 2, and the other is Magic Tip 67 (they're both the stainless steal). BUT

They DO fit! I'm pretty sure they're fairly standard... but I plan to get a couple of other tips this weekend to try it out... what a selling point!

 

[chefann]

Yep- standard decorating tips will work. It's a great selling point.

Correct..you can use professional tips.

Cook’s Tips:
The decorator tips are a standard size; customers can use the standard-sized tips that they have on hand, or purchase additional tips at craft stores.

To tint frosting, divide one can of prepared frosting into three resealable plastic bags. Add a few drops of food coloring, secure with a Twixit! Clip and knead to combine. Snip a corner of the bag and dispense into a Decorator Bottle.

The bottles can also be filled using the Small Spreader.

For optimal performance when using the Decorator Bottle Set, be sure that any food and/or ingredients put into the bottles are as smooth as possible.
The decorator bottles are not microwave-safe.
Technical / Safety / Cleaning Tips:

Use the provided brush to pre-clean the bottles and tips, then place in the dishwasher.

Just make sure that you don't use red tinted frosting...one of my bottles in now pink, and so is my cleaning brush. Tried the bleach, no dice. They are still pink. But it doesn't stain any other frosting that's put in there. so no biggie...has this happened to anyone else besides dumb me??

Try the rubbermaid plastic booster- it is for the dishwasher so you would have to put just the bottles and brush in but you can put any plastic wear in as well. It works magic that even bleach can't fix!
