At the advice of my Dr. I need to give my fore-arm a rest. I've tried a Wilton Ultra Pro II and a OXO press and both were feeble and lasted a few days at most and still required too much grip strength to operate.
Holiday season is coming and I hope to produce lots of Halowween, Thanksgiving and Christmas Cookies, so interchangeable dies with these themes would be awesome.
Looking at Gourmac Huntzler, no grip strength required, but plastic, so durability may be an issue.
Marcato looks to be built like a tank, but grip strength is required.
If I could find a used Rhodes benchtop manual kook-e-king for under $750, I would be in heaven!
I ended up getting (2) Marcato biscuit presses and can pump out spritz cookies fairly well left handed. They do not look as nice and my piped cookies, they look "manufactured" rather than hand made, so I don't know if this is an option worth moving forward with or not.
I feel like retro-fitting an pneumatic calking gun with a sanitary barrel and a star tip, that would be perfect.
Surely someone would have manufactured such a thing by now, but my searches have yielded nothing.
Thanks for that tip, I believe that will make life a whole lot less painful. And if I can pipe them and make the divot for the jam the night before and let the dry up, then the next morning pipe the jam and freeze them ready to bake... That would make production SO much more efficient. 20 sheet trays per speed rack x 36 cookies per tray = 720 cookies ready to bake.
Especially now that I got the (trash day curbside rescue) reach-in freezer up and running again The repair man only charged me 2 dozen croissants and $80 to replace the condenser fan, and give it shot of refrigerant.
