I would use a smaller size but it depends on your hands. I prefer to use a small bag and refill frequently han to use a larger bag. But that's a very personal decision

If you were only making a batch or two I think these would be perfect! But if you are making a lot, then you might want to go bigger! I LOVE these bags! I have the larger ones and use them ALL the time for cake/cupcake decorating and filling!! Wonderful product!

While I have not used it I do use these for larger scale projects as well as some detail work. I think this is the perfect size for what you need. Any larger, it becomes cumbersome and smaller, you're constant refilling it.

This 18 inch size would be good for macarons unless you're making a LOT of them in the same color and flavor. In that case for a boatload of macarons (unless you don't mind reloading the bag a time or two), the 21 inch size would be a better size. The 12 inch would definitely be too small for the job.

Oops! I want quite done!! Here is a snippet from a baking blog: Get the right size. Pastry bag sizes indicate their length. Frustratingly, that tells you almost nothing about the bag. Not even a math whiz can calculate the volume of a cone based strictly on its length. But that's okay, I've got a cheat sheet: 12" bags hold 1 1/2 cups. 16" bags hold about four cups and 18" bags hold six (your mileage may vary). For detail work, like writing on a cake, go for the 12" bag. For piping macarons or cream puffs, use a roomy 18" bag so you won't need as many refills. I hope this answers your questions!! :-)

I think that depends on the size of the tip you plan to use, and your comfort level with larger bags. These can certainly hold a good volume of contents. . But it may be too big for some for any detail work. I've got big hands so it's ideal for me.

Yes. I've been using it for my macarons and it works beautifully. The finest I've found so far.

Hi Clarissa. I think the small size would be the correct for you. (I'm guessing because I've never seen a unicorn's wrist before :) But I think small is the right size for you.

Probably. However, I'd go for the larger especially if you have guests or want to do something big like a chicken, or want leftovers!!I really can't comment on the smaller size as I don't have it. But am really glad I got this size as its not all that big to me. The smaller is probably good enough, but the food tastes so good I was grateful for the leftovers.Hope this helps and thanks for asking

Yes- Better to go with the regular size. It is perfect for larger food items especially poultry, large fish and the leftovers are great. I would imagine the smaller size would be more for small meals or backpacking trips etc.

for me,it is the correct size. i use it for oranges, limes, lemons, perfectly.

I am wanting to know the size of the 3 quart Chef's casserole.Looking for about 8 inches in diameter and deep enough to put the silicone egg poaching cups in.If anyone has this information?

I like the size but maybe the next size up would be better, I use mine mostly for cookies,I still like the regular mellon ball cutter for cantaloupe and watermelon,etc.it is a little simpler to use..

It might be tricky. There is an optical illusion going on when you look at this pot. It is slightly wider than it is tall. Last year, another purchaser was unhappy about that because it didn't fit where he wanted to put it. So I measured all of mine and discovered that no matter what size you buy, the very top is wider than it looks. If you can make your macrame work around that, it should look great because the finish on these pots has a luster that makes them look like polished stone and a macrame hanger would put it at eye level. Hope that helps.

Truffles are very rich. I was suggest using the medium size scoop. However if you want something larger or smaller based on the quantity you watch then use the size accordingly. However I would use that medium-size.

Yes I use this to make macarons. The silicone does seem to influence cooking time. I am new to using silicon and a new oven so I can't really say for sure which one I am having to adjust for. But when I make macarons on a cookie sheet with paper they don't take as long as the silicon.

It depends a bit if you are considering using it for entertaining guests. However, if you cook for just two people, the smaller size is more than sufficient and the 7 quart will generally be much to large.

Wow, I suppose it all depends on the kind of cookie you wish to make & how big you want it to be. The medium size is a pretty good size actually for a normal sized cookie. I included this with our granddaughter's Christmas gifts. She likes to bake cookies but because she used a spoon to drop them on the cookie sheet, they were all sizes & shapes. She used her new scoop recently & said it worked well plus the cookies were all the same size! Hope this helps with your decision.

Hmmm Yeah probably it's a decent size. The bottom inside (the lining) doesn't look like its very sturdy. I use mine for a fruit tray, I line up apples with a tea towel underneath. It's nice it should hold plenty.

I usually follow measurements except for French dressing. It's been awhile since I made Italian so I can't remember. You can adjust it to your tastes.

For French macarons this super fine almond flour works really well and better than any brand I've tried. Less waste after sifting and a very smooth shell as a result. I highly recommend!
