Never have used pastry bags. Want to use then to fill deviled eggs and ice cookies. Somewhere in the add I thought ut said these could be used without buying "tips". Can the bags be used as is or do I need attachments?

YES! You can use bags without tips. Just cut a SMALL hole in the tip to start and adjust from there to what you need.

I get they are triangular, but there is no opening for the frosting tip until you cut the tip of the bag, after filling with frosting, right? If I put frosting in the bag and wasn't going to use it immediately, it wouldn't run out the bottom...

Yes. You would just use the round tip and insert it into the cupcake. The same way you would with a piping bag. However, i find it much easier and less messy to use this instead of a piping bag

I'm pretty good at _watching_ how someone else is baking, so I asked her... :-) The reply was that these shot glasses are too small, but mainly they are long & narrow, which may pose a problem when you want to release whatever you bake in them. So, back to the original use - Cheers...

These bags come untrimmed at the bottom, in other words, you can use the directly with any Ateco tip; you can use kitchen shears to widen the bottom, to accommodate your adapter, which will allow you to switch tips for your decorating needs. These are professional, high-quality bags, and they are the very best!

I don't see why not, though I have never used it for deviled eggs. This set comes with plastic bags and metal tips. The large tip should work fine for deviled eggs.

Get the frosting as COLD as you can -- handling it in the pastry bag makes it warm and mushy and it will tend to run or droop

I use the Wilton tips avialable at Walmart and Michael's Craft stores. Any brand will work since you can cut the bag to the correct size of the tip.

I used a couple of mini pans, including this one, and I thought they were annoyingly hard to fill. A pastry bag is recommended, if you must have mini donuts! I bought several of the regular size, instead.

I use the Wilton tips; however, any decorator tips should fit these bags. You cut the tip off the bag so ANY tip should fit.

No bags needed for cupcakes, you just place a little butter or spray into a each mold and the mixture of the mold half.Read the instructions for cooking good.The vanilla recipe has an error

The traditional way to close ice candies is just to knot the open end. You can use electric sealers but it would be hard to maintain the fullness of the bag and it might even puncture it and this will just be messy. (These bags are not as sturdy as the ice pops you see in the grocery stores.

No, you would need to cut the tip off with scissors yourself. But the top of the pastry bag is sort of slanted.

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!! :-)

yes Lindsey you can use these bags without a pastry tip I do this often especially for purees and jelly filling.

You'd have to put the pastry bag filled with frosting through a regular rubber band and then twist the rubber band and pull the bag with frosting in it through again to keep it tight, which would be messy and kind of hard to do. This thing lets you wrap the rubber band around the top of the frosting in the bag, and then the little arrow thing hooks onto the loop you've created. Hard to describe. They work great, though!

I've never made donuts before but I would suspect the bag alone should be sufficient. It comes with a narrow enough opening for a standard piping tip that you can cut to desired opening.
