Gourmet Kustom Kutter Food Garnishing Tool (NIP).

A garnishing tool that looks like a cookie cutter but is much more. It cuts out intricate designs of a butterfly vegetables and other foods.

Inspired by her traveling experiences in the Orient, Karen Wolters, who currently resides in Taiwan, designed Kustom Kutter. She attaches the cutters to two stainless-steel plates, which can be used together or independently, depending on the softness or hardness of the food to be cut out. One plate carries the design of the outer shape while on the second plate there are holes that correspond to decorative interior cutouts.

Both plates may be used for carving firmer foods such as potatoes, daikon (Japanese radish), hard zucchini, apples, pears or watermelon rinds. Carrots, turnips, beets, sweet potatoes and rutabagas have to be slightly cooked before using.

To use, the cutter is pushed into the vegetable without going through the opposite side of the vegetable. The cutter is removed and the vegetable is sliced to desired thickness. With each slice, the design falls out.

For a pretty effect, two types of vegetables of contrasting colors could be matched, using the leftover vegetable "stencil" and replacing the cutout with another vegetable.

On foods that are either too soft (such as breads and pasteurized cheeses) or too hard (such as citrus peels) to accept the intricate design of both plates, the external outline plate may be used alone.
