Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

The HIC Authentic Amish Cake Tester is a more accurate and authentic way to see if cakes, brownies, cheesecakes, and quick breads are baked to perfection.

Made in the United States of America from natural corn husks; straw texture holds raw batter better than metal; more precise than metal cake testers or the toothpick test.

Simply pull a strand from the straw broom and insert it into the center of the cake; if the straw comes out clean, the cake is done.

The length of the straws is approximately 3 inches. 5-inch long; reaches deeper into cakes than toothpicks for greater precision; does not leave large holes like knives or forks.

Straws that can be used only once; hangs near the oven; safe for non-stick cake pans; won't scratch surfaces; disposable for easy cleanup

Questions & Answers

Is there a "core" to it in any way? I was considering converting it to a polissoir for wood polishing). ?

I just added a couple of photos to my review from February 26th, 2016 that show the cork in some detail. Although it appears to be a continuation of the corn husks, the area above the metal band is also cork.

The "broom" is described as being 8" long, but how long do the testers last after you've broken one off?

The tester is approximately 6" tall. The broom tester was given to a friend, who thought it was a thoughtful present. I used to have a longer broom, but this one is just as good.

Is there a magnet attached to it?

Mine didn't come with a magnet. This item did not perform as it was supposed to.

Outstanding Cake Taster! One of these has been in my possession for at least 20 years

5/5

They're long-lasting and easy to operate. I'm not going to bake with anything else.

Gramma used to do it

5/5

For my kitchen, it's just the right size. It's so simple to store and get to. The usual mad dash for something to check doneness is eliminated.

Definitely preferable to a toothpick or a piece of steel

5/5

This is one of my wife's favorites, and it's one of my favorites as well. Much better than steel testers and lasts a lot longer than a toothpick. And cute.

5/5

This is the second one that I've purchased. The first was a present for me, and the second was a present for someone else. It's a lot better than using toothpicks.

The core appears to be hollow, but the appearance is full

3/5

I mistook it for a full brush, but it only covers the brush's outer edges; the middle is empty. It's also rather short, but that doesn't stop me from using it. br>I'm sorry, but I'm not going to buy anything else.

Slim strands that are accurate for the doneness test without leaving a large hole in your baked goods are a must-have for bakers

This is a fantastic kitchen accessory

5/5

Thirty years ago, I received one of these. This was a gift for our daughter, so I bought it for her. law. They perform admirably. After a few years, I figured out that I didn't have to remove the entire straw. If you do, the metal band will eventually fail to hold them together, and you will have to use a rubber band; it is preferable to break off a straw for testing. Because this isn't a particularly long cake tester, breaking off a piece will give you approximately. four inches in length It's not going to work for something like a Bundt cake because it's too deep. But it's the best for regular cakes and muffins.
