Bonjour,
Dans une recette de pâtisserie :
Prepare a 900g sheet of dacquoise, cool and cut out circles with a 5cm of diameter cutter.
Prepare the reconstructed hazelnut earth and form discs with a 7.5cm diameter ring.
"Préparer une couche de dacquoise de 900 g, laisser refroidir et découper des cercles à l’aide d’un emporte-pièce de 5 cm de diamètre."
"Préparer la base à la noisette et former des cercles à l’aide d’un emporte-pièce de 7,5 cm."
Est-ce que le terme "emporte-pièce" conviendrait ici ? Comprenez-vous la même chose ?
Merci

English term (edited):
cutter/ring
Selected
emporte-pièce
Oddly enough, the pâtissiers with whom I work do indeed use the same term for both a 'cutter' and a 'ring', even though In EN I am more used to 2 quite different devices.
Very often, FR 'emporte-pièces' are straight sided with no rolled top edge, and so can function as a 'cutter' either way up, and equally well as a ring; not so kind on your fingers, though!

Here are some typical examples, which as you can see, can fulfil both funstions:

Yes, it sounds like the rather squishy hazelnut base is being shaped into circles slightly large than the cut-out dacquoise, so they will presumably overhang and possibly 'droop' over the edges a bit.

Didier Fourcot
: An "emporte-pièce" should have a sharp edge, however most are not for pastry, because this is not needed; I have some though for complicated shapes (stars, animals...) that have a rolled edge and a sharp edge

Merci, Didier ! Yes, I have all types: some with two 'sharp' edges, some with a sharp edge and a crinkly one, and some with a sharp edge and a rolled one.

Merci, Sandra ! Even though 2 distinct utensils do exist, in actual practice they are often used and referred to interchangeably.

emporte-pièce/cercle à pâtisserie
À mon sens, les deux termes anglais désignent deux choses différentes. Le cutter sert à couper, comme son nom l'indique, mais le ring sert à dresser des gâteaux individuels, ce qui est logique puisque ici, il sert à agglomérer la hazelnut earth (qui est une poudre) pour former une base ou un élément d'un gâteau à étages.

ring : cercle à pâtisserie

: Even though 2 distinct utensils do indeed exist, in actual practice they are often used and referred to interchangeably — curiously, more so in FR even than in EN! / I was referring to the French professional kitchens in which I've trained and worked.

Merci. As for the two utensils being referred to interchangeably, not in my (French) kitchen! ;-)

Il faudrait donc dissocier en deux questions.
