The 5 Best metal tube forms (2023 reviews)

The craftit edibles metal tube form's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. They are not only large, they are extremely large tubes for extremely large cannoli. The molds can be sharp. If you use the supplied cutter, and put the cannoli dough on there just right, they come out essentially the same size as the tube. At the end of the cooking process, the finished pastry will be about 3.5 x 1 inch diameter. These shells will end up in the garbage, because there is no way you are getting them off without breaking them.

They are great size, easy to roll.
