Safety & Care Instructions

• FDA-approved, food-grade PLA filament
• Printed using stainless-steel parts and specifically designated as food-safe by the manufacturer
• Made in our Seattle workshop using dedicated 3D-printing equipment

• Use only for cutting raw cookie dough — not for baking, molding, or high-heat applications
• Brief food contact only — designed for cutting dough, not for long-term food storage
• Keep away from heat — do not use in the oven or expose to direct heat, as this may cause deformation or release of substances
• Inspect regularly — check for cracks or damage before each use and discontinue use if any damage is found

Hand wash only, following these guidelines:

• Use warm, soapy water (not hot or boiling)
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh detergents that may scratch the surface
• Do NOT place in the dishwasher — high heat may warp or damage the cutters
• Allow cutters to air dry completely before storing
• Optional, for extra peace of mind: you can occasionally soak in a mild bleach solution (1 tsp bleach per quart of water), then rinse thoroughly. Everyday warm, soapy water is all most cutters need.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (UV exposure can weaken the plastic)
• Keep away from acidic or fatty foods during storage, as prolonged exposure may degrade the PLA material
• Avoid stacking heavy items on top of cutters to prevent warping

Understanding 3D-printed food tools

While we use food-safe PLA filament, it's important to understand that 3D printing creates microscopic surface textures that can harbor food particles or bacteria if not properly cleaned. This is why thorough washing before and after each use is essential.

Material considerations

• Most 3D-printing filaments may contain additives or colorants not specifically certified for food contact
• We use materials labeled "food-grade" by the manufacturer, but actual food safety depends on proper handling and cleaning
• Printer components that contact our filament are selected to minimize safety risks, though our equipment is not industrial or fully sterilized

Our cookie cutters are made in our Seattle, Washington workshop using:

• Professional-grade 3D printers dedicated to food-safe products
• FDA-approved PLA filament from reputable manufacturers
• Quality-control processes to ensure consistent output

As with all home and small-batch food preparation tools, our products are not produced in a sterile commercial facility. We take care to maintain clean equipment and use food-safe materials, but cannot guarantee a completely sterile environment.
