The ridges on the wheels are particularly useful for producing a patterned edge rather than simply slicing the dough.
Definitely Not a Can Opener
A traditional manual can opener normally has a cutting wheel and a mechanism designed to grip the rim of a can while the handle turns.
This tool doesn’t have that kind of mechanism. Instead, its paired rotating wheels are characteristic of pastry cutters and crimpers.
So if you were about to attack a can of beans with it, put the can down! 😄
