Ateco Open Star Piping Tip

This tip is compatible with standard disposable piping bags, reusable canvas bags, and silicone bags. You may need a standard-sized coupler to secure it, though it can also be dropped directly into the end of a trimmed bag.

While the stainless steel construction is rust-resistant and dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing with a small brush to ensure the delicate star teeth remain clean and free of dried icing.

An open star tip, like the 1M, has teeth that point straight out, which creates a wider, more defined groove in the icing. A closed star tip has teeth that curve inward, resulting in a more deeply fluted, tighter pattern.

Yes, the 1M is widely considered a staple for beginners because it is very forgiving. It creates professional-looking rosettes and swirls with minimal pressure control, making it a great starting point for decorating cupcakes.

The tip is crafted from high-quality, rust-resistant stainless steel. As long as it is dried thoroughly after washing and stored in a dry place, it will maintain its finish and performance for years.
