Baklawa Cutting Guide

This ingenious guide helps us cut even, perfectly-shaped diamonds for baklawa (baklava)! You won't believe how lovely your diamonds can be using Maureen's Baklawa Cutting Guide. Crafted on heavy wax paper, the guide is 20 x 28 inches. Here's how it works: Set your 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan (filled with phyllo and nuts) over the pan drawing on the guide.  Use the arrows along the top to guide your knife cutting rows from top of pan to bottom. Use the arrows along the side to guide your knife cutting the rows on the diagonal. Turn the pan to finish these bias cuts with the guide. Pour the clarified butter over the assembly per my recipe (from my book or on my recipe site), then continue with the recipe from there. Product contains 3 folded paper guides wrapped in a custom band.
