AtecoLady Lock Stick Stainless Steel 6-3/8" L x 1 7/8" Dia. Tapered To 3/16"

I didn’t like this product because it was not made well . Very thin and flimsy.

Made of very strong stainless steel, almost impossible to break, well worth the money if you're a chef or create custom recipes.

perfect for my project . . .

I am sure these will probably work very well, but a less expensive alternative, and one I have been using for many many years, is using a dowel rod cut into 5 inch lengths. I use a 1/2 inch dowel rod covered in aluminum foil.
