Different types of cooking tools and utensils are designed to make specific types of cooking easier and quicker. You can substitute most tools. For example, if you are cutting biscuits, you do not have to have a biscuit cutter; you can use the top of a thin glass. For cutting shortening into pastry dough, you do not have to have a pastry cutting tool, but can use a fork or two knives. Specific tools just make things a little easier.
