They are just rings about 3" in diameter a maybe 1 1/4" high that some
people use to fry eggs in perfect circles. The first time I made them I
used cookie/biscuit cutters, but had to use several sizes. Someone here
suggested using a salmon or tuna can with the top and bottom removed.

I encourage you to give them a try. They are so good and so easy to make.
