A completely disposable cooking apparatus used for preparing, filling assembling and decorating of foods, that is a one-piece disposable construction, comprising an elongated bag with a soft side wall, an open first end through which food material can be inserted into the bag and a second end that is closed by a tapered discharge orifice (also sometimes referred to as a nozzle or a tip). The orifice has a first end in contact with the second end of the bag and a distal end away from the bag. The cross-sectional area of the orifice at the first end is greater than the cross-sectional area of the orifice at the distal end. The orifice is made of a material so that it is capable of being cut at any point along its longitudinal axis to yield an exit opening or hole with a desired size.

The device of claim 8, wherein said orifice has an outside wall and cutting guides applied to said outside wall of said orifice along its length, indicated by scoring or coloring and corresponding to a preset orifice hole or exit opening size. 10. The device of claim 8, further including reservoirs as color delivery means inside either said envelope or said orifice for allowing color to be added to the food material as it passes through said envelope and orifice. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein said envelope and said orifice are made from elastic material. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein said envelope is made from polyethylene. 13. The device of claim 11, wherein said orifice is made from ethylene vinyl acetate. 14. The device of claim 11, wherein said envelope is made from polyethylene and said orifice is made from ethylene vinyl acetate. 15. The device of claim 11, wherein said envelope is made from 0.1 mm thick polyethylene and said orifice is made from 1.02 mm thick ethylene vinyl acetate. 16. The device of claim 11, wherein said elastic material used in the manufacture of said orifice allows said orifice to expand in order to pass lumps within such food material through said second end and then allows said orifice to return to its original shape so as not to interfere with further operation of said protrusions. 17. The device of claim 11, wherein said elastic material used in the manufacture of said orifice allows said orifice to be compressed upstream of said second end in order to break up lumps within such food material in order to pass such broken up lumps through said second end and then allows said orifice to return to its original shape so as not to interfere with further operation of said protrusions. 18. A one-piece completely disposable device for use in cooking, adapted to dispense food material therefrom in a controlled manner for preparing, filling, assembling and decorating purposes, and to then be discarded, said device comprising: a one-piece elongated envelope having: (A) a side wall; (B) a first end capable of being opened for inserting such food material into said envelope; and (C) a second end for dispensing such food material; said second end having an integral, discharge orifice with an opening through which such food material said envelope upon application of external pressure to said side wall of said envelope; said orifice having: (i) an internal wall; (ii) an axis having a length and running parallel to a flow of such food material through said orifice; (iii) varying cross sectional dimensions along the length of said axis; and protrusions extending inwardly from said internal wall for treating such food material as it passes through said orifice upstream of said opening; said protrusions comprising ridges that both: (a) extend inwardly from said internal wall in a direction perpendicular to said axis; and (b) are disposed at select points along the length of said axis; wherein said orifice is made of an elastic material configured to allow said orifice to be initially cut at an initial cutline along its longitudinal axis to yield an exit opening or hole with a desired opening size with a predetermined cross-sectional dimension or size; and to be further cut at further cutlines to permit selection of the desired opening size and to control dispensing a greater amount of the food material out-through the discharge orifice, wherein regardless of the point of cut, said inwardly extending ridges insure that the food material is treated upstream of said opening before said food material is expelled from said envelope through said opening. 19.
