Ooohh...rolling pin question: the ones with handles, the french pin, or the baker's style pin.

Which is best?

ATK likes the french pin, as I recall. What's the difference between that and the baker's pin?

the bakers pin is not tapered on the ends.

Sox, why are handles annoying?

I've never had a non-handled pin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I usually use the one with handles--I don't see much of a downside. What's baker's style?

I think the silicone is great, but I think if I were to get a different baking pin I'd be more concerned with something I could keep cold.

We have both - and I thought handled would be easier bc/I'm carpal prone.

But my hands are small, and it turns out it's easier to use the pin to roll, than the handles - I know that sounds strange, but there's more control and less tight grip required. so usually, I roll without the handles... but that's just the way I roll...

DH? he likes handles.

...

ok. that sounds wrong. to both of us.

what? he bakes. Pies.

damn.

what?

there used to be one you could fill w/ water & freeze.

I like being able to keep my hand position constant in relationship to the pin, which is why I prefer the handles.

Do you win a pony? Because otherwise I'm not seeing the upside.

I mean...kitchen implements...conversation is begging to be entendred en double.
