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?

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've got a marble rolling pin which I like the weight of. I think it's supposed to be good for staying cold, but I never make anything temperature sensitive, so I don't know if it really makes a difference.
