A rolling pin with a built-in flour duster?
I think it's a pretty slick  :!:

don't really think it is necessary though the rolling pin looks nice and slick.

I think it looks pretty slick, too.

However, I got The Bread Baker's Apprentice for Christmas and I'm on my way to becoming a purist.   :P

I just pulled a fresh loaf of rosemary bread out of the oven, we made it per DD's request  :heartbeat:

If I were in the market for a rolling pin, I might consider it.  But as it is I use my rolling pin for rolling out my IT band more than for baking, so I'm probably not the target market for this product.

You could put Icy Heat in the four duster.  :P

I suck at baking, but I saw something on Americas Test Kitchen that lead me to believe a lot of bakers prefer a tapered rolling pin.   :shrug:
People put a lot less effort into picking apart evidence that confirms what they already believe.

That website is so fun!

I think that rolling pin looks like something my mom would buy for me, and I would never use. I would pack it away with my cookie gun.

That looks like a total pain in the ass to clean.  So you fill it with flour every time you want to use it?

No, I wouldn't. It looks really flimsy and I really don't ever have an issue with flouring a board. But, I'm not really a baker.
