Joseph Joseph Adjustable Rolling Pin

I got a call one evening, prior to the holidays. Check out this rolling pin, you NEED to buy it, my friend said. I have a rolling pin, what do I need with another one? This one has discs you add to the side to measure your dough thickness. The price was absolutely amazing! I scored it at a low, low price of $6.38! Yes, that's correct! A savings of almost $20! Now, let me just say, I love to bake - biscuits, breads, cinnamon rolls, etc. When recipe called for X inches I'd do one of two things - I'd either guess or I'd take a wooden ruler and measure - what a pain in the @$$. The beautiful thing about this rolling pin is that there is no more guess work involved. You just place the discs on for the thickness you need, and you roll out your dough - it's just that easy. The pin is just as easy to clean up as any other wooden rolling pin. I handwash the plastic discs, but I'm sure they could probably be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher. As for the only downside, because of the width of the rolling pin (13.5 in.) add a little when the discs are on, you can't roll out wide pieces of dough. Most of what I bake don't require rolling out over 12 inches, but for things like big batch cookies, we separate our dough and roll out, problem solved. I love this rolling pin and wish I'd bought more to gift when they were priced so low before the holidays. If I ever see them that cheap again, I will be sure to buy some to give as wedding presents or Christmas gifts!
