Thanks MarthaJones for the info on your ROLLING PIN it sounds great- being that the one thing I hsvent done yet is pastryas Im afraid I will not be able to rollit out evenly so this sounds Ideal for s beginner pastry roller like me I actually have sn old Rolling Pin I bought in a 2nd hand shop (St Vincents Charity store) and you put ice into the roller part to keep the dough cold Also bought s Pasta Maker but after initially being very Gung Ho I wiped myself out with enthusiasm-COLLAPSE
I'm usually to impatient to watch videos. A 19 second video is one I can embrace...especially as I need to roll my pate brisee! Thanks.
(PS -- re investing in a rolling pin, I like the using a wine or olive oil bottle that you can recycle instead of having one more thing in the Messy Kitchen Tools drawer.)
For a while after I moved out on my own, I didn't have a rolling pin and it was a huge pain in the ass. It's the kind of tool that you don't need often, but when you need it, you really need it.
You may be able to roll dough with a bottle in a pinch but personally I like my adjustable rolling pin. It has 2mm/6mm/10mm adjustment discs so I always get the perfect result. I got mine at Ashton Green if anyone is interested.
Wine bottles work OK, closet rods work OK, but why not invest in a rolling pin? Didn't you just pay $2 for a cup of coffee? By the time you learn to use it, you'll be glad you have it.
