Does anyone use either of these products? I would love to know if it would be worth it for even dough. Thanks

I haven't used either of those, but I do have a set of the rings that I use with my regular rolling pin.

I would love to have a doboard, I think, but just don't have the storage space for it.

The rolling pin takes up much less space, and since you'd have to use a rolling pin with the doboard anyway, I figured I'd just keep using the rolling pin without buying the board.

I roll my cookie dough between sheets of parchment, and it works very well.

I would someday like to get a longer rolling pin, maybe the accu-roller you mentioned, because I'd be able to roll a lot more dough in each batch than with the 12 inch pin I have now. By the time I get the rings on the ends of the pin, I'm only rolling a piece of dough about 10 inches wide, which isn't really a problem, LOL, just takes a bit longer to do.

hth!

Thanks Laura,
Maybe I'll just get the rings for the rolling pin. Can you get these rings in a store?
I think the accu-roller is 20" long, so that would be good. It costs $38.95 at kitchengifts.com. You are right about storing the dobord, I don't have room.
Thanks again,
Leslie

I think I've seen them in "regular" stores, but I'm not sure. I bought mine at a local place that has EVERYTHING you can imagine (www.junglejims.com) and I'm pretty sure I've seen them at Sugarcraft and Cincinnati Cake and Candy, which are the two cake stores in my area.

Seems to me I paid about $8 or so for mine.

I have the accu-roll pin and love it. I couldn't decide between the two but the more I looked into it, the doboard takes up more space, you have to adjust the height with pins, and I was worried that I would end up breaking the top part of it by accident. So I decided to go with the acu-roll and am very happy with it. They give you parchment too to practice rolling out between sheets and I won't do it any other way again. Much neater and my cookies are always perfectly even now. HTH

bed bath and beyond has the rings for the rolling pin, the thickest one is great for making cookies thick enough for putting on sticks.

I also have a set of rings. I love them! As for a longer rolling pin, I saw on one of the Food Network Challenges that someone used a PVC pipe to roll out their fondant.

Let me know how those rings work Leslie--maybe it's something I need to purchase.
