It's slightly more tricky to steer.
But the advantage is that you can have cookies while flying

I’m gonna have to try that out. Usually a shorter rake makes it easier but I accept not all brooms fly the same.

I've been thinking of getting these for a few years now. Would help with gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies or any other roll goods. Maybe an early Christmas gift to myself.

That's a nifty idea!

I saw one of those adjustable rolling pins in a youtube video.
They seem perfect. Especially for someone like myself who has used a rolling pin maybe a dozen times in my life and two of those were in the past 30 days. That would certainly take the guesswork out.

I'm thinking uniform thickness rolled cookies.

I'm thinking when I rolled the pie dough out for that Italian pastry and had no idea I rolled it out too thin the first time.
I need some training wheels so I don't get carried away.

I hate playing with homemade crust. I usually use Pillsbury. But I do have a good recipe I use sometimes.

Do you go by hand or use a pasta machine?
I got a hand cranked one (that doesn't require a broom stick)

You use a pasta machine for pie crust?

You use a pasta machine for pie crust?

I got it mounted in place, so I use it for a lot of things that require rolling out dough

No pasta machine here.
By hand. That's why I said the pin with thickness wheels would be perfect for me. You wouldn't even have to worry about easing up when you got near the edges.

I have a similar thing, it has different thickness silicone bands to place on the ends.
It is good. The only downside I’ve found is if you want to roll a piece of dough wider than the rolling pins width between your discs/bands you can’t.
So the length of the rolling pin matters.

Ah, now I understand the appeal to the thing...

I've got a French rolling pin I've been using for decades and am pretty good at eyeballing distances and such. I like SandwichShortOfAPicnic observation about the length.

I got my Jo Jo Duo peeler today.
I'm a little bummed. Or dense. I'm not understanding how to get a regular peel?

According to the Amazon description:

"Julienne Peeler, Vegetable Kitchen Peeler and Potato-Eye Remover,"​

I'm not sure if this was supposed to come with another blade or what?
What makes this a duo peeler if it only peels julienne style?
