Definitely awkward at first,but once you get use to it works well for all types of dough.The adapters are clearly marked ,just put in a zip lock so they don't get lost.Overall a good quality roller just not easy for everyone to use.This rolling pin is pretty easy to use and cleans up well. It even had guides on the ends so your rolled out dough is just the right thickness. It is made of stainless steel so will remain a little cooler than a standard wooden rolling pin. I have always used a rolling pin with handles so this is a change for me. It took a little getting used to but I think it will serve me well. I know many people who use a rolling pin without handles so for them this one would be a breeze. I love the rings for helping get the right thickness of dough! Watch out Martha Stewart!!!!I love this! When trying to make chicken and dumplings it is always difficult to get the dumpling thin. With this, I just put the size disc I want the dumplings to be on the end of the roller and I don't have to fight with the dough. The roller itself has measurements on it(on both sides). So when I make a pie I can quickly see if I have a 8inch pie shell. Bonus- it's blue my favorite color.For some reason, my daughters think that I can bake because I can cook. But any good cook knows that baking is more of a science and cooking is more of a feeling. Unfortunately, I haven't discouraged them from thinking I can bake and store bought baked goods just don't hit the spot.Anyway, I am going to use this beauty to help me make homemade cinnamon rolls. My next project will be sugar cookie and gingerbread cookies. These recipes call for the dough to be of equal depth so that everything bakes evenly. This little gadget has measurements in fraction of an inch and millimeters. It's very easy to operate and easy to clean since I'm a clean as you go kind of girl anyways.All in all, I believe this will do the job as long as I keep track of all the pieces.This is a very nice rolling pin.If you've ever baked cookies and had to roll out the dough to 1/4" thickness for baking, this is the ultimate tool for you. There are 4 different thickness plates ranging from 3/8" down to 1/16" (10mm to 2mm) so you will never need to guess when you're at the right thickness, and never have uneven dough. The rolling pin is also a very generous length and has markings on it to note how wide the dough beneath it is (if you need to roll out a pie crust or pizza).Overall, this is a great rolling pin for anyone that likes to bake cutout cookies or anything requiring a certain thickness of dough.my hub grabbed this for me to help me make dog’s treats the same thickness so they all bake right, worked very well at that. wish this thing wasn’t so long though, really is on huge side!! easy to wash up..This rolling pin is adjustable so you can hand roll very consistent doughs. The pin is light weight, easy to clean, easy to set the thickness and an overall winner.Out with the old wood bulky hard to store heavy to use pin and in with this one and make life one bit easier.This rolling pin is full sized. It works great and is worth the money to get it. I love the plastic discs for the thickness.
