Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

the bakers pin is not tapered on the ends.

Sox, why are handles annoying?

I've never had a non-handled pin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I usually use the one with handles--I don't see much of a downside. What's baker's style?

I think the silicone is great, but I think if I were to get a different baking pin I'd be more concerned with something I could keep cold.

We have both - and I thought handled would be easier bc/I'm carpal prone.

But my hands are small, and it turns out it's easier to use the pin to roll, than the handles - I know that sounds strange, but there's more control and less tight grip required. so usually, I roll without the handles... but that's just the way I roll...

DH? he likes handles.

...

ok. that sounds wrong. to both of us.

what? he bakes. Pies.

damn.

what?

I like being able to keep my hand position constant in relationship to the pin, which is why I prefer the handles.

Do you win a pony? Because otherwise I'm not seeing the upside.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've got a marble rolling pin which I like the weight of. I think it's supposed to be good for staying cold, but I never make anything temperature sensitive, so I don't know if it really makes a difference.
