But! There are two birthday presents with a included free plastic scraper in
front. The quiches are some sort of bacon, egg, cheese, spinach type deal.
Baby spinach lasts a long time in a ziplock in the crisper, and it´s gone
now. We didn´t lose a leaf.
Can you believe that my SIL, who does all the pies, didn´t know what a
French rolling pin was? After one use, she seems to like it a lot. Old dog.
New tricks. :-)

I bought one 3 or 4 years ago and haven't used the conventional
"cylindrical" one since.

My wife bought me a French rolling pin a few years ago. I failed to get
very excited about it because I already had a rolling pin that I liked.
I gave it a try and liked it. I threw out the old one.

I wouldn't have thrown it out, both are useful for different things. I
have 4, they take very little room.
A standard rolling pin is better for pasta (noodles).
The one I use most often is large and heavy, with ball bearings.
One day you will be sorry you threw your old rolling pin away, the
older ones were made of very nice hard maple, a large diameter hard
maple dowel can be used for many things, can make a good pusher for a
meat grinder. Can make a couple of excellent wooden mallets. Today
all those nice wooden tools are made of cheap plastic.

Nice. You can eat AND have target practice for killing them lefties.

Those imprinted silicon mats are pretty sweet. Congrats on that one. I can't say how useful the plastic scraper is. You can though.

I like the presents too, and I bet she'll like that mat. But why would he want
to kill the lefties?? What have you got against us?? Ed and I want to know.

Plastic scrapers such as shown in the pic are quite handy when dealing
with bread dough. Helps in stretch and fold while proofing and assists
in getting the proofed dough out of the bowl.

I use a metal version for dividing up dough into loaves or rolls.
