This product is amazing. It does it exactly what it says. It's easy to use and places less stress on your hands because you don't have to apply as much pressure to the pin. If you do a lot of baking which requires rolling of any type of dough this is a great investment. It's quick and easy - I used to use 4 pans at a time to bake cookies and often found myself behind (one pan would be ready to come out of the oven and I would not have another ready). With this I was able to use 6 pans at a time and stay on track. I actually cut and rolled out my cookies in a little over half the time it used to take me and I always had a pan to go in the oven the minute one came out.

For anyone who thinks this makes a mess I have two words - PARCHMENT PAPER! All you have to do is cut and fold a piece of parchment paper to fit the inner (lower) part of the board. Pull the paper under grooves on either end. Tape the end to the bottom, pull through to the other side so it's taught and adjust so that the parchment lies smooth. Roll your cookies out between that and another piece of parchment. No extra flour, no mess and you don't have to fully wash the board every time you use it since it does not come in contact with dough. Because you don't use extra flour you can re-roll your dough without the worry of it becoming tough.

I also highly recommend using a silicone baking sheet such as Silpat or Exopat. You can reuse your cookie sheets without having to grease them or wash them in between batches.

I made cut-out cookies this Christmas using the traditional wooden board and rolling pin with handles and spacer bands to determine height. Today I used the Dobord Set instead. What a difference! I was finished in half the time. I was skeptical about the dowel-style rolling pin as I had never used one. However, together with the Dobord, it flattened and rolled much quicker than the traditional style. It also took less effort which anyone with arthritis can appreciate. The Dobard is easy to set up and the entire process worked exactly as described by the manufacturer. I couldn't be more pleased. I didn't find clean-up any more involved than cleaning the usual wooden board or whatever surface one is using. Storage could be a problem for someone with limited space. I was concerned about this as well. However, after using the Dobord it is well worth finding a place to store it.

This is one of those "Gee, why didn't I think of that" products. I have never had so much fun baking. Everything is perfect. The adjustments are a no-brainer and it cleans up really easy.

This is the kind of silly gadget that is harder to use and clean up than just doing the task the old fashioned way. Storage is also a problem. Waste of time and money

I own this product and use it often. If you have a lot of counter space then maybe you just need rolling pin rings to produce evenly rolled out dough to a precise measurement. If like me you never have enough counter space, then this is a must have. It allows me to contain the area I need to keep "dusted" between batches and I can move this from the counter to work on something else - making good use of limited space on the counter tops.
