I think there is a lot of potential here. Hmmmm, a couple of birthdays in October, and of course, you know what is coming too.

So, what do you think, can this be used without dough sticking in the crevices.? I read a couple of pages of reviews. People seemed to love it, but none addressed the issue of dough getting caught in the design.

Cleaning it wouldn't be easy, that is a given and something I wouldn't mind dealing with, but I wonder about the rolling out part.

Cute but useless?

Wondering why they are only sold on ETSY these days. Other places
used to sell them. My opinion is the pin will emboss just fine if the
dough isn't too sticky, but it wouldn't hurt to season before using.

I can't see why it wouldn't work or how it could be hard to clean. Just use
a brush if anything sticks. I also can't see why anyone would want one but,
that's beside the point.

I remember them being around when I was a kid. Can't remember where I saw
them though.

Maybe, but I want one with my name on :-) Named pies, how could it be
wrong....

Season a rolling pin? How does one do that? Just a good and repetitive dose of flour would do the trick.
Rolling pins similar to these have been common for decades among Norwegian and other ethnic
bakers. The designs are the only thing new about these.

I use cooking oil... it's just like oiling any other raw wood... a
butcher block, butcher block table etc. Flour comes when you're
actually using it to roll something

I think it would be best to use a normal flat rolling pin to stretch
out the dough, then use the engraved pin to roll a pattern on at the
end. Like maybe the top crust of a pie.

"Flat" rolling pin? How is that possible?

Absolutely! Otherwise you wouldn't have an embossed pattern, you'd
just have a mess.

I have never "seasoned" a rolling pin. Just use bench flour to stop the
dough from sticking.

My rolling pin has been well-seasoned by decades of rolling out buttery
pastry.

Exactly and I suggested a way to fast track that process.

I think they look like great fun, but I'm not a baker. That rolling pin
might encourage me to try my hand at baking. Looks like fun!

I think so too, Janet. My sister and brother-in-law make lots of pies during the holidays and I think they will love this.

Ya, Norwegian, that is one of the reasons I want to get these.

This is the first time I have seen them personalized.

It looks like fun to me too! I am not one to buy useless kitchen thingees, but this would be cute even just to display it.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Do you mean the item that you use to press the design onto the cookie after you have cut it out? I have a couple of these which ares the traditional Norwegian rosemaling design.

She means she can't be bothered with stuff like that, but I do think
cookies that are cut after the dough was embossed with the pin would
be cute. There would never be a question about who made them.
