Does anyone use the Doboard for Kitchen Collectables? I recently ordered one and it just arrived. The board is a high quality wood with a beautiful sealed finish however, the rolling pin is very smooth but with an unfinished finish (if that makes sense). I am concerned about the rolling pin absorbing flavors from the dough and the butter and shortening soaking into the rolling pin. Please let me know if you have this board, if this has been an issue for you and how it was resolved. Thanks so much cookie buddies

hi,

i got this from sur la table and i love using it. i have used it about 15 or so times but i haven't used the pin right on the dough yet. i have been rolling it out between two sheets of parchment paper. i hope someone can answer this i would like to know for the future too. the one thing that i have been concerned about with the board is changing the thickness. it seems like it would be easy to mess up the alignment.

manya

OMG, I forgot about rolling it between the parchment sheets! You are absolutely right! No issue at all

I too use the doughboard for my rolled cookies. I love it. Consistent, and clean up is a breeze becuase I also roll it out between parchment paper. Try making one of those cookies that is rolled up in a log (kind of has a swirl in it when it is cut) It makes the perfect square to roll up. Just fill all the way to the corners and you will be amazed how simple it is to make the perfect cookie. Have fun. I did try once before to roll out something with just the rolling pin and it stuck. Oh well, I love my doughboard anyway.

I have had my board for a little over a year and like rolling out my dough on the parchment but I dont cover the dough with parchment. I sprinkle the top of my dough with powdered sugar and works like a charm. I make sugar and lemon flavored dough and the rolling pin is in as good a shape as the day I got it. No smell or taste to it. Happy baking
