Game of Thrones Rolling Pin: What Is Baked May Never Fry

Posted on by

I am annoyed at this season of Game of Thrones. Other than Jon Snow coming back, literally no questions have been answered for me that I had after last season. With the season finale coming soon, you might need some eats for your geek friends who are coming over to watch with you.

If you like your friends well enough to bake goodies for them, you need this Game of Thrones embossed rolling pin to make your sweets. I like fresh-baked cookies, but typically I stick to the dough that comes in a tube at the grocery store.

The pin has the name of the great houses on it along with their sigils. When you roll out the dough, it embosses the names into it, though if you are anything like me, the chances of being able to read any of that stuff after the cookies are baked is slim. Cut-out cookies always exit my oven looking more like a blob of nothing than what Pinterest thinks they should be.

Get your own GoT rolling pin on Etsy for about $35.

Solid Cold Rolling Pin

Posted on by

I’m fond of making pies and one of the biggest challenges with rolling the choux pastry dough is maintaining a smooth, clean base despite the heavy butter incorporation. Crafted from anodized aluminum and refrigerated to the perfect temperature, this chilled Rolling Pin helps roll out the perfect size crust thanks to the laser engraved graduated measurements. Marked both in both inches and millimeters, the slick non-stick surface keeps the dough cold and easy to roll.

Recommended to be hand washed only, this pin is up on my wishlist!

Dimensions: 21″x 1.75″
Weight: 1 lb

Dinosaur and Robot Rolling Pins Should Be How You Spend Your Dough

Posted on by

Dinosaurs all over your cookies. Robots all over your pie crust. Sound good? That could be your new reality thanks to these awesome rolling pins. Just ask your mom or wife to make treats with it, because you suck at baking cookies. By you, I mean me. Seriously, there would be flour everywhere.

Everything tastes better with robots and dinosaurs on them. These are great for making treats for kids parties. By kids, I mean me again. By parties, I mean every day.

Keio University’s Kinect-based Haptic VR system lets you roll your own face flat (video)

Keio University's Kinectbased Haptic VR system lets you roll flat your own face

A research team at Keio University has built a fun haptic virtual reality system that enables you to manipulate pictures with a rolling pin. A vertically mounted Kinect takes a 3D image that is then displayed on the projection surface. Using the rolling pin, the image can be rolled over and flattened as if it was dough -- with a series of motor cranks inside the implement to replicate the necessary feedback so you can feel what it'd be like to iron out your own face. It's been designed as a modern-day update to the penny-squashing machines you found in theme parks, except with slightly more grotesqueness. You can watch the face-mashing in glorious color after the break.
