Used it to roll a pumpkin cake log. Some of the cake stuck to the cloth because I didn’t put enough powdered sugar on it (on purpose), and I let it cool off rolled up in the pastry cloth before I made my filling. I stuck the cloth in warm water and it was really easy to rinse out and clean. I really didn’t even soak it first. The only problem was I still had to scrub off some cloth fuzz balls, but it really was easy to do. I’m assuming that it had fuzz balls because it was the first time I cleaned it.

The cloth is so big that I folded the cloth in half and floured one side to make the biscuits. Then I folded the cloth in the opposite direction and sprinkled powdered sugar on it for the pumpkin roll. The cloth fold in half was still big enough and sturdy enough that I could just cover my 10″ x 15″ jellyroll pan and easily flip the cake over.

I like that it’s made in the USA. The pastry cloth (20″ x 24″) is made out of a canvas-like material & has sewn edges. I haven’t used the rolling pin cover yet, but it seems to be made out of a stretchy kind of knit. The knit reminds me of the material used by my hospital to make a hat for my newborn babies 19+ years ago.

I haven’t tried pie crusts either, but I can’t imagine that it would be harder than working with the super sticky Popeye dough. At last, I think I’ll be able to judge different crust recipes based on the recipe itself, rather than me over working the dough. (I’ve used same recipes more than once and still ended up with different results so it wasn’t the recipe that was bad).

SO inexpensive for such a super handy product! Knowing how much easier it made things for me, I would have willing paid more for it and gotten it years ago!

They slip all around the counter while cutting. Obviously they don’t have a reservoir so they get pretty wet too (trailing off onto the counter and making it sticky).

They are flexible and easy to throw everything in a pot at once. They don’t show any wear from my chopping knife after several uses.

I punched a hole in each and have them hanging from a hook above the counter. It keeps them handy.

Make sure you dry them well and leave them separated or it will defeat the purpose of having separate ones.

They are cheap and cheaply made, but they get the job done.
