I use dowel rods. Simply cut the dowel rods the length of your counter or rolling mat. Use your rolling pin to roll over the top of the rods.

Diana, pisco is a vodka distilled from grapes. It is done in Peru and Chile. It is clear color and tastes between vodka and rum. It isn't sweet.

U can sub with vodka or grappa. Any other spirit works, specially if u want to impart a particular flavor.

Hi Diane,
Pisco is a grape flavored brandy. It is available on the web and at local liquor stores. you may want to contact the author of the recipe for her/his preferred brand or a possible substitute.

Hi Fran,
The bands are designed to work as long as you:
>make sure that the bands are in direct contact with just the surface that the dough is resting on. When using a pastry mat, you can accidentally roll one of the bands off the mat onto the counter top.
>roll the dough until the rolling no longer is increasing its size. Which may require dividing the dough to work with the length of rolling pin you are using.
