This little thing makes a shorter roll than is made using the standard bamboo mat, but, so what? Just make two, or more!
I still don't make the prettiest rolls - generally they are too fat, but they are far prettier than the rolls I make with a mat. And everything is cleaner and neater: my hands, my counter top, my floor, my clothing, my floor, my back yard (LOL!). A great little tool for the occasional sushi maker.
