Abstract: For rolling out dough, a flexible pastry cloth includes a plurality of first fastener parts or buttonholes spaced successively around its margin. A plurality of suction cups, each securingly engageable with a flat surface, such as a tabletop or countertop, each have a second fastener part or button individually connectable removably with a corresponding part on the cloth. Engagement of the cups with the surface permits stretching of the cloth to enable rolling of the dough against the surface through the cloth. A further improvement adds a second flexible cloth affixed atop and overlying the first.

Abstract: A flour sifter has an upright cylinder within the interior of which a screen is disposed generally transversely to cooperate with an agitator movable over the screen to effect the sifting of flour therethrough. Affixed across the lower end of the cylinder is a first plate which includes a circumferentially-spaced first series of openings successively separated by respectively interposed first panels. A second plate, juxtaposed with the first plate, is movable about an axis extending centrally of the cylinder and includes a circumferentially-spaced second series of openings again successively separated by respectively interposed second panels. Those second openings are alignable with the first openings upon movement of the second plate to one position and are alignable with the first panels upon movement of the second plate to another position.
