A kitchen paper holder that you can mount to a wall, shelf, etc, and that has a stopping mechanism so that it allows you to rip some paper off the roll with just one hand. Absolute kitchen game changer.
I've been looking for one of these for parchment. Any recommendations?
Have you asked the ancient Egyptians?
Dead, unfortunately, and I don't read hieroglyph :(
Also, papyrus sucks.
I have no idea if they exist for parchment too. I got one like this:

Give any roll a tight tug outward to apply pressure to the tear line without yanking the whole roll down - then immediately rip across the line.
The final rip acts both as a means of stripping the paper off and a redirection of the initial tug energy.
Eventually you should be able to rip any sheets with one hand. Or get paper everywhere like a silly cat sometimes. A fun alternative though. :)
