I have a set consisting of a marble slab and rolling pin (non-hollow).
And yes, they keep cool fairly well, in particular if I first store them
in the fridge overnight before I use them. But a larger, fixed on with a
thermostat would have a certain cool factor. I did not say it was
*needed* under normal conditions, but that if you are talking a
money-is-no-objection-anything-goes style kitchen, then I would want
one.
