Joseph Joseph 20085 Adjustable Rolling Pin - Multi-Colour

Product Information

From durable and classic to sleek and modern, here are 10 rolling pins that will drastically improve your kitchenware collection in more ways than one. This model from Fox Run has a 10-inch pin with 4-inch wooden handles on each end. It also comes with a matching wooden base to make it easier to store in a cabinet or on your open shelving. No more worrying about a heavy 5-pound marble pin rolling off the shelf and on to your toes.

French rolling pins: These dowel-style, handless rolling pins don't spin on their own, but this allows you greater control over how you work the dough. (It's why so many professional bakers swear by this type of rolling pin.) A French rolling pin is better suited to thin, delicate pastry doughs because the pressure is more evenly distributed across the span of the pin. American rolling pins: The iconic hardwood cylinder with free-spinning handles is an American rolling pan (also known as a baker's pin). This style of rolling pin spins on an axle, so it's better to use with heavy doughs. Traditional versions of American rolling pins are typically made from heavy woods, but today, you can buy marble, metal, even silicone versions. If you're guilty of using a wine bottle to roll out dough, it's time to buy a rolling pin. Sure, in a pinch, you can use a wine bottle or even a large Mason jar, but there's always a risk of breaking the glass or popping the cork. Plus, your dough is never evenly rolled out with a wine bottle, no matter what you think of your handiwork.In home testing, this was a solid favorite due to the size and heft. It was great for rolling out larger doughs, since it covered more area, and it handled a dense pie dough with ease, thanks to the weight. It rolled smoothly, making it a pleasure to work with. This style of rolling pin, also called a "baker’s" or "American" rolling pin, is most likely the one you are familiar with. It has a wooden barrel that rotates around a dowel attached to two handles, usually wooden as well. This is by far the most common style you’ll find in home kitchens.

Polyurethane: This finish is excellent for rolling fondant icing. They are light, easy to use and dishwasher-friendly. Marble: The weight and smoothness of the marble offer a super-smooth roll over both shortcrust pastry and cookie dough. The coolness (which can be increased further by chilling it in the fridge) makes them ideal for making puff pastry. The pin is 2 inches in diameter and weighs just under 1.5 pounds, so it’s heavy enough to handle dough, but not so heavy to make it difficult to use. It is not dishwasher-safe and should be washed with warm, soapy water and dried immediately. Since this pin is so long, you might not be able to fit it into a standard-sized kitchen drawer. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, a marble rolling pin has a couple of major benefits. First, unlike wood, a marble pin can be chilled in the fridge or freezer, which is ideal for working with temperature-sensitive laminated doughs like puff pastry or pie crust. Second, marble pins are generally heavier than their wooden counterparts, so they can help flatten a stiff dough with ease.Over many years of use and proper care, hardwood rolling pins will develop a natural patina and shine. The essential baking utensil will last decades, making every dollar a worthwhile investment. FOOD GRADE STAINLESS STEEL: Set aside ordinary aluminum imposters. Our rolling pin is crafted from 100% food-grade 304 stainless steel, offering unrivaled durability and longevity. Engineered to resist rust and damage, this is a kitchen tool designed for those who are serious about their baking. This roundup was edited by Jenny Kellerhals.

Pies are one of her favorite desserts to make, and she prefers a French-style rolling pin for most projects. Wood: A classic rolling pin is made of wood, which bakers love as it can easily be dusted with flour and, with love and care, will last a lifetime. A wooden pin also improves with age as it builds up a natural patina from the fats in the pastry.
