This rolling pin is super easy to use and so helpful to get the correct thickness for sugar cookies. Super easy to clean as well!This rolling pin is super easy to use and just as easy to clean. Highly recommend for anyone who wants consistency in their dough thickness.Could definitely have a little more weight to it. But works well.I'm a baking novice having used a rolling pin just once or twice in life, and only for unintended purposes. Pandemic scarcity has forced me into attempting to make my own puff pastry; Pepperidge Farm is -- yuck! -- but it is all that is available in my neck of the woods. Cooking shows make dough rolling look simple so I had to learn the hard way that the wine bottle technique can only be mastered by Italian grandmothers. :(I still have a lot to learn about dough rolling and puff pastry but I love it that my new rolling pin is easy to clean, doesn't take up space, sturdy without being heavy (I wonder if it's a little on the light side), is a comfortable fit for my hands, and I can pop it in the fridge to chill before working the dough.Easy to maneuver so farThis is a well make rolling pin, made of hard wood? That is not described. I found that dough would stick to it because the finish was a little rough. As a former furniture builder, I know to get a smooth finish you first have to wet the wood down, let completely dry and then sand it with the grain, with fine (220) sand paper. Then the wood has to be sealed up to keep dough from sticking to it. I did this with mineral oil, since it is the only sealer I know of that is non-toxic. Then the color dakened a lot. Yes my roll of dough (whole wheat) is rather wet at first and prone to sticking. I have not tried the roller since finishing it, and may write back if there are problems. I use rapid rise yeast and get a great loaf! If you want the recipe, write to:
[email protected] is the cleverest kitchen item I have ever owned. Perfect, even cookies and pie dough. I was so impressed I have purchased it for many friends and relatives.I'm not a huge baker, but I think some of my frustration was that I did not ever have an adjustable rolling pin before. This certainly takes the guess work out of the thickness and consistancy. It's super easy to use and adjust. You just unscrew the end caps and remove the discs leaving the size you want as the biggest. Then screw the endcaps back on to keep the discs in place. Make sure you tighten the ends well so there is no gap between the pin and disc. This definitely makes rolling out dough for cookies, crescents, and other pastries so much easier than with a non adjustable rolling pin.This rolling pin with removable rings is a snap to clean when you're finished using it. Once you take it apart isn't easy to rinse each piece with no crevices for food to hide. This is so easy to clean that I would have no trouble letting my child use it for play dough rolling and still be able to keep it as my main go to rolling pin. Since I've tried this adjustable rolling pin, I have retired my fancy heavy marble rolling pin. This one is so easy to use and easy to to handle!This rolling pin is good BUT I haven't got large hands but can only roll out pastry with FLAT hands as the actual rolling pin is a bit small hence not big enough to Clasp hands round the handles, good quality though. Happy With The Price.☺Finally a decent rolling pin. Heavy wood, rolls great and evenly. No need to use your muscles. Love it.Don't expect it to be like grandma's old rolling pin. They don't make them like that anymore. I was disappointed when I opened the box. Cheap looking and not worth the price.Looks like a high quality roller and it is. Very good job and a very good price. If your wife stays behind the door after hours waiting for you to come back,don't buy it,this will brake your head for sure ?Bought this as a gift but I do have an old one myself. It seems to make rolling pastry and other stuff so much easier. Easy to clean, nice to look at, so much better than the plastic pins.
