Know before you buy
The French tapered design provides superior tactile feedback, allowing you to feel the dough's thickness and resistance directly through your hands. This shape makes it easier to pivot and rotate the pin, which is essential for achieving perfectly round crusts and delicate pastry work.
Hand wash the rolling pin with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately with a towel; never submerge it in water or place it in the dishwasher. To maintain the wood's luster and prevent drying, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner.
The rolling pin features a satin-smooth sanded finish. This smooth surface prevents the wood from snagging or tearing delicate dough, ensuring a consistent texture across your pastries.
While solid Black Walnut is a dense and durable hardwood, the 20-inch French design is balanced to provide enough weight to flatten dough efficiently without being cumbersome. The weight is sufficient to do the work for you, reducing the amount of manual pressure required.
The food-safe refined walnut oil provides an initial protective barrier, but it is not a permanent coating. Over time and with regular use, the wood may absorb moisture or dry out, so we recommend re-oiling the pin occasionally to keep the wood nourished and protected.
