Know before you buy
No, this is an American-style straight rolling pin without handles. Its solid, cylindrical design allows you to apply even pressure across the entire surface of your dough.
For the best results, use a chilled dough and apply firm, consistent pressure as you roll. Dusting the rolling pin lightly with flour before use can also help prevent the dough from sticking to the grooved pattern.
It works best with firm doughs like shortbread, sugar cookies, or pie crusts. Very soft or sticky doughs may fill the grooves and lose the definition of the checked pattern.
Hand wash the rolling pin with mild soap and warm water, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning. To maintain the wood, occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to prevent it from drying out.
Because the surface is permanently grooved with 1/4-inch checks, it will always leave an imprint on your dough. It is intended specifically for adding decorative texture to your baked goods.
