Know before you buy
No, this rolling pin is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the quality of the maple wood and the integrity of the internal bearings, you should hand wash it with a damp cloth and dry it immediately.
This model features a robust steel axle paired with self-lubricating nylon bearings. This design allows the barrel to rotate independently of the handles, ensuring a smooth, consistent roll without requiring extra effort from your wrists.
The barrel is made of natural, waxed hardwood and does not have a synthetic non-stick coating. To prevent dough from sticking, we recommend lightly dusting the barrel with flour before use.
No, the handles are fixed to the steel axle and are not designed to be removed. The construction is intended to be permanent to ensure the long-term durability of the rolling mechanism.
The 12-inch barrel is a versatile size that offers enough surface area for standard pie crusts and pastry work while remaining compact enough to fit easily in most kitchen drawers.
