Know before you buy
Unlike traditional rolling pins with handles and a central metal rod, this French-style pin is a single, solid piece of wood. Its tapered design allows for more precise control and better tactile feedback when rolling out delicate doughs like pastry or pizza.
The Earth & Nest Baker's Pin is crafted from natural, unfinished beechwood. This provides a slight grip that helps prevent dough from sticking, though you may want to lightly dust it with flour before use.
Hand wash the pin with warm water and a mild soap, then dry it immediately with a towel. To keep the wood in top condition, occasionally rub it with a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner to prevent drying or cracking.
Yes, the 18-inch length provides ample surface area for rolling out standard pie crusts, cookies, and puff pastry. Its lightweight 8.3 oz construction makes it easy to maneuver, even when working with larger sheets of dough.
FSC certification ensures that the beechwood used for this rolling pin is sourced from forests that are managed responsibly, providing environmental, social, and economic benefits.
