Know before you buy
The French-style design lacks handles, which gives you more direct tactile feedback as you roll. The tapered ends allow for effortless pivoting and circular motion, making it much easier to achieve a perfectly round, even crust.
This pin is not dishwasher safe. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and dry it immediately. To maintain the wood's luster and prevent drying, periodically apply a food-safe wood conditioner or a blend of beeswax and mineral oil.
No, the pin is finished with a natural, food-safe blend of beeswax and mineral oil. This protects the wood while ensuring it remains completely safe for direct contact with your pastry dough.
While the tapered ends are specifically designed for precision and thin pastry work, the 1.75-inch diameter provides enough heft to handle standard doughs. It is balanced for control, though it is best suited for delicate pastry tasks rather than heavy-duty bread doughs.
Solid walnut construction provides a dense, durable tool that won't warp or flex under pressure. Unlike hollow pins, this solid design offers consistent weight and stability, which helps you roll out dough more evenly.
